The Beatitudes are “the hope and prayer and vision of Jesus, the blueprint for Christian discipleship, the job description of every Christian,” says John Dear, whose stirring meditations are a call to action, a summons to take up the Beatitudes as a daily handbook for life.
An internationally known voice for peace and nonviolence, Dear combines scriptural wisdom with practical advice from peacemakers like Gandhi (who regularly read the Beatitudes), Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, and many more, all set against vivid descriptions of peace and efforts in places like Afghanistan, Israel, and Los Alamos, New Mexico. In each chapter, Dear affirms that the God of peace is alive and at work among us, calling his sons and daughters into the fullness of a life of true, lasting peace.
Mary was unique and extraordinary. At the same time, she was amazingly down-to-earth. This booklet celebrates that simple and very human side of Mary, a woman who was also one of us. This beautiful new booklet from popular author Sr. Melannie Svoboda is an inspiring resource for all parishioners who need a bit of hope and encouragement in their daily lives.
By summoning the faith of father Abraham and mother Sarah, God’s people anticipated the future when their descendants would be as numerous as the stars. The Bible doesn’t idealize Israel’s ancestors; it portrays Abraham and Sarah as real people, with conflicting emotions and fallible understanding. The loyal legacy of Abraham and the numberless offspring of Sarah have enabled people for thousands of years to trust in God’s faithfulness and know that the Lord will prosper their future. As sons and daughters of Abraham and Sarah, we too can step into the unknown, trusting God to deliver on God’s promises.
Wouldn’t it be great to live without that anxious pit in our stomachs; to have a sense of peace and safety instead of feeling like there is always more we must do, more people to please, more arenas where we must prove ourselves? The good news is that even now we can come to a place of deeper peace and greater freedom. In this much-needed book, beloved pastor and author Father Joe Kempf assures us that we too are worthy of that peace and that we are indeed good enough just as we are.
In The Whole in Our Soul, S. James Meyer offers a path forward, bringing the teachings of Jesus into our broken modern world so we can apply them to our messy, beautiful lives. The key is reconciliation: with ourselves, with each other, with creation, with God, with everything. As Meyer puts it, reconciliation is the “on-ramp to wholeness.” Through story and reflection—and, of course, humor—he shows us how we, too, can be healed and whole in our soul by following the loving way of Jesus.
The book thoughtfully explores what we believe, how we pray, how we live our lives, and how we organize our pastoral work in light of this new vision. In this way of being, our lives—a pilgrimage “to the heart of Holy Mystery,” as Huebsch says—become a shared journey of discipleship, where faith grows in the most ordinary circumstances. As pilgrims of faith speaking the language of love and hope, we are nourished at this life-giving feast of encounter with God, creation, and each other. Pastoral leaders and adult education reading groups, as well as all Catholics, will find here rich insights for the faith journey!
Pope Leo XIV has emerged as a powerful voice for unity and compassion in our Church and world. These reflections, pondering questions and prayers reveal to us the heart of his message: dialogue is the path to unity, love is the foundation and guiding principle of all we are and peace is a daily calling.
Moving beyond the traditional classroom model, author Dierdre Nemeth presents theological reasonings and practical advice on incorporating a new approach to faith formation that appeals to and engages the entire family. This innovative program in this book is divided into three components: Catholic spiritual pillars like praying the Rosary and Eucharistic Adoration, family faith sessions, and Mass-centered age level classes for children, with learning opportunities for parents.
Thomas doubted. Peter denied. James and John jockeyed for status. Nathanael questioned whether anything good could come out of Nazareth. The apostles—icons of faith, pillars of the Church—were ordinary men with extraordinary flaws. And yet, Jesus took them as they were and led them to change the world.
This powerful book offers a fresh and deeply personal look at the twelve. Through Scripture and sacred tradition, 12 Unforgettable Men of the Gospels uncovers their unique strengths, moments of weakness, and the courageous faith that transformed them into saints.
Each chapter brings what we know about their stories to life, exploring what made them remarkable and how their gifts still resonate today.
With engaging reflections, thought-provoking discussion questions, and insights into modern saints who lived similar virtues, this book is perfect for personal reflection or group study.

In Jubilee 2025, Pope Francis has invited the Church to embark as “Pilgrims of Hope.” This motto for the Jubilee invites every person to make a pilgrimage this year. Some will make physical pilgrimages, but most people will make spiritual ones.

Every year, as tradition dictates, Pope Francis visits the Spanish Steps in Rome to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. On each occasion, he has offered a special prayer to Mary, expressing his devotion and trust in her.
This collection of Pope Francis’s prayers to Mary from the Spanish Steps invites us to rekindle our own devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and to place our faith in her intercession.
Amid all the stresses, concerns, and fears that affect us today, Pope Francis has spoken widely and often about the virtue of hope, the virtue that helps to ground faith and leads to love. The secret, he says, is realizing that hope is already within us. All we need to do is ask God to strengthen hope in us, and we can share that hope
with others.
The thirty reflections in this special Jubilee Year of Hope booklet highlight Pope Francis’ words on hope—how to find it, how to nurture it, how to give it to others. Each reflection contains a question to ponder and a short prayer to spur your own deeper conversation with God.
Where do you find hope in the world today? In this inspiring book, a dozen Catholic writers from different walks of life reflect on where they find hope in their work and in their lives, despite the many challenges and crises that surround us.
As we embrace the Jubilee Year 2025, whose theme is "Pilgrims of Hope," we can all join in this pilgrimage and look for signs of hope, which "does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us" (Romans 5:5).
