While teaching ethics is universally applauded, how one goes about it is much more difficult and contested than is often recognized. On Teaching and Learning Christian Ethics addresses what it means to teach and learn ethics through a thorough comparison of two ethicists, Henry Sidgwick and F. D. Maurice. Where Sidgwick understood ethics as developing a method for guiding voluntary action to what is right, Maurice maintained that ethics concerns life as a whole, and that requires placing it within a metaphysical and theological realm in which the good is much more definitive than right.

The Eucharist is God dwelling among us today. And so, today I say to you, with Moses, David, and Joshua... “Consecrate yourself today to the Lord...that He may bestow upon you a blessing this day.”33 Days to Eucharistic Glory is the first guide to Eucharistic Consecration. I believe it is time we consecrated ourselves to Jesus in the Eucharist—it is time for a Eucharistic Consecration.

El propio Jesús le reveló a Santa Gertrudis la mayor una oración, diciéndole que Él liberaría miles de almas del Purgatorio cada vez que se dijera. En esta coronilla se reza 50 veces esa oración, de modo que tu contribución a aliviar el pesar de miles de almas será recompensada con la intercesión de ellas por ti cuando estas alcancen la Gloria de Dios.

When 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 needed to explain the world? 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.

Don Raul Salvucci nel libro Le potenze malefiche. Come operano come si combattono offre un lucido e interessante approfondimento del tema delle potenze malefiche. Attraverso un linguaggio coinvolgente e spiritoso, egli mette in guardia dai pericoli legati all'interesse per maghi, oroscopi e sette, mantenendo un equilibrio che evita il macabro e il terrore, e riesce a trattare un argomento così oscuro con una semplicità, un'ironia e un'efficacia davvero sorprendenti.

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.

In the west the cowboy way is a code of living. It is a mode of determination and perseverance that won't quit until the job is done. It is also a lighthearted way of having fun even through life's ups and downs. The Catholic Cowboy Way takes these same virtues and incorporates them into our walk with Christ. Following Jesus takes grit. By going all in with Him, Jesus teaches us how to fulfill the Father's will with passion and zeal. By learning from our Lord, we can also develop a childlike heart that can find peace and joy in the midst of the craziness of life in the twenty-first century.

Noah was directed by the Lord to make an ark, in which he, his family, and a number of birds and animals, would not be drowned by the flood.

The song by Chey, The Book of Life at the end of the sermon, gives the listener an opportunity to reflect on the sermon.

C’est notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ lui-même qui a raconté cette histoire aux saints ses disciples sur le mont des Oliviers, leur narrant tous les travaux de Joseph et la consommation de ses jours; les saints apôtres conservèrent ce discours et le laissèrent consigné par écrit dans la bibliothèque à Jérusalem.
