"Jerzy Popieluszko - Victim of Communism" |
Grazyna Sikorski |
$4.50 (booklet) |
"As Communism consolidated its victorious grip on Poland in 1947, Jerzy Popieluszko was born into a peasant farming family. Nearly 40 years later as European communism began to crumble, his mutilated body was dumped in the Wisla river. In life and death this young and unassuming priest, courageous beyond his means, lived in his flesh Christ's call to love the enemy, to overcome evil with good. This chilling reminder of modernday totalitarian brutality is surpassed only by the overwhelming hope that the victory of the Truth, Christ Crucified, brings to today's world. This account includes many of his own writings." (from the backcover of the booklet with permission from Catholic Truth Society, London) 71 pages |

Fr. Salvatore Canals |

"The Joyful Ways of the Saints and What They Teach You About Kindness, Humility, Courage, and Love" |
Sister Mary Eleanore, C.S.C. |
$18.15 (paperback) |
"In these pages, Sister Mary Eleanore delightfully dispels the myth that souls who love God have to be sour-faced, holier-than-thou killjoys. Indeed, she gives conclusive proof that true goodness need not be marred by a grim and humorless severity. You'll find here innumerable stories of saints who were kind, wise, courageous, friendly, and joyful - not in legend, but in real life. Even better, Sister shows you by their examples that holiness is not impossible for you to attain, no matter what you've done or left undone." (from the backcover of the book) 111 pages |

"Julian the Apostate - Roman Emperor 361-363" |
Abbot Giuseppe Ricciotti |
$22.35 (paperback) |
"Flavius Claudius Julianus (331-363), known to history as 'Julian the Apostate', is one of the most interesting Roman Emperors (361-363), and his life is one of the most fascinating in all of ancient history... The nephew of Constantine the Great, he succeeded Constantius (337-361 --Constantine's son) as Roman Emperor in 361, but ruled only some 18 months. Yet despite his short life and brief rule, he did many amazing things and his life gives a wonderful picture of the myriad problems faced by the Empire in those years. Well educated in the liberal arts, he later adapted himself quickly to a military career, becoming an able general in Gaul (France), where he pacified the border with Germany, vigorously fighting numerous campaigns. Early in his life he lost the Catholic Faith and reverted to worship of the pagan gods. When he became Emperor, he brought back animal sacrifice and even attempted to rebuild the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. His life and reign ended in a disastrous campaign against the Persians in lower Mesopotamia (modern Iraq and Kuwait), which he had pursued despite numerous 'signs' and 'warnings' against waging this war."
