Dark Night of the Soul

Dark Night of the Soul
. In Dark Night of the Soul, Saint John of the Cross presents for us a portrait - painted from his own experience - of one who advances successfully through the struggles of the spiritual life. The "dark night" that St. John describes is not abandonment by God but special consideration from Him for those who desire to purify and perfect their souls. With a soul purified from earthly attachments, we can advance through the much quoted but oft misunderstood "dark night of the soul" into unity with God. By accepting the desolation and difficulty of this process, the soul cooperates with God and opens itself to receiving and revealing more perfectly God's glory. No. 2213. Reg. 11.95 — Now only 7.17

Abandonment to Divine Providence
Abandonment to Divine Providence

 

Abandonment to Divine Providence
. "Let go and let God." This popular phrase captures the essence of Father Jean-Pierre de Caussade's 18th century treatise on trust, Abandonment to Divine Providence. Do you doubt? Do you suffer? Are you anxious about the trials of life? Father de Caussade offers the one sure solution to any spiritual difficulty: abandon yourself entirely to God by embracing the duties of your station in life. With wisdom and gentleness he teaches how to practice complete submission to the will of God in every situation, whether we are beginners or seasoned travelers on the way of perfection. True abandonment, he explains, is a trusting, peaceful, and childlike surrender to the guidance of grace. No. 2211.

Heretics
Heretics. One of Chesterton's earliest books, Heretics is also one of his best. Overflowing with characteristic wit, incisiveness, and splendid gusto, here is Chesterton's razor-sharp analysis of the fallacies of modern thought as exemplified in the leading writers of the time.

The Idea of a University
The Idea of a University. As the leader of the famous Oxford Movement, Cardinal John Henry Newman was eminently qualified to write such a book as The Idea of a University. In it, Newman poses a number of critical questions: What is the purpose of education? What does it mean to be educated? What is the role of a university? And where does Catholicism fit in?

The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Anne Catherine Emmerich's books are not merely works of uncanny power by a renowned mystic and stigmatic. They present visionary recreations of the exact details and circumstances of the events in the Gospel.

The Story of a Soul
The Story of a Soul. The Story of a Soul, St. Therese of Lisieux's autobiography, was first published in 1899. Today it ranks among the greatest Christian spiritual classics and has been translated into many well-known languages. Almost every pope since its publication has promoted St. Therese's teaching to the faithful for their imitation; Pius XI declared her the greatest saint of our age and John Paul II made her a Doctor of the Church. Readers are often caught by the vivid clarity or simple profundity of some sentence of hers in such a way that their lives are completely changed. St. Therese's style is extremely childlike and spontaneous, having a charm that is hard to describe, whether she rises to poetic heights or simply pours her heart out to Jesus Himself. No. 2231.

Chesterton's work is witty and insightful, illustrating the reasonableness of orthodoxy despite the attacks of its critics. No. 2215. Reg. 11.95 — Sale 7.17

Catechism of the Council of Trent
Catechism of the Council of Trent. Previously known as the "Roman Catechism," this authoritative catechism was produced by the Council of Trent and originally published in 1566.

Scholars and amateur Church historians will certainly want to have this primary source close at hand. No. 2224.

Introduction to the Devout Life
Introduction to the Devout Life. Since its first publication in 1609, Introduction to the Devout Life has always had a privileged position in the Church: no other spiritual guide provides so complete, so balanced and so practical an approach to the spiritual life. For his spiritual genius, St. Francis De Sales was made a Doctor of the Church. De Sales was a master psychologist with a special gift for teaching practical morality with common sense.

The Interior Castle
The Interior Castle. St. Teresa of Jesus, also known as St. Teresa of Avila, is one of the most popular Doctors of the Church. Her teachings on prayer have inspired and guided Christians in their spiritual journeys for over four hundred years. Although The Interior Castle describes her own particular road to holiness, St. Teresa is aware that others may be led differently for there are many paths to the heavenly mansions. Her work is invaluable because it is the result of careful inquiry into the various phases whereby a soul is gradually transformed into the likeness of God. St. Teresa takes nothing for granted; her personal experiences are admitted only after having been fully investigated and found to be consistent and conformable to the teaching of the Church and the words of Holy Scripture. No. 2232.
