$11.95

Father Dirvin, an authority on Saint Elizabeth, has written this profound spiritual portrait of a multifaceted saint. "This contemplation of a great Christian soul is the result of thirty years of research, study, meditation, writing and lecturing. We shall never know the glorious reaches of her perfection in God, but we can guess at them, at least, through her own unwitting revelations of heroic virtue. It is to authenticate these revelations that I have allowed her to disclose them in her own words, certified by footnotes and citations." - Father Dirvin

by James L. Carney
$14.95

A comprehensive account of what occurred on the outskirts of our nation's capital in 1991-1993 and what may be the most extensive display of weeping statues and accompanying physical phenomena in the Catholic Church. The phenomena included hundreds of statues, crucifixes and even glass images which wept tears and blood before thousands of astonished witnesses. Father James Bruse, a humble parish priest, received stigmata wounds replicating the five crucifixion wounds of Christ. This third edition is doubled in size from previous editions and presents other famous statue weeping episodes, a detailed rebuttal to skeptical challengers, and offers a thoughtful and persuasive analysis as to what it might all mean for the human race in these troubled times. Included are 14 beautiful, full-color photos, mostly "8x10," of weeping Madonnas and Father Bruse's stigmata wounds.

by Sister Marie Celeste

This book focuses on Elizabeth Ann Seton's interior life and on her personal experiences as she herself narrates them in her diaries and letters. Much of the documentation derives from unpublished material in the Vatican Archives. Despite the scholarship of this book, Sister Celeste's thematic handling of the facts and writings about Elizabeth Ann Seton provides a treasure for every reader as she causes Saint Elizabeth to reveal herself.

Sister Marie Celeste is a Mother Seton Sister of Charity of Greensburg Pennsylvania. She holds a Ph.D. (cum laude) from Laval University, Quebec, Canada, in French Language and literature. She also holds certificates from the University of Paris, the University of Madrid and the University of Perugia, Italy. A professor of Modern Languages at Loyola University of Chicago, during the past quarter-century Sister Celeste has received many awards, grants and burses. Her writings have been published in France, Canada and the United States.

"We tend to think of saints as people beyond our reach," Sister Celeste said, "but I found her a beautiful woman to whom we can all relate. She was different from what we'd imagine a saint to be."

by Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton and Regina Bechtle, editor

This book reveals the evolution of a soul from that of a very devout individual to that of a saint. Elizabeth Seton opens her life and soul to the most intensive scrutiny and reveals a metamorphasis to true sanctity. These letters, written with no intention for public evaluation, show how a woman in the early 19th century grows from a rich lady of society to a destitute widow in a foriegn land to a truly great American icon. Elizabeth Seton is a true human with fellings, hurts, dispair, disappointments, and severe trial we can all wish we never face, and she faces it with blind faith and trust. This is a must for anyone who feels they have been abandoned by God and has no where to turn.
