We live hectic lives in a chaotic world. All this can lead to confusion that fogs the mind,unsettles the soul, and leads to poor decisions. Amidst such chaos and confusion, our soulsyearn for peace and clarity. We long to hear God¿s voice with greater clarity.God wants to put things in order. He wants to rearrange our priorities. If we let him, we will behappier than we ever thought possible in this lifetime, and finally then we will come to knowthe peace for which we all yearn, but so few of us ever find. Our Catholic spirituality isconstantly inviting us to establish the deep roots of order in our lives, and one of the best waysI know to do that is by praying the Rosary.The Rosary works. It¿s a very powerful way to pray. There is just something about it that settlesour hearts and minds. It puts everything in perspective and allows us to see things as they reallyare. It reaches deep down into our souls and puts us at ease, creating a peace that is rare andbeautiful. When I pray the Rosary, I am a better person. It makes me a better son, brother, husband,father, employer, neighbor, citizen, and a better member of the human family. It teaches me toslow down, calm down, let go, surrender, and listen. The Rosary teaches me how to simply be; and that is not a small or insignificant lesson. It is the perfect prayer for busy people in a busy,noisy, confused world.But don¿t take my word for it. Try it for yourself. Develop a habit of praying the Rosary.The Rosary will focus you. It will calm your heart, mind, and spirit, so you can hear the voice ofGod. It will open the eyes of your heart so that you can recognize him at work in your life. It willlead you to make better decisions, become a better listener, get clear about what matters mostand what matters least, and fill your life with peace and order. Discover for yourself thetreasures of this powerful, ancient prayer.

Torn to Heal by Mike Leake Pdf

God is radically dedicated to our ongoing growth in spiritual maturity and holiness. This is both glorious and terrifying. It is glorious because the Lord of heaven and earth is for us. But it is terrifying because we are idolaters. This means that when God brings greater redemption into our lives he also brings a death sentence to our fallen desires. In love, God will do whatever it takes - even tearing us to shreds if necessary - to replace our feeble pleasures with lasting desire for himself. Sadly, in our culture two false responses to suffering have become deeply embedded in the Church: deadly dualism and shallow stoicism. Each can effectively hijack God's good purpose in suffering. Torn to Heal equips us to understand and reject these false and self-defeating approaches to suffering, and to embrace God's good purpose in our trials.

Mary and the Fathers of the Church by Luigi Gambero Pdf

Father Luigi Gambero, internationally-known expert on early Christianity, presents a comprehensive survey of the development of Marian doctrine and devotion during the first eight centuries. Focusing on the lives and works of over thirty of the most famous Church Fathers and early Christian writers, Fr. Gambero has produced a clear and readable summary of the richness of the patristic age's theological and devotional approach to the Mother of God. The book contains numerous citations from the works of those men who developed the defining Christological and Mariological positions that have constituted the foundational doctrinal teaching of the Church. Each chapter concludes with an extended reading from the works of the patristic authors. A number of these texts have never before been published in English. The thought of the Fathers and early Christian writers continues to fascinate readers today. Their theological acuity and spiritual depth led them faithfully into the mysteries of Sacred Scripture. Their vast experience made them reliable and trustworthy witnesses to the faith of the people of God.

The Catholic Church and Conversion by G. K. Chesterton Pdf

2022 Reprint of the 1926 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This book deals with a conversion to Catholicism from Protestantism. Naturally, Chesterton owns conversion is the source of much of his knowledge. He traces how he came to question his Protestant convictions and his discovery of the Catholic faith. For Chesterton, two essentials lay at the heart of conversion, and without these, a man misses the point of it all. He describes these in his own words: "One is that he believes it to be solid objective truth, which is true whether he likes it or not; and the other is that he seeks liberation from his sins." That is why Chesterton became a Catholic, and what he describes in his unique and colorful way in this book.
