We Catholics are blessed with a treasury of beautiful, life giving, Scripturally based, teachings and traditions. 

     The Holy Spirit's gifts help us to spiritually survive, thrive and grow closer to Jesus as we navigate through all of the distractions the world has to offer. This CD is enjoyable, lively and applicable to the daily life of any Catholic Christian. Mr. Kelly has again succeeded in producing a great work of Catholic Evangelization.   

Love, Strength

     Easily overlooked is the serene gift of Jesus, so humbly present in the Holy Eucharist. Precious time can slip away amid life's pressing events. Quiet moments with Jesus in prayer and contemplation transform chaos into tranquility, resentment into love and spiritual infirmity into joyous union with Him. Engaging our hearts with that of Jesus frees our spirits from cumbersome efforts to overcome life's challenges.

   Meditations from The Prisoner of Love by Father Francis X. Lasance assist us in engaging our hearts with that of Jesus. Our spirits, freed from cumbersome attempts to resolve life's issues we turn to the One whose love strengthens us daily. This publication may be difficult to find, but definitely worth the effort. 

     The Prisoner of Love by Father Francis X. Lasance can be purchased @ Amazon.com.

Every Day a Saint

     Saints to Remember, published by Saint Benedict's Center is an unique daily compilation of Saints and their feast days. Easily read by all ages, this little treasure contains often forgotten historical Catholic Traditions. 

     Every day's reading bears food for contemplation as the virtues of canonized Saints and Biblical figures unfold throughout the year. Biblical timeline correlations enrich the reader's appreciation of the holy events in our Liturgical year.  

Suffering

     Because of His infinite love for us, Our Heavenly Father desires us to be happy. We live in a fallen world. Suffering is inevitable. Our beautiful and holy Catholic traditions provide us with supernatural tranquility and miraculous union with Jesus, especially during the worst times in our lives. 

     The lessons shared by Mr. Jeff Cavins in Lighthouse Catholic Media's CD entitled "15 Things to do in the Midst of Suffering" are invaluable for all Christians as we seek to follow God's holy will in all of life's circumstances. Mr. Cavins does a wonderful job of explaining how, through God's holy and perfect love, our most tragic experiences serve to draw us closer to Our Blessed Lord.

Curé of Ars

  Saint Luke Productions live plays are intellectually stimulating and an encouragement to devote more time to the study of the lives of the Saints. We were greatly inspired by the Vianney the dramatic performance of the vocation and life of the Curé of Ars. This presentation about the patron Saint of parish priests enlightened us to the many holy victories won by perseverance in prayer and faithfulness to the sacramental life.

Saint John Bosco Mission to Love

     The Italian actor, Flavio Insinna exhibits his marvellous talent in his heartwarming portrayal of Don Bosco. As the story of this great Saint unfolds, we are drawn into his compassionate efforts to help young boys and men who,m due to dangerous work conditions, frequently risked their very lives trying to support their families. This saint had a tremendous devotion to Our Blessed Mother. Her love inspired him and strengthened him in his Jesus centered mission.

      His work was an example of a holy priest, who fueled by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, courageously lived the Works of Mercy, So moving was the  mutual inspiration he shared with another great saint, during the short life and holy death of young Dominic Savio. "Saint John Bosco Mission to Love", is an excellent, spiritually inspiring Christian work to be shared with family and Confirmation students.
