In the west the cowboy way is a code of living. It is a mode of determination and perseverance that won't quit until the job is done. It is also a lighthearted way of having fun even through life's ups and downs. The Catholic Cowboy Way takes these same virtues and incorporates them into our walk with Christ. Following Jesus takes grit. By going all in with Him, Jesus teaches us how to fulfill the Father's will with passion and zeal. By learning from our Lord, we can also develop a childlike heart that can find peace and joy in the midst of the craziness of life in the twenty-first century.

As a thirteen-year alumna of Catholic schools, Sarah Thomas thought she knew all about them: why they exist, how they’re structured, and why they continue to be a powerful presence in American education. What she discovered, however, is that teaching in a Catholic school is, in many ways, not what she had assumed. Saving Minds, Saving Souls: Revitalizing Catholic Education Through Witness is based on Sarah Thomas’s ten-year journey trying to find a teaching position in a Catholic school and her experiences thus far as an educator.

For the majority of Southern Catholics, religion and politics were not a point of tension. Devout Catholics were also devoted Confederates, including nuns who served as nurses; their deep involvement in the Confederate cause as medics confirms the all-encompassing nature of Catholic involvement in the Confederacy, a fact greatly underplayed by scholars of Civil war religion and American Catholicism.

Noah was directed by the Lord to make an ark, in which he, his family, and a number of birds and animals, would not be drowned by the flood. God’s decision to bring a flood upon the earth was deeply influenced by the reality of evil that He saw carried out by the human race. The song by Chey, The Book of Life at the end of the sermon, gives the listener an opportunity to reflect on the sermon.

For a Christian, the way to reach perfection is to strive for holiness. What is true perfection? Christ's words are clear, sublime and disconcerting: "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect." To have God as our model is a dizzying thought! Yet the Church reminds us that, "All the faithful, whatever their condition or state in life, are called by the Lord to that perfect holiness." The Church teaches us that holiness is not the concern of a privileged few, nor does it only pertain to Christians of the past.

Two monumental works on the nature of the modern age by Romano Guardini, one of the most important Catholic figures of the 20th century.

Your life needs the power of forgiveness today more than ever before. We all need to forgive somebody. Who is yours? Just thinking about it may bring up a deep, painful hurt you'd rather ignore. Forgiveness is hard. It takes time. But it's also the ultimate power tool for a brighter future. Why is forgiveness the ultimate power tool? Because it's underrated and underutilized. We too often forget that forgiveness can free us from the hurts of the past. Instead, we tend to hold on to our grudges.

Saul Cross, in his compelling book "Dominic Savio," breathes new life into the tale of this remarkable saint, whose legacy continues to resonate and inspire in our modern world.

Yes, I know that memorizing the Faith is no substitute for living a holy life, but even devout people can't live by truths and precepts they don't remember. That's why, over 700 years ago, St. Thomas Aquinas perfected an easy method for his students to memorize most any information, but especially the truths taught by Christ and His Church. Now thanks to Memorize the Faith!, you can easily keep all these in mind by tapping into the power of the classical memory system that helped St. Thomas become the Church's preeminent theologian.

In The Synodal Pope: The True Story of the Theology and Politics of Pope Francis, Jean-Pierre Moreau traces the history and theological development of Pope Francis from his upbringing in Argentina and formation by the liberationist Jesuits. Moreau, a keen observer of liberation theology, many of whose leading figures he personally met when he was a special correspondent for the Figaro-Magazine in the 1980s, has made a close study of the personal and intellectual itinerary of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, described by his closest supporters as professing the “theology of the people.”

C'è un'ansia di cambiamento nel mondo. Papa Francesco la raccoglie nei suoi gesti e nelle sue parole, specialmente in un tempo di crisi quale quello che stiamo vivendo. È chiaro che abbiamo tutti bisogno di capire che cosa ci sta accadendo, di dare una lettura umana e spirituale di quel che viviamo. Francesco, come si comprende in questo volume, assimila la visione di sant'Ignazio di Loyola così come emerge negli Esercizi Spirituali. E afferma che i "desideri allargano il cuore": è in essi che "si può discernere la voce di Dio" nella storia di oggi.

A growing chorus of economists and politicians is demanding a new paradigm to create a global economy for the common good. In Cathonomics, Anthony M. Annett unites insights in economics with those from theology, philosophy, climate science, and psychology, exposing the failures of neoliberalism while offering us a new model rooted in the wisdom of Catholic social teaching and classical ethical traditions.
