Every scribe instructed in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a householder who brings forth out of his storeroom things both new and old. Matthew 13:52
St. Th r se of Lisieux, well acquainted with the Kingdom and famous for showering roses from Heaven, has done it again. In this little book, apt quotations from the Little Flower appear alongside beautiful old fashioned block print images of the traditional Stations of the Cross. The combination provides all little souls - from children, converts, and beginners in the spiritual life to those who have accompanied Jesus for decades - with a fresh set of meditations on Jesus' infinite love as expressed in His Passion and Death.
Each Station begins with the customary We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee . . . and ends with an Our Father, Hail Mary, or Glory Be. Following the fourteen Stations are St. Th r se's Prayer to the Holy Face, her sister Celine's painting of the Holy Face (after the Shroud of Turin), the indulgenced Prayer Before a Crucifix, and a brief explanation of indulgences.
St. Th r se described prayer as a lifting up of the heart; a simple glance heavenwards; a cry of gratitude and of love, in the midst of trials as well as amidst joys. It is something great, something supernatural, which expands the soul and unites it with Jesus.
With this book, she invites readers to join her in a simple glance heavenwards, a cry of gratitude and love, something supernatural to unite the soul with Jesus as He proceeds step by step, Station by Station, to His Passion and Death for love of us.
Walk the Way of the Cross with this Doctor of the Church as she brings forth from her Mother's storeroom a blend of prayers both old and new. Perfect for individual devotion, group prayer, and congregational use in a parish, St. Th r se's little way of spiritual childhood and the Stations of the Cross blend to produce a fragrant offering of love.
Carlo Acutis, born May 3, 1991, fully embraced the gift of life. Known as a computer whiz, he also liked to play soccer, video games, and the saxophone. He enjoyed watching his favorite police dramas and making short films with his star cast of cats and dogs. He had many friends and enjoyed spending time with them.
Yet Carlo was a little different at school, in the pizzerias, and on the soccer field. What set Carlo apart was his constant pursuit of holiness. In addition to his fun hobbies, he spent time teaching catechism classes and serving in soup kitchens. Carlo loved to attend daily Mass and frequent Eucharistic adoration. The Word of God and the Eucharist were the center of his life. Carlo's unwavering devotion to the Eucharist inspired him to tell the story of Eucharistic miracles through a website he created just for fun. He wanted to deepen his own knowledge of these phenomena, to strengthen his devotion to Jesus, and to invite others to grow in love for the Eucharist. The website subsequently caught the attention of people across the globe, introducing countless people to Eucharistic miracles.
Carlo died from a sudden and violent illness in 2006 at the age of fifteen. In less than a decade, his story spread across Italy and around the world. After Pope Francis declared him venerable in 2018, his beatification was celebrated in Assisi on October 10, 2020. The next step will be canonization, making him the first millennial saint.
Since he was beatified in 2020, Carlo Acutis has been the subject of widespread interest across the globe. The typical Italian teenager who lived a life of extraordinary virtue has captivated countless millions. And yet, even with the worldwide attention on this millennial saint, we're left wondering and wanting more. What was Carlo really like? How did he interact with those closest to him in daily life? What was it like to live in the same home as him?
In My Son Carlo, Antonia Salzano Acutis shares for the first time the intimate, private moments of her son's life, including his final days in vivid detail before he died from leukemia at the age of 15. In her own words, Antonia shares stories and memories as a mother who lost her son too early but was forever shaped by his remarkable life.
Carlo has quickly become a favorite patron in heaven, changing the lives of those who pray for his intercession. In this book, Antonia shares how Carlo desires to bring people to Jesus, like he did for her, helping her rekindle her faith: This was his secret: that he had a constant, intimate relationship with Jesus. He wanted everyone he encountered to have this kind of relationship like he did. He did not consider it to be something just for him. He was convinced that this relationship was accessible to all.

The most engaging and complete collection available of this 14th century English mystic
The Revelations of Julian of Norwich is the first book written in English by a woman - in this case, by a 14th century recluse who recounts the poignant, subtle, and radical insights granted to her in sixteen visions of the crucified Christ as she lay on what was believed to be her deathbed. Julian's miraculous recovery from that illness then led to twenty more years of reflection and contemplation on those revelations and finally to her writing a detailed account of her mystical experience.
Her work - in the same Middle English as her contemporary Geoffrey Chaucer - is dense, deeply intuitive, and theologically complex. The Complete Julian is the first book to offer a modern translation of all of Julian's writings (including her complete Revelations), a complete analysis of her work, as well as original historical, religious, and personal background material that helps the reader comprehend the depth and profundity of her life and work.
[Julian's Revelations] may well be the most important work of Christian reflection in the English language.
-- Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury
A Worldwide Educational Vision
Madeleine Sophie Barat, a child of pre-revolutionary France, became the founder of a congregation of Catholic sisters who developed a tradition of education that continues today worldwide. She and her sisters saw in the solid education of women a means of restoring French society devastated by the Revolution, and she saw dedication to the love of God symbolized by the heart of Christ as the basis of that education. She led the Society of the Sacred Heart for 63 years; during that time in spite of revolutions, expulsions, political troubles of all kinds, she saw it spread to four continents. Today her educational vision continues to inspire her sisters and their partners in mission around the world to discover and reveal the love of God in Christ through their commitment to the education of young people in all its forms. With over a dozen images, this book will acquaint you with Madeleine Sophie Barat's life story and inspiring legacy.

Each saint's journey is unique, yet they all share a common commitment to Christ. By learning about their perseverance through trials, acts of charity, and unwavering faith, Catholics can find examples to emulate in their own spiritual journeys. Saints like St. Augustine, who overcame a sinful past, or St. Thérèse of Lisieux, who taught the Little Way of everyday holiness, remind believers that God calls everyone to sainthood.
Young scientists, sisters, and theologians of the green generation reflect on saints--canonized and not--who offer hope and inspire us towards ecological action. In the community of saints, all together are companions in memory and hope. Together, all together, they are becoming something strange and growing and great, instruments of change. Green Saints for a Green Generation taps beautifully into this dynamic for the sake of our suffering Earth, which cries out for no less.--From the Foreword by Elizabeth A. Johnson, CSJ
In Laudato Si' Pope Francis established care for creation as one of the central themes of Catholic social teaching. Yet that ecological consciousness has yet to take root en masse among the Catholic faithful. In Green Saints for a Green Generation young Catholic women on saints--canonized and not--who connected their faith to concern for the earth.
The writers include a wide range of figures, from the traditional, such as Sts. Clare of Assisi, Ignatius of Loyola, and Marguerite Bourgeoys, to contemporary figures like Thomas Merton, author Toni Morrison, and the Martyrs of the Amazon. By connecting these key figures to environmental responsibility, the contributors encourage the not-yet informed to become active, inviting younger generations to join the ecological movement, to take taking on the responsibility from their elders, and to shoulder the ecological burden for themselves.

Saints are real-life heroes of faith who inspire us to become more like Christ. In this series of beautifully illustrated books for early and young readers ages four to nine, these true stories come to life and connect the children of today with the virtues known as the Beatitudes, which Jesus spotlighted in his Sermon on the Mount.
From 1899 until her death in 1903, the young Italian woman St. Gemma Galgani physically experienced the wounds of Christ every Thursday evening. The stigmata would appear and bleed on her hands, feet, and side, stopping only on Fridayafternoon and leaving white marks as a reminder. St. Gemma also experienced countless visions, raptures, ecstasies, and other mystical graces - as well as intense temptations from the devil.
Here is the remarkable diary of this young saint, which her spiritual director ordered her to write. It will give you an enthralling glimpse into her numerous encounters with Jesus Crucified, with Our Lady, and with her guardian angel, whom she saw almost every day and would even send on errands, usually to deliver messages to her confessor in Rome.
You will witness St. Gemmaï 1/2ï 1/2ï 1/2s courage in fulfilling even laborious duties while wearing the hidden crown of thorns, and youï 1/2ï 1/2ï 1/2ll learn what St. Gabriel Possenti, to whom she was especially devoted, taught her about the connection between bodily illness and spiritual healing. Moreover, St. Gemma will teach you:
St. Gemma was a laywoman who lived near Lucca, Italy. She yearned to be a Passionist nun, but her poor health prevented this. Instead, she was mystically espoused to Jesus and faithfully lived out the Passionist spirituality.
