Illness can make even a faithful Catholic feel tired, afraid, dependent, and alone.

With a gentle Catholic voice, this book offers prayers, Scripture passages, saintly companionship, and sacramental guidance for readers who need comfort without false cheerfulness. It does not pretend that sickness is easy. It helps the reader ...

Joan Didion (December 5, 1934-December 23, 2021), born in Sacramento, California, was an American author, screenwriter, and journalist. Her writing during the 1960s through the late 1970s engaged audiences in the realities of the counterculture of the 1960s, the Hollywood lifestyle, and the history and culture of California.

There is nothing complicated about what you are holding. Three hundred sixty-five mornings, three hundred sixty-five verses, three hundred sixty-five short words meant to be read slowly and carried into an ordinary day. I did not write this to impress anyone with clever insight. I wrote it because I have needed exactly this kind of book more mornings than I can count -- one true verse and one honest word before the noise of the day gets its hands on me first. Every scripture in these pages is quoted from the American Standard Version of 1901, a translation chosen for its faithfulness to the...

What do we learn from St. Joseph? Saint Joseph teaches us virtue, especially practicing patience and silence, which is very hard to do. Saint Joseph is always calm, always peaceful. He is a great model for interior life. He was in a constant state of communion with God, something we should all imitate. His work was his prayer and his prayer was his work. St. Joseph is a powerful patron. He is, as John Paul II called him, the Guardian of the Redeemer. He humbly accepted his role as guardian, husband and father in the Holy Family. Therefore, St. Joseph’s intercession has been sought for ...

Can we consecrate ourselves to Mary? Mary is not the Creator, she is not the Redeemer. She is the opposite of a Goddess; she never substituted herself for God. But it was God's will that Mary had something to do with our Christian life, with our sanctification. It is a role assigned to her by God. In perfect union with her Son and subordinate to him, the Vatican II Council calls her "our mother in the order of grace" (LG 61). Let us not forget that Mary is the prototype of perfect consecration at the beginning of the New Testament. She was chosen to help us in our consecration through her ...

Prayer, repentance, and the hidden life of the heart meet in a classic work of Russian Orthodox spirituality. St. John of Kronstadt wrote My Life in Christ not as a theory of devotion, but as a spiritual journal: brief meditations born from prayer, self-examination, pastoral struggle, Scripture, and the life of the Church. In these pages he speaks directly about faith and doubt, sin and mercy, spiritual watchfulness, humility and pride, the sacraments, the saints, the wounds of the passions, and the nearness of Christ in ordinary life. The result is a book for slow reading. A single ...

This TAN Books edition of St. Michael and the Angels features the complete text of the title, along with a supplemental section entitled Catholic Prayers.

INTRODUCTION At the heart of the Catholic faith lies a deep devotion to the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary, a poignant expression of her motherly love, an inseparable union with the redemptive sacrifice of her Son, Jesus Christ.

This book, "The Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary: Consecration and Family Prayers for Family Union and Blessing," stands as a beacon of devotion and spiritual guidance for all those who wish to deepen their understanding...

You sit down at Mass on Sunday, the lector announces a reading from the Book of Sirach, and a familiar knot tightens in your stomach. You have no idea where Sirach is, what it says, or why it matters. You are not alone. And you are not behind. The Catholic Bible has 73 books spanning thousands of years, dozens of literary genres, and the entire story of God's relationship with humanity. It can feel impossible to know where to start. Most guides either assume you already know the basics or split the help you need across multiple expensive products. This book takes a different approach. ...

There are many Catholics who still believe, still pray, still receive the sacraments—and yet know that their love for God is not as pure, steady, or beautiful as it ought to be. In Mother of Fair Love, readers are invited into a deeper contemplation of the Blessed Virgin Mary under one of her most beautiful and least reflected-upon titles. Drawing on Scripture, Catholic tradition, and the Church’s Marian inheritance, this book explores what “fair love” really means: love that is rightly ordered, grace-filled, faithful, sacrificial, and wholly turned toward God. This is not a general...
