In the depths of every human heart lies a longing for something more—a desire that only God can fulfill. Yet our desires are often disordered, leading us away from rather than toward our Creator. How do we align our deepest yearnings with God's perfect will? In this profound spiritual work, you will discover the Lord’s Prayer as more than a formula of words—it is a divine pathway of transformation, a school that reshapes our desires according to the heart of God. Drawing from the rich insights of Saints Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, this meditation guides readers through each petition...

We all face obstacles that threaten to hold us back. For Robert Paylor, his paralysis wasn’t a metaphor.

The Roman Catholic Church is the largest religious institution in the world with approx. 1.3 billion Catholics world-wide. Although Roman Catholicism seems to be a single unified belief system, not all Catholics believe the same things or act in the same way. Regardless, all Roman Catholics feel connected to their church's traditions and rituals. Unfortunately, the church of Rome does not hold the Bible as the highest authority or teach that salvation comes by faith alone.

Surveys show that the leading cause of Catholics leaving the Church is not receiving solid, timely answers to questions about their Faith. Heightening this problem is a hostile secular culture that perceives faith as being at odds with science and the modern world. In this incisive book, David Bonagura directly answers one hundred hot-button questions about the supernatural life and Catholicism today. The questions, which were submitted anonymously by young adults in New York City, leave no controversial issue unaddressed.

It has been famously pointed out that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, but it was also not an empire in the sense people expect when hearing the term, but it is clear that church clergy occupied a privileged place in medieval society.

Indeed, there was no real consciousness of the Roman Empire ever having ended.

When St. Jane Francis de Chantal encouraged St. Francis de Sales to be a bit angrier over the opposition they were facing in starting their religious order, he replied, "Would you have me lose in a quarter hour what has taken me twenty years' hard work to acquire? St. Francis de Sales had quite a temper when he was young. But over time he learned to convert his angry feelings into virtuous action. He knew that anger never leads to happiness. Worse, it causes tremendous harm to our relationship with God.

We are all called to be saints! This is what we are made for and this is the only way to happiness.

Whether we realize it or not, Catholics have been deeply influenced by modernity's failed worldview.

If we want to bring the life-transforming effects of our faith into the world, we must first find and live real Catholicism, breaking free of the gravitational pull of modernity's worldview.
