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.

Part 2 turns to the aftermath of the Second Vatican Council and addresses a series of lines of attack on those Catholics attached to the traditional Latin Mass—notably the attempt to link them to clerical abuse. Part 3 addresses one of the most contested issues of our times, sexuality and gender roles, and asks what the Church can still say about them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDr Shaw approaches these explosive topics with seriousness and honesty, leaving behind the point-scoring of social media and partisan journalism while not shying away from unpopular teachings and uncomfortable conclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HutXFx9-y5U\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Os Justi Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40235089821794,"sku":"","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40235089854562,"sku":"","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":40235089887330,"sku":"","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/1353\/5842\/products\/SHAW_theliturgy-webpreview.jpg?v=1677862772"},{"product_id":"reclaiming-our-roman-catholic-birthright","title":"Reclaiming Our Roman Catholic Birthright","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e[This book is published not by Os Justi but by Angelico.

A minority of the faithful continued to hold fast to the traditional rite, which John Paul II and Benedict XVI gradually freed from restrictions. The steady growth of this “traditionalist” movement inevitably prompts questions in the minds of more and more people.

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.

Confusion has never been a feature of Christian morality. While there have always been plenty of topics about which Christians have legitimately disagreed, the Catholic Church has never lost sight of fundamental points of dogma or morality—and one of these is the immorality of taking steps to obstruct the conception of children or to prevent their birth. The advent of the Pill, however, created a blur; so did the oft-repeated lie of overpopulation.

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. This work also looks at the role of law and its various types, and closes with a presentation of the seven sacraments, which, together with prayer, are the chief means of receiving divine grace, growing in it, or recovering it when lost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIdeal for converts, reverts, catechists, teachers, preachers, homeschoolers, and all who are simply looking for a clear guide to Christian morality, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eTo the Praise of His Glory \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eoffers the “bird’s-eye view” that can otherwise be so difficult to obtain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Os Justi Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41973328085090,"sku":"","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":41973328150626,"sku":null,"price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/1353\/5842\/files\/praiseofhisglory.jpg?v=1749138325"},{"product_id":"torches-against-the-abyss","title":"Torches Against the Abyss","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn an age of confusion, one priest lights the way.

Whether taking aim at the cult of the “inner god,” the rise of “recreational Catholicism,” or the eclipse of Thomistic wisdom, these writings are both a battle cry and a balm, awakening slumbering souls and summoning the faithful to heroic fidelity.

However, indecency is just one symptom of the ravaging disease that has made our world a sartorial wasteland. This disease is a hatred of beauty and a glorification of ugliness. It comes in many subtle forms, but its rotten fruits are all around us. The ugliness of our clothing has a devastating effect on our souls. It is time for Catholics to demand something better. In this book, Anna Kalinowska draws on Church teachings, the Catholic philosophical tradition, and fundamental principles of art to diagnose insidious and far-reaching problems with today's fashions. She argues that the quest for normalcy in a world where normal is ugly leads to the loss of souls, and she provides an alternative to the losing strategy that would have us \"just fit in.\" Written for anyone interested in cultivating beauty in everyday life, \u003cem\u003eClothed With Beauty\u003c\/em\u003e provides concrete artistic instruction along with answers to such perplexing questions as:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• What exactly does it take for clothing to be beautiful?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Why are many of today's modest options actually so unattractive?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Can clothing be both modest and beautiful?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Is the quest for beautiful clothing a kind of vanity or waste of time?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• How do we begin a restoration of the art of dress?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat Readers Are Saying\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Miss Kalinowska has stitched together a magnificent standard on beauty in dress that is ready to be raised aloft by its readers.

It is thus fitting to bring Dutilliet’s marvelous catechism to light for our times, even as Huysmans did for his.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpanded with notes that explain unfamiliar terms or point out differences between the Tridentine rite about which this catechism speaks and the twentieth-century modified versions of it, this first-ever English translation of Dutilliet’s text intends to offer the faithful “the enduring enchantment of the admirable year of the Church” and the understanding that “all in her worship is full of meaning; nothing is left to hazard; no detail, however minute, is without purpose.” Reading this catechism is not only a painless way to acquire much learning in a short time, but a haunting reminder of just how much has been lost in the postconciliar Church—and how much we stand to gain by its restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Mauritius; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;\"\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Mauritius; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;\"\u003e“This modestly titled work contains most valuable instruction, for children, for the faithful at large, and even for the clergy.

A bend in his career path brought him into contact for the first time with the traditional Mass. His life, with that of his family, was changed forever. Sonnier began to work within the system to obtain access to the old rite for servicemembers and their families.

Indeed, these chaplains vituperated anyone even remotely interested in any aspect of Catholic tradition and, as Sonnier discovered, worked to undermine the authority of the Catholic Church from within the ranks.

Sonnier to continue serving in an army in which Wicca and voodoo were supported by the 97-percent-Christian military chaplains while the Mass of the Ages was strictly forbidden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eA true story from a dark period, \u003cem\u003eRites and Wrongs \u003c\/em\u003eranges through the world of the Colombian Army, Special Operations, Fort Bragg, NATO, and the Vatican.
