Now Dan Burke breaks open St. Alphonsus’s eighteenth-century classic for you.

You will discover: The “paralyzing cocktail” we drink when we reject God’s will When good works are displeasing to God (Can you guess?)

He explains three temptations that confront us and how to resist them, along with four practices of uniformity to God’s will and a surefire way to unite your sufferings to Christ’s sufferings.You will acquire tips on what to do during periods of aridity or desolation.

A Cardiologist Examines Jesus: The Stunning Science Behind Eucharistic Miracles

Review"This book presents what I and many other doctors observed and documented-the startling truth that even extremely accurate scientific descriptions of miracles must still be addressed by faith which is never in dispute with reason."Dr. Carlos ParelladaGuatemalan Surgeon that analyzed the miracle in Tixtla, Mexico"This book is a treasure to everyone and shows that science and faith do not contradict but rather point to the presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist."Ray GrijalbaWriter of Eucharistic Miracles movieProduct DescriptionThe Gospels might not be “good enough” for modernity, and science is certainly its god. But neither is an impediment to the one, true God. Indeed, He is using methods of the twenty-first century - His twenty-first century - to show how our Faith can be proven through Eucharistic miracles with clinical scientific precision.In this astounding book, prominent cardiologist and author Dr. Franco Serafini walks us through the extensive medical and scientific research into five Eucharistic miracles, unveiling the stunning testimonies of hematologists, oncologists, neurologists, geneticists, molecular biologists, and more who all concluded the same thing: the five Eucharistic miracles are undeniably authentic.In surprising and fascinating ways, each of these miracles relates to the others: all reveal heart muscle tissue, many reveal a heart that was experiencing extreme suffering, and some reveal a heart still enduring tissue trauma.You’ll learn how the human DNA found in Eucharistic substances was identified, what kept a revered eighth-century relic alive until the twenty-first century, and how the identical blood group recurred in the unique miracles to provide contemporary man with a thrilling statistical fortress. Best of all, you’ll be armed with the scientific data to prove not only that God is still active in the world but that He desires all of us to be in union with Him through His Most Precious Body and Blood.About the AuthorDr. Franco Serafini lives in Bologna, Italy, where he grew up and received his education. He enjoys his work as a cardiologist at a local country hospital, to which he rides his bicycle on most days, weather permitting.In his spare time, Dr. Serafini collects and appraises available clinical evidence about five eucharistic events officially recognized as miraculous by the Catholic Church. In the process, he has made connections with the Polish, Mexican, and Argentinian scientists who were involved in the most recent investigations. He travels around the world to meet these experts along with local eyewitnesses.Since 2018, Dr. Serafini has reinvented himself as a public speaker on eucharistic miracles. He gives talks around Italy, has given multiple radio and television interviews, and has been involved in film and documentary shoots.He and his wife are happily married and have two children.

The Best Argument for God

When the medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas addressed the best arguments against God in his masterwork, the Summa Theologica, he listed only two. The first was the problem of evil: How can God ― who is perfectly good ― exist alongside that which is against Him? His second: Is God really needed to explain the world?In this landmark work, Patrick Flynn presents the best arguments for God while also addressing the strongest objections. This book is destined to become the apologetic gold standard for defending classical theism against atheistic naturalism. Flynn clearly identifies what is at stake and then provides you with cogent, accessible, yet potent defenses to counter those arguments that atheists routinely make to justify their claim that there is no God.Flynn masterfully defines commonly misconstrued terms ― from worldview and intelligibility to scientism, ontology, and metaphysical intuition ― and illustrates them with real-world examples. He explains the Principle of Sufficient Reason and how it is used to support the reality of God. You also will acquire the foundation you need to understand the best philosophical arguments God’s existence.Drawing from insights from philosophers Aristotle and Aquinas to Leibniz and Lonergan, you will find extensive philosophical reasons to accept and explain: Two step-by-step cosmological arguments How phenomena ― like consciousness and moral intuition ― confirm God's existence The fine-tuning of creation (and why God ― and not the multiverse ― is the best explanation of that) Why the assertion that everything can be explained by science is unreasonable Whether God can be falsified … and if that even matters! Whether belief in a necessary being is embracing a “god of the gaps”With sidebar definitions and detailed explanations, Flynn guides you in learning authentic reasons for your belief in God. He evaluates whether it’s simpler to believe in God or not, and he provides numerous arguments from philosophy, science, and plain common sense. Additionally, you will discover how even the traditionally held attributes of God point to His existence.This seminal book turns the tables on and pokes holes in the theory of naturalism. Flynn’s in-depth analysis will give you the tools you need to share your belief in such a way that those who deny God’s existence will have to defend their view. Also featured is an appendix with a dozen additional objections and bulletproof replies for the existence of God.

First Christmas

Tradivox Vol 1: Bonner, Vaux, and Ledesma Volume 1

From the brief "penny" catechisms of the 16th century to our own late 20th-century Catechism, scores of faithful priests, bishops, popes, saints, and even Church Councils have for Catholics young and old published succinct, reliable summaries of our Church's perennial teachings: catechisms. In them, readers have encountered Catholic doctrine presented in refreshingly clear and even elegant language, often accompanied by handsome woodcuts on lovely pages. Now, for the first time ever, dozens of historic catechisms are being unearthed and painstakingly restored. They are being reformatted for publication and presented to you in this gorgeous 20-volume, cross-indexed collection. What's in Volume I: Three shorter catechisms (often called "penny" catechisms) of 16th century England are reproduced in this inaugural volume, including An Honest Godlye Instruction by Bp. Edmund Bonner (1556), A Catechisme of Christian Doctrine by Fr. Laurence Vaux (1567), and The Christian Doctrine

Persecuted from Within

Many Catholics have either left the Church or been scandalized by the errors or immorality rampant in her clergy. We’ve watched aghast as faithful Catholics have been restricted or punished without just cause, while those who confuse, contradict, or undermine the Faith are elevated. In this bold and urgent book, the authors notice an apparent absurdity: those most disciplined by the Church at this time are often least deserving of correction. This protracted state of confusion and injustice, plain for all to see, has shaken the faith of millions.Far from being just another diatribe, these absorbing pages provide a deeply illuminating historical perspective, revealing how this chaotic period in the Church is hardly unprecedented - or unpredicted. Instead, it represents a recurring feature of life in the Church throughout her history and is even a part of the divine plan. With this context, you will be able to make sense of and discover solutions to our present suffering.You will learn: When to obey - and when to disobey - a priest or bishop; how several saints were purified and sanctified by unholy superiors What not to do when responding to the crisis of persecution in the Church How Christ both predicted and prefigured the sufferings of His Church at the hands of wicked prelates Practical ways you can respond and share the truth Achievable means to embolden your faith and remain obedient while correcting error How to talk to non-Catholics about the pandemic of filth and error in the ChurchYou will see how eleven of the greatest Catholics in history - canonized saints all - suffered from undeserved persecution by their superiors and even betrayal by clergy and how this suffering was part of their sanctification, serving as a heroic model for us today. You will contemplate the valor and wisdom of priests from the earliest days of the Church; of laypeople from St. Joan of Arc to St. Thomas More; of religious, such as Sts. Teresa of Ávila, John of the Cross, and Alphonsus Liguori; and of modern-day giants, including St. Padre Pio and Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. As you travel with these remarkable characters across twenty centuries and four continents, you will see the wisdom of the divine plan and be encouraged to defend the Church through this present hour of darkness.Additionally, you will find thorough and orthodox explanations of doctrine concerning Church authority, fraternal correction, and the virtue of obedience, as well as a practical plan to redeem our current shameful chapter in Church history. This book stands as a valuable and heartening resource for pastors, catechists, and those who seek to “counsel the doubtful” and “comfort the afflicted.”
