The Sinner's Guide (Deluxe)

The trigger button is hidden. Click here to open popup.

The Sinner's Guide is the most famous work of one of the most prominent and exceptional spiritual teachers of the sixteenth century. It has been compared to The Imitation of Christ for its breadth, intensity, and usefulness for devotion and has been translated into Italian, French, German, Polish, Latin, and Greek. Covering what many spiritual writers neglect, Venerable Louis discusses both virtue and vice—how to both do good and avoid evil. Included in this volume are chapters on:

Eleven motives for practicing virtue
Twelve privileges of virtue
Cautions against deferring conversion
Remedies for the seven deadly sins and others
Virtues and duties of our state
And far more!

Venerable Louis stands as a master of the spiritual life throughout the whole Christian tradition. Born in extremely poor circumstances, his mother was widowed when he was five, and the pair subsisted on alms gathered from outside the gate of a Dominican priory. Eventually, Louis became a Dominican himself, and began a career of preaching that resulted, at length, in traveling throughout Spain and Portugal. He attained—despite the humble friar's best efforts—various posts in the Order of Preachers and served at courts of nobles and the queen regent of Portugal. He was offered bishoprics and the cardinalate, but declined all offers. He suffered much in his life, accused by the Spanish Inquisition of heresy unjustly; he was later vindicated by the Council of Trent and the witness of subsequent saints. Indeed, he counts among his readers and recommenders such pillars of sanctity as St. Rose of Lima, St. Vincent de Paul, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Charles Borromeo, St. Louise de Marillac, and St. Francis de Sales, who recommended Venerable Louis's works be read as a "second Breviary."

But Venerable Louis's primary mission, quite unusually for his time, was to write and preach for the laity. Indeed, a disapproving observer said Venerable Louis wrote for "wives of carpenters," maybe forgetting who the Blessed Virgin was. Let, then, the words of this venerable Spanish preacher illuminate your heart with the light of Christ, speaking, as it were, straight from the bosom of the Master.

Life of St. Columba, Apostle of Scotland

The trigger button is hidden. Click here to open popup.

St. Fintan, one of the Saint's first companions in Iona, was asked once towards the end of Columba's life to describe him to one who had heard much of his holiness, but who did not know him. "He is a king amongst kings," answered Fintan, "a sage amongst wise men, a monk amongst monks. He is poor with God's poor; a mourner with those who weep, and joyful with those who rejoice. Yet amidst all the gifts of nature and of grace that have been so liberally showered on him by God, the true humility of Christ is as royally rooted in his heart as if it were its natural home." (Chapter IX)

“Columbcille was a man of great heart and of determined will; what he set himself to do was sure to be done” (Chapter IX)

“To be quick to take offence and slow to forgive an injury is a characteristic of the Celtic race all the world over, and Columba was no exception to the rule. Long and sharp was to be the struggle before that quick and imperious nature was wholly conquered by the grace of God, but great was to be the victory at last.” (Chapter I)

“It was Columba’s love of the Church that won for him among his companions

the name by which he became famous in after-days– “Columb-cille” or “the dove of the Church.” He would slip away from their games whenever he could, but they always knew where to find him. “He nestles beside the altar like a dove in its nest,” they would say.” (Chapter I)

“But God shows His love for His Saints in ways which are not the ways of men, and the chastening fires of sorrow and of suffering were to purify that ardent and impulsive nature.” (Chapter III)

The Triumph of the Blessed Sacrament - History of Nicola Aubry

By Rev. Michael Müller, C.S.S.R.

“Great was their terror when they saw how the devil writhed and howled in agony, as soon as the Blessed Sacrament was brought near him.” (Chapter II)

“By the power of the Blessed Sacrament, all the obstacles of Satan were overcome.” (Chapter II)

“At the sight of the Blessed Sacrament, the devil suffered the most frightful torture” (Chapter II)

“The Bishop now held the Blessed Sacrament close to the face of the possessed woman. The demon writhed in fearful agony. He tried in every way to escape from the presence of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.” (Chapter II)

“Many Protestants present also said: ‘I believe now in the Presence of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament; I have seen it with my eyes!...Oh, now I can understand what a good thing is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!’” (Chapter II)

“The Bishop then took the Blessed Sacrament in his hand, and, holding It on high, he said, with a solemn voice: ‘O thou wicked, unclean spirit, Beelzebub! thou arch-enemy of the eternal God! behold, here present, the precious Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Lord and Master! I adjure thee, in the name and by the power of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, true God and true man, Who is here present; I command thee to depart instantly and forever, from this creature of God. Depart to the deepest depth of hell, there to be tormented forever. Go forth, unclean spirit, go forth—behold here thy Lord and Master!’” (Chapter II)

“Jesus Christ triumphed over the devil by His death on the cross; He broke his power. Hence it is that Satan bears an implacable hatred to Jesus Christ and His religion. What wonder, then, if we find that he is always engaged in undermining Christianity, and destroying all belief in it?” (Chapter III)

The Meekness and Humility of Jesus Christ: A Life to be Learned

The trigger button is hidden. Click here to open popup.

In The Meekness and Humility of Jesus Christ, Conor Gallagher invites readers on a deeply personal and prayerful journey through the Gospels, uncovering the quiet power and divine restraint of Christ in moments both familiar and overlooked. With poetic prose and raw vulnerability, Gallagher meditates on 40 events in Jesus’s life to reveal how His meekness and humility are not just virtues to admire, but lessons to be lived. This is not merely a devotional—it is a summons to encounter Christ more intimately and be transformed by the quiet thunder of His heart.

Readers will gain fresh insights into how these the virtues of meekness and humility—often overlooked or conflated—are distinct yet harmoniously embodied in Jesus, even in unexpected Gospel events.
Through Gallagher’s method of slow, prayerful meditation and reflection, readers are encouraged to experience the Gospels in a deeper, more integrated way, noticing connections across chapters and stories that reveal the seamless unity of Christ’s life and His eternal invitation: “Learn of me, for I am meek and humble of heart” (Mt. 11:29).
The book aims not merely to inform, but to draw the reader into intimate dialogue with our Lord, encouraging personal prayer, reverence, and transformation through daily, contemplative engagement with Scripture.

The American Catholic Land Movement: Past, Present, and Future

The trigger button is hidden. Click here to open popup.

The mission, plantation, pioneer homestead, immigrant colony, mission farm, and remote job-homeschooling homestead—this is the story of the American Catholic Land Movement. This collection of twelve essays explores the intricacies of this history, how it influences current responses to social and economic ills, and the way it can open up opportunities for families to better integrate their work and faith life by reconnecting with the land. The American Catholic Land Movement: Past, Present, Future seeks to reclaim a distinctively American agrarian heritage for Catholics in order to move forward with a clear plan and purpose.

For the first time, the authors of this volume have laid out the contours of the American Catholic Land Movement in one coherent account, portraying the contributions of its key figures while exploring its essential themes. These major figures and movements include the Southern Agrarians, the National Catholic Rural Life Conference, and Catholic Worker Movement. The volume then explores its present dynamics under the influence of figures such as Wendell Berry and the move to form local, family-based economic initiatives. From addressing current challenges, the authors lay out aspirational solutions for sanctifying the home and, through it, the soil of America itself, uniting Catholics in the pursuit of an integrated life of prayer, work, and community.

This book explores the spiritual promise of Catholic life in the land of North America. It asks whether the land still contains a promise for Catholics today. What does God want us to do to continue the sanctification of the land, to pursue freedom in virtue, to promote reconciliation in faith, and to live in a way that truly gives Him glory?
