What do a bishop from Alexandria and a monk in Damascus have in common? Everything—if you care about the foundations of Christian thought. Orthodox Foundations is two books in one—a compelling beginner’s guide to Cyril of Alexandria and John of Damascus, two towering figures who didn’t just defend Christian doctrine—they forged it in fire. They lived in different centuries. Faced different threats. Wrote in different styles. But both stood at the front lines of the Church’s greatest battles. They argued for truth when compromise was easier. They shaped ideas that still define ...

In the teachings of Christ, we are warned, "No one can serve two masters... You cannot serve both God and money" (Matthew 6:24), emphasizing the spiritual danger of greed. Yet, the Bible also compels us to provide for our families, declaring in 1 Timothy 5:8 that failing to do so is a denial of faith. This duality of financial stewardship—balancing material responsibility with spiritual integrity—is at the heart of "Prayers for Financial Miracles." Throughout history, many saints have navigated their own financial hardships, turning their trials into testaments of faith.

Parmi les grandes figures du moyen âge, il en est peu dont létude soit plus propre que celle de saint Bernard à dissiper certains préjugés chers à lesprit moderne. Quy a-t-il, en effet, de plus déconcertant pour celui-ci que de voir un pur contemplatif, qui a toujours voulu être et demeurer tel, appelé à jouer un rôle prépondérant dans la conduite des affaires de lÉglise et de lÉtat, et réussissant souvent là où avait échoué toute la prudence des politiques et des diplomates de profession?

For centuries, Psalm 91 has stood as a towering beacon of hope and protection for those walking the path of faith. Saints such as Saint Teresa of Avila, Saint Francis de Sales, and countless others have found solace and strength within its verses. This Psalm, often referred to as the "Prayer of Protection," resonates with the promise of divine safeguarding and deliverance from all forms of evil. Its timeless appeal lies in the profound assurance it offers that those who dwell in the presence of the Most High are sheltered under His omnipotent shadow.

Was Peter ever the first pope—or is that belief a historical and biblical invention?

We took every opportunity to return to the roots of our Faith - the Holy Eucharist, Mother Mary, the Saints, the Angels, and the Martyrs, making Journeys of Faith to Europe, the Holy Land, Mexico, and Canada.

La Madre Teresa fue una de las mujeres más admiradas del siglo XX y su memoria continúa inspirando a muchos alrededor del mundo, pues incluso una santa puede amar los chocolates, hacer bromas o regañar al presidente de los Estados Unidos. Esta fue la mujer a la que Jim Towey conoció a mediados de los noventa — cuando era congresista y abogado de alto nivel—, la que iluminó el vacío que había en su vida. Durante más de una década, Towey viajó frecuentemente con ella, gestionó encuentros con políticos y donantes de Estados Unidos, y manejó muchos de sus asuntos legales y personales.

We have often said that in times of crisis, God sends us miracles of the eucharist, apparitions of our lady, angelic intercessions and saints and other powerful men and women in our church. This account is about one of those powerful men, a true hero in our Church, Charles Cardinal Borromeo, defender of the faith of the 16th century. He was one of God's soldiers along with Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, Philip Neri and Pope St. Pius V, who went to battle against Luther, Calvin and all the betrayers of the Church; and became heroes of the Counter-Reformation.

If a list were made of the greatest human beings who have ever lived, those reflected upon in this four-volume series would be at the top of that list. Though historians often attempt to judge greatness from their own subjective perspective, there must be an objective criteria by which human greatness is judged. The only Person Who is capable of establishing that criteria is God. The criteria that God has established are the virtues, as identified by Jesus and revealed by Him through the holy Gospels. The goal of this four-volume series is to present each saint found on the Catholic ...
