Featured books
The Church of Mercy by Pope Francis
"A magnificent book, bursting with profound spiritual insights, from a man
who has quickly become one of the greatest spiritual teachers of our time." --James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
In the year since he was elected, Pope Francis’s simple message of mercy, service, and renewal has spread to every
corner of the world. Through his gentle demeanor, selfless actions, and welcoming call for service to others, Pope
Francis has captured the attention of a world longing for an authentic message of hope—we want to hear what he has
to say. Collected from Pope Francis’s speeches, homilies, and papers presented during the first year of his papacy,
The Church of Mercy is the first Vatican-authorized book detailing his vision for the Catholic Church. From how to
be citizens of the world to answering God’s call for evangelization, Pope Francis's deep wisdom reminds us that the
Church must move beyond its own walls and joyfully bring God's mercy wherever suffering, division, or injustice exists.
Named TIME Magazine’s 2013 “Person of the Year,” Pope Francis is helping the Church continue toward an authentic
Christianity that is faithful to the Gospel and resonant with the world’s greatest needs. The Church of Mercy encourages
each of us to ignite the flame within to help share the light of Christ and revitalize the Church.
Lives of the Saints by Alban Butler
Butler's Lives of the Saints is the most revered Catholic book after the Bible, the Missal and The Imitation of Christ. A Saint or two for each day of the calendar. Great for a daily meditation; each life is followed by a "lesson" from the life to help us apply the virtues of the Saint to ourselves. Great for the entire family. Includes famous Saints since Fr. Butler's time; all recounted in the same beautiful, reverent spirit that was his.
