The Diary is an amazing narrative that chronicles the experiences of a simple, uneducated Polish nun who received a special call shortly before the outbreak of World War II. Our Lord appeared to her and instructed her to spread the message of his Divine Mercy to all, especially in our current age, which is full of so much distress and worldliness. The message of the Divine Mercy is that God loves us all of us. And He wants us to recognize that his mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon him with trust, receive his mercy, and let it flow through us to others.

Sheen, helping us hear Christ’s final words not as distant echoes, but as living invitations.

In the midst of crisis, confusion, and a world at war with the Church, it's time to come home again to our spiritual father, St. Joseph. In this richly researched and lovingly presented program of consecration to St. Joseph, Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, brings to life the wonders, the power, and the ceaseless love of St. Joseph, Universal Patron of the Church and the Terror of Demons. 

Two years before he died, St. Thomas Aquinas, probably the greatest teacher the Church has ever known, was asked by his assistant Brother Reginald to write a simple summary of the faith of the Catholic Church for those who lacked the time or the stamina to tackle his massive Summa Theologica. In response, the great saint quickly set down in language that non-scholars can understand his peerless insights into the major topics of theology: the Trinity, Divine Providence, the Incarnation of Christ, the Last Judgment, and much more.

Servant of God Michelle Duppong (1984–2015) lived ordinary days with extraordinary love — and God used her short life to set hearts ablaze. After her death, letters poured in describing the many graces obtained through her intercession — most often a deep peace and trust in God’s will. Her growing reputation for holiness led Bishop David Kagan to open her cause for canonization.

In 1987, F. Tupper Saussy made a choice that would change everything—rejecting a federal sentence and stepping into life as a fugitive. But this wasn’t just an escape. It was the beginning of an obsession: to uncover the hidden forces behind the United States of America. What he found is as shocking as it is controversial.

In concentrated meditation, St. Teresa experienced a vision depicting the workings of the soul when one is truly seeking Christ. This vision revealed a beautiful castle, shining and brilliant, holding seven chambers within. She understood each of these chambers to represent the increasingly intimate levels of communion with God. Through peaceful and sincere prayer, one can experience this spiritual journey to complete and holy habitation in the presence of God. Through the seven stages of understanding, the soul must deny self, become humbled, and along the way, grow closer to the Lord.

“You would do well to consult Norbert. He is, as we well know, closer to God than we are.” — St. Bernard of Clairvaux. It is rare to find a historian motivated by deep faith who also possesses the literary craft of a novelist, yet that is precisely the gift that we encounter in Fr. Dominique-Marie Dauzet in Eternal Pilgrim (originally published as Petite Vie de Saint Norbert and awarded the Montyon Prize by the Académie Française). Journey through the turbulent times of St. Norbert of Xanten (1080–1134), who lived in the Holy Roman Empire through schism and the Crusades.
