8 Deadly Sins: Learning to Defend the Life of Grace Vivian Boland, OP CTS Deeper Christianity series. The Church has settled on a list of 7 mortal sins but the Fathers of the Church more often referred to 8. The deadly or capital sins - covetousness, envy, sloth, gluttony, lust, anger, vainglory and pride - are the most significant and insidious temptations with which we must contend. A first step in countering their influence is understanding their psychological and spiritual roots in human experience. Standing humbly in the truth about ourselves, we will appreciate the power of God’s love to heal and strengthen our nature, for love is not jealous or boastful, not arrogant or rude, not irritable or resentful.

The Meaning of Tradition Yves Congar, OP Some Christians claim to reject Tradition in preference to a supposedly "Bible only" Christianity. Catholics, on the other hand, venerate Tradition, yet often without adequately understanding it. In this masterful book, the great theologian Yves Congar explains why Tradition is an inescapable aspect of a fully biblical Christian faith. He explores the various forms of Tradition and discusses the relationship between Scripture and Tradition, as well as the role of the Magisterium of the Church. The Meaning of Tradition clears up misconceptions held by many Evangelical Christians and even some Catholics on this important subject. [more details...] Code: B0841 £10.99 Add To Order

Dying in Christ Tony Foley NEW Preparing for a Holy Death. Powerful testimony to God's faithfulness in the face of death. When watching a loved one die, we know that death is a mystery which can instil fear in human hearts.

Written during the author's terminal illness, this booklet sets out a Christian testimony to dying, revealing a spiritual approach to acceptance of the diagnosis, and ultimately of death itself; and describing how to face up to various difficulties and temptations. The author shows that the time given to us is precious, and despite the psychological burden, we can use it well to approach God in a spirit of heartfelt love.

A Catholic Approach to Dying: Death - a friendly companion Fr Neil McNicholas This booklet invites us to examine our attitude towards death, and discover that taking death on board positively affects the way we live our life. As people of faith, specifically the Catholic faith, several practical considerations arise: the sacrament of the sick, the processes of dying and preparing for death, final care, arranging the funeral, and grieving – all are carefully addressed. How we live all this depends greatly on how well we have come to terms with the fact that one day we will die. [more details...] Code: B1162 £1.95 Add To Order
Practical Guide to the Spiritual Care of the Dying Person Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales Precise and helpful advice for those involved with the care of dying people. Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern hospice movement, defined "total pain" as being emotional, social and spiritual distress, which accentuates physical pain. Without addressing each of these factors, she argued, we fail to control pain and distress. When a patient is dying, this becomes more important than ever, yet the pressures of modern living mean that the spiritual needs of patients are all too often ignored. This guide to spiritual care is so valuable because it enables us all to recognise psychosocial and spiritual distress in the dying. It is applicable to dying people of any faith or none; as the authors observe, "we share a common humanity if not always a common faith". A4 booklet. [more details...] Code: B1673 £2.50 Add To Order
