All Things Are Possible

History & Biography

“Mother Cabrini’s truly charming and edifying letters to her Sisters provide what the film “Cabrini” could not depict: the depth of her relationship with Christ, her devotion to his Sacred Heart, her trust in the Blessed Mother, and her burning desire to “save souls.” They reveal why she is in fact a saint. They give the reader access to the spiritual life of an intelligent and cultured woman who was remarkably courageous and enterprising in her missionary vocation, because fully confident in Christ who strengthened her (Philippians 4:13). This book is “spiritual reading” of the best and most challenging kind.”

Contemplative Enigmas

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“A tonic for those who struggle to remain faithful to prayer over the long haul. Its short meditations encourage anyone who experiences times of aridity and weariness. At the same time, they offer a challenge and a summons.”

Exploring the World’s Foundations in Christ

Theology

“McMahon introduces the recently deceased Jesuit's very bold proposal of a thoroughgoing Christ-centered metaphysics that takes divine and human freedom into account and a radically 'covenantal' theology that takes the Eucharist as its starting point. Catholic theologians have much to gain from studying how Keefe applies his original method and system to the discussion of creation in Christ, original sin, nature and grace, Trinity, marriage, bipolar human sexuality, Mariology, authority in the Church, moral theology, and many other topics.”

Saint John of the Cross

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“This introduction will reward even those who have read and reread St. John of the Cross.”

The Contemplative Hunger

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Fr. Haggerty provokes, encourages, and reassures Christians who struggle to remain faithful to prayer when the Lord seems to be silent. This work offers a very fresh, attractive, and compelling challenge, inviting readers to take heart, to expect more, and to give more to the Lord.”

The Hour of Testing

Christian Living

“In his meditations on God’s humility and Jesus’ interior wounds, Fr. Haggerty urges us to cross a new threshold in prayer and offers concrete directions on how to go about this. He presses us to beg Jesus for the grace to share in his Passion as he lives it today in his Church. This is a critical moment, and it demands a new asceticism and a new heroism.”

Why Celibacy?

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Why Celibacy? makes the case that priests do not renounce fatherhood but embrace celibacy as a privileged way of living it: generating life and fulfilling the fatherly responsibilities of providing for, guiding and teaching, and protecting those entrusted to their care.”
