Do you want to know how to make the Heart of Jesus glad? Then listen to the stories about Tonio Martinez and Andrew de Thaye. They made their lives a song of love for both Jesus and His Blessed Mother, Mary. From their lives you too can learn how to please and love Jesus.

Only a few years ago they were still living with us on this earth. These boys, have left us a golden memory of heroic deeds done for love of God. How glad they were to receive Jesus in Holy Communion! When He sent sufferings, they accepted them with joy. They knew Jesus had said: "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." Yes, these boys in a few short years have attained that goal which sometimes takes grown-ups a whole lifetime to reach. If you do what these boys did, Jesus will also consider you a hero.

Jesus loves little children. He wants them to visit Him and to receive Him in Holy Communion. He said: "Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not. For of such is the kingdom of God." Go then to Jesus, and He will make your heart pure and holy, as is His own. Let Tonio and Andrew show you the way to the loving Heart of Jesus!

Father Leonard Feeney M.I.C.M.
Read by James O’Keefe
Available on Cassette Tape or MP3 CD
The twelve chapters comprising this magnificent work of Father Leonard Feeney were not the fruit of painstaking literary composition, rather they were drawn from the priestly heart of one who preferred to elevate the minds of live audiences. These series of lectures were put into written form by the author at the behest of his more enthusiastic and devoted listeners. Actually they were chosen as the most profound of the weekly Thursday night lectures that Father gave at Saint Benedict Center from 1942-1952. The two most significant, which are in praise of the awesome Mystery of Faith, the Blessed Sacrament, lend the book its Eucharistic title. One would have to have a heart of stone not to be profoundly affected by the deep devotion and wisdom which ring so eloquently from the sacerdotal heart of a theologian consumed with the charity of God as was that of Leonard Feeney. And, too, it was because of his great love of the Hidden Treasure on the altar that Father could speak with such filial devotion to Mary as one sees so beautifully expressed on nearly every page of this divine eulogium. Moreover, if you really want to know and savor the humility of our Emmanuel, plunge into the tangibility of an actual Bethlehem with a real manger, and learn to take God at His word in childlike simplicity (with all that that challenge implies), Bread of Life is a book you will find utterly refreshing.

This audio book is available as an audio CD or as MP3 files on CD The words, spoken or written, of a soul that genuinely loves God have a tone to them which always rings true. Couple this truth with literary genius, deep spiritual discernment and childlike simplicity and you are close to describing Father Leonard Feeney, the author of Fish on Friday.

Available as Audio CD or MP3 files on CD Survival Till Seventeen was written by Leonard Feeney in the heyday of his literary career. Later boycotted and banned, this classic is now back on the bookshelves, and deservedly so. The introduction by S.M.

THE TRUE DEVOTION TO JESUS THROUGH MARY Saint Louis Marie de Montfort Read by James O’Keefe Available on Cassette Tapes or Audio CD or MP3 CD The whole world is filled with her glory, and this is especially true of Christian peoples, who have chosen her as guardian and protectress of kingdoms, provinces, dioceses, and towns. Many cathedrals are consecrated to God in her name. There is no church without an altar dedicated to her, no country or region without at least one of her miraculous images where all kinds of afflictions are cured and all sorts of benefits received. Many are the confraternities and associations honouring her as patron; many are the orders under her name and protection; many are the members of sodalities and religious of all congregations who voice her praises and make known her compassion. There is not a child who does not praise her by lisping a Hail Mary. There is scarcely a sinner, however hardened, who does not possess some spark of confidence in her. The very devils in hell, while fearing her, show her respect. My heart has dictated with special joy all that I have written to show that Mary has been unknown up till now, and that that is one of the reasons why Jesus Christ is not known as he should be. If then, as is certain, the knowledge and the kingdom of Jesus Christ must come into the world, it can only be as a necessary consequence of the knowledge and reign of Mary. She who first gave him to the world will establish his kingdom in the world.

A Book of Light and Consolation - Father Remler

Whether it be due to our own over-indulgences in abusing the varied and sundry goods of this earth, our own seemingly countless transgressions against God’s commandments, or the providentially paternal designs of our Creator and first Benefactor, we will have our lot of suffering in this life. There is no escaping that. The question is how to benefit from it individually unto our everlasting glory and happiness in heaven. Suffering and death are part of our debt due to original sin. Therefore, they are necessary for our good. We must suffer and, in the end, die. But, why such a debt as this? How can its acceptance be for our good? Father Remler provides fifteen reasons why we ought to embrace our trials and tribulations, be they physical or spiritual, for the priceless opportunity that every pain provides us in our vocation to be made conformable to our Savior and King, Jesus Christ. It would be hard to find a book like Father Remler’s that so wonderfully explains the value of penance in the light of the patient and enduring acceptance of the cross. Outside of grace, the author writes, our sins cast no shadow. They are committed in the darkness in which we chose to wallow, a darkness that will drag us into the pit of hell. Stepping out of that darkness, into the light of grace, we can come back to God Who is drawing us to Him through a sincere confession. Once the guilt of our sins has been remitted, however, their effects remain.

This is the shadow that follows us through life, because only if we are in the light of faith, living in hope and charity, can we see truly the sad effects of our sins, our shadow. The higher the light of Christ is in our lives, the more directly we let it shine upon us by our embrace of suffering, the more the shadow of past transgressions is reduced. Our goal, the will of God, is that this shadow disappear altogether. In some sense this is a very practical book, for it has a foolproof game plan that, if followed well, will cut short dramatically our time of purgation in the next life. But, it is much more than that. This magnificent analysis of suffering, as to its cause, its value, and its ultimate effect (i.e., conformity to Christ, the Man of Sorrows) will give us more strength to bear not only our own cross, but to willingly share in the suffering Jesus endured for all men by accepting, as joyful victims, crosses vicariously borne for sinners within our own family, for our wayward friends, for the crimes of our nation, and for those dear to us who are languishing in Purgatory.
