In undertaking to supply a practical exemplification of the way in which the meaning and reality of such grace can be brought home even to children, Father Matthew has undertaken a most useful piece of work. Father Matthew's skill as a catechist is born of his native ability and the loving devotion he has given to many years of experience in instructing children in the truths of their religion. The time and care he has lavished on this little book are immediately evident, and reflect his own love of God, his affection for the children he serves, and his devotion to the great work of the catechist. What characterizes this book is the profuse but clear and apt use of many of the illustrations found in Holy Scripture to explain the significance and effectiveness of sanctifying grace, and the ingenious comparisons he has worked out to imprint these things indelibly on the mind. This book is a real treasure that will never be forgotten by those who read it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Os Justi Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40099836002402,"sku":"","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/1353\/5842\/products\/IMG_5045_jpg.jpg?v=1665629727"},{"product_id":"sacred-signs","title":"Sacred Signs","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note that as we are still waiting for our supply of hardcovers, any hardcovers of this title will ship 2-3 weeks later than the paperbacks. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll worship is, in the first\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eplace, an act of justice in which the creature renders\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto the Creator that which is due Him.

Yet for many decades, the teaching and study of Scripture in academic settings within the Catholic Church has served more to undermine faith than to nourish it. This disastrous situation has arisen through a forgetfulness or rejection of the principles that should guide exegesis. In particular, many renowned scholars whose works have dominated the Catholic landscape sought to erect exegesis into an autonomous discipline, separated from both the teachings of the Church and from speculative theology. To shield themselves from such a secularized exegesis, and in response to the wider assault on orthodoxy within the Church, some Catholics have taken refuge with the magisterium, yet in a way that can obscure the fact that popes and bishops themselves must remain subject to the word of God. In this brief but profound primer, Fr Thomas Crean OP sets forth principles fundamental to all exegesis—in particular, the plenary inspiration and inerrancy of the sacred books—and responds to modern attempts to limit these two properties of Holy Writ. He discusses disputed questions about the nature of inspiration, literary genres, the plurality of senses, and the sufficiency of Scripture, and explains the enduring importance of the Septuagint and the Vulgate. \u003cem\u003eLetters from that City\u003c\/em\u003e will be of use especially to seminarians and other students of theology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFr Thomas Crean\u003c\/strong\u003e is an English Dominican.

This teaching is founded upon her understanding of the human person within God’s gracious plan of salvation. Created by God in His image and likeness, man has an immortal, immaterial soul, an intellect and will for freely apprehending and choosing the good, and an innate desire to seek happiness as his ultimate good and final end. Though wounded by original sin and our own personal sin, by divine grace we can live as true disciples of Jesus Christ and, through virtuous living, obtain some measure of happiness in this life and eternal bliss in the life to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn order to understand the moral universe in which we live, it is necessary to grasp what freedom really consists in and how it matures to its full stature through the virtues, particularly the mighty seven—faith, hope, charity, prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. One must also examine the contrary vices in order to recognize and avoid them. This book’s specific descriptions of venial and grave sins in various spheres of life will be welcome to those looking to form their consciences rightly, without veering into either laxity or scrupulosity. The “template” of the Beatitudes, most perfectly lived by Jesus Christ, and the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit, guide the Christian through the tempest of this world along the secure path of salvation.

Gerald Ellard's \u003cem\u003eChristian Life and Worship\u003c\/em\u003e, originally published in 1933 with a last and expanded edition in 1950, is being republished today for its value as a once-popular and revelatory document of the Liturgical Movement's middle phase, between the original phase inaugurated by Dom Guéranger (who emphasized education in existing, inherited rites) and the radical phase of the postconciliar \"reform\" (which rewrote all of the rites according to modern presuppositions).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the one hand, Fr. Ellard movingly sings the praises of the traditional (Tridentine) sacramental rites as practiced in the Roman Church at the time of the book's composition, drawing on Scripture and the Church Fathers to illuminate their meaning and increase the faithful's fruitful participation. In keeping with the movement's appeal to the Christian imagination, the chapters are adorned with simple but expressive drawings by a well-known artist of the time, Adé de Bethune. The running commentaries on the texts of the Mass and the other sacraments are unquestionably edifying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand, the book is filled with confident historical assumptions and assertions that would, later on, come under intense critical scrutiny and often be refuted by better research-alas, not before they had been enthusiastically adopted in wave after wave of reforms culminating in the creation of new rites in the 1960s, which marked so radical a departure from tradition that even a relatively \"avant garde\" book like Ellard's became practically irrelevant overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChristian Life and Worship\u003c\/em\u003e thus serves as a reminder both of the Liturgical Movement's often noble aims and of the catastrophic effects of reformatory zeal unchecked by profound respect for what is given and received.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Os Justi Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":42244182868066,"sku":null,"price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":42281922265186,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/1353\/5842\/files\/christianlife.jpg?v=1760795223"},{"product_id":"little-liturgical-catechism","title":"Little Liturgical Catechism","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe paperback edition is already in stock; the hardcover will arrive in May.

Nor has the need for education ceased 130 years later, when the traditional rite so beautifully expounded in this catechism has returned to more and more churches.
