	Commentary on the Four Gospels Price: $255.00 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION Cornelius a Lapide STK# 8284 THE GREAT SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY OF FR. CORNELIUS A LAPIDE, S.J. The Holy Gospels According to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, in Four Volumes With this new edition, the full genius of Jesuit Fr. Cornelius a Lapide is available in English for the first time. Over the last 400 years this has been the most complete commentary in use by the Catholic Church, known for successfully combining piety and practicality. His age was that of the Counter Reformation, so Fr. a Lapide included plenty of apologetics. His vast scholarship is equaled, however, by his piety, giving freshness and power to his commentary which lacks in others. He was so known for his zealous holiness that he was buried in a separate place in order to find him more easily when eventually, it was hoped, he would be beatified. He is responsible for receiving St. John Ogilvie (hanged in 1615) into the Church and for administering Extreme Unction to St. John Berchmans. For nearly thirty years I suffer with and for Thee with gladness the continual martyrdom of religious life, the martyrdom of illness, the martyrdom of study and writing. Obtain for me also, I beseech Thee, to crown all, the fourth martyrdom of blood. For Thee I have spent my vital and animal spirits. I will spend my blood, too. This is a line-by-line reading of all the Gospels, applying history and the richness of the Church Fathers, with from a half-page to two pages of commentary for each line. A Catholic powerhouse. It is known to have made converts. • St. Louis de Montfort spoke of Fr. a Lapide's commentary as the basis of his "slavery to Mary" when he wrote: Fr. Cornelius de Lapide, as praiseworthy for his piety as for his profound erudition, having been commissioned by several bishops and theologians to examine this devotion, did so with great thoroughness and deliberation, and praised it in a manner which we might nave expected from his well-known piety; and many other distinguished persons have followed his example? [St. Louis Mary de Montfort in his True Devotion to Mary]. • Used heavily by St. Gaspar Bertoni, founder of the Stigmatine Fathers and Biblical scholar. • Favorite of St. Anthony Mary Claret, great missionary to Cuba, founder of the Claretian Fathers. • Utilized by St. Robert Bellarmine, Doctor of the Church and Patron Saint of Catechists. • Praised by Dom Gueranger, author of The Liturgical Year, who made available to the faithful the treasures of the Missal as had Fr. a Lapide made available the treasures of Scripture. • Preferred by Fr. Denis Fahey, the greatest expositor of the Church's social doctrine in the English language. • An essential library selection of priests for sermon-writing, catechism classes, and convert instructions. • Well within the grasp of laypeople desiring to study the traditional Catholic interpretation of the Gospels. • Understand symbolism, cultural accents, mystical and allegorical meanings, and historical context. Know God in order to love God in order to serve God. • Material for substantive and picturesque meditations for laypeople, especially Third Order members and resolute Ignatian retreatants. • Heirloom look and feel. Indestructible sewn bindings. Red leather, gold-embossed, 6" x 9" hardcover with satin ribbon. • Almost 3,000 pages in four volumes. A Catholic family's greatest Scripture resource. • Never fully translated before • First four of over 30+ volumes to come • Extensive discussion of Greek and Hebrew word meanings 2,900pp. 4 leather-bound hardcover volumes.
	Divine Office Price: $39.75 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION Compiled by Angelus Press STK# 6597 What does it gain a man to have his whole life perfectly organized but to lose his soul? It's so easy to lose sight of God in our busy world. But the Church gave us the answer from the very beginning when she structured her official prayer around a framework of the psalms prayed eight times a day so that within one week, all 150 psalms are said. Here you have the most critical hours of the Divine Office for the layman in the world. Prime is the perfect Morning Prayer, Compline the perfect night prayer, and Sext is for the middle of the day. This is better than private prayer; it's the prayer of the entire Mystical Body because you pray with one heart with the millions of other clerics, religious and laymen around the world who have prayed and are praying these exact same prayers, AND because you adopt the intentions of the psalmist as you pray. When understood correctly (this edition has a short explanation preceding each psalm), these are the intentions for which Holy Mother Church wants us to pray for ourselves, for the Church and for all the members of the Mystical Body of Christ. Our Lord, our Lady, and the Saints prayed these psalms. Includes: •An 11-page Introduction explaining the Divine Office and how to pray it, including guidelines on how to interpret the psalms in a Catholic manner •Table of Contents •The prayers to be said before and after reciting the Divine Office •Melodies in Gregorian notation for those who chant the office in common. •In timeless Latin with parallel English translations. •Beautiful edition with sewn binding •Leatherette cover •Rounded edges •Black text with rubrics in red •Two ribbons Includes everything for the Hours of Sunday Lauds, Prime, Sext, Vespers, and Compline; Prime, Sext, and Compline for each other day of the week. Individually shrink-wrapped. Latin pronunciation guide bookmarker included. 221pp, leatherette sewn hardcover, 2 ribbons.

These include teachings on the Church, the Mass, the Sacraments - especially the Holy Eucharist - Sanctifying Grace, intercessory prayer, Mortal Sin and Venial Sin, Forgiveness, the Will of God, Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and much more. Finally, a brief "application" to daily life is given in each chapter. (Some of these are aimed at youth, yet overall they apply to everyone.)
