Caterina dettò il "Dialogo della Divina Provvidenza" in volgare ai suoi discepoli Neri Pagliaresi, Stefano Maconi e Barduccio Canigiani nell'autunno del 1378, terminando l'opera il 13 ottobre. Il "Dialogo" è il testamento spirituale di Caterina da Siena, e al di là del tesoro di insegnamenti che contiene, viene anche considerato un capolavoro della letteratura italiana dell'epoca.

Eliseo Battaglia fu sacerdote, insegnante e scrittore. In questo libro, del 1903, parla di San Francesco senza la pignoleria della ricostruzione storica, ma con parole sincere che sgorgano dal suo cuore e che non mancheranno di toccare anche il cuore dei lettori.

Nel "Cammino di Perfezione" Santa Teresa ci accompagna passo per passo, seguendo la preghiera del Padre Nostro, dalla orazione vocale alla orazione mentale. Questa versione del testo si basa sull'edizione dell'Escorial che, nonostante la sua minore diffusione, riporta all'orecchio e ai cuori dei lettori e degli ascoltatori le parole di Santa Teresa di Gesù così come furono scritte nella sua prima intenzione.

Anna Caterina Emmerick è stata una monaca agostiniana tedesca, beata della Chiesa cattolica, e divenuta nota per le sue doti di veggente. La dolorosa Passione del Nostro Signore Gesù Cristo è un resoconto da lei narrato oralmente e trascritto, in cui descrive alcune visioni che ha avuto e riguardanti la passione di Gesù,. Molti episodi narrati non sono presenti nei Vangeli.

Un jour, sur le chemin, Martin de Tours rencontra un pauvre et partagea avec lui son manteau d'officier. Martin est l'un des saints les plus populaires de France. Mais son existence demeure obscure pour beaucoup. Elle ne se résume trop souvent qu'à cet acte sublime de charité. Or saint Martin eut une influence considérable sur nos origines chrétiennes.

"Les Fioretti" (petites fleurs) sont l'ouvrage le plus connu et le plus populaire sur Saint François d'Assise. En effet, comment ne pas être sensible à la poésie de la prédication, aux oiseaux ou à l'émotion du récit sur la Joie parfaite ?

Ce "livre vivant" est un des premiers de la Sainte. Il n'a pas reçu de titre comme tel, en effet, les bibliothécaires de l'Escorial lui en donnèrent un qui nous a été transmis jusqu'à ce jour. De toutes ses œuvres, "La Vida" est la plus longue et Sainte Thérèse se présente à nous comme écrivain. Il s'agit d'un écrit profond, saisissant, d'une révélation authentique de son âme, au point qu'elle-même l'appelle ainsi : mon âme ("Lettre à Luisa de la Cerda", 23 juin 1568, 3 ; V 16, 6 ; V épilogue, 4). Sainte Thérèse a fait dans ce livre un effort systématique - le premier dans l'histoire de la pensée et de la littérature - pour déverser en ces pages la totalité de sa personne, en sorte que les critiques littéraires le considèrent comme le livre le plus personnel de toute la littérature espagnole.

Translated by Father Neil Xavier O'Donoghue, St. Patrick: His Confession and Other Works from Catholic Book Publishing gives the listener an excellent perspective on this beloved Saint, making him even more relevant for modern times.

A dazzling and uplifting biography of the great Saint Francis of Assisi who gained the world by giving up worldly goods to be be independent of all. Less is more at the highest level.

In My Badass Book of Saints, Johnson shares her experience as a first-generation Cuban-American, educator of at-risk college students, and caregiver for a husband with Lou Gehrig's disease. Through humorous, empowering, and touching portraits of 24 spiritual mentors who inspired her, Johnson describes how their bravery, integrity, selflessness, perseverance, and hope helped her and can help others have courage to reach for a closer connection to God.

In 1975, two centuries after her birth, Pope Paul VI canonized Elizabeth Ann Seton, making her the first saint to be a native-born citizen of the US in the Roman Catholic Church. Hers was an exemplary early American life of struggle, ambition, questioning, and faith, and in this flowing biography, Catherine O'Donnell has given Seton her due.

How will we face the end? On whom does our hope finally depend? What are the last things ever to be remembered? These are the questions examined in this course, whose lectures abound with insight and imagery drawn from the rich patrimony of the Church's wisdom and experience. In this course, Dr. Regis Martin presents a comprehensive overview of the finalities that frame our human story and how our action (or inaction) when faced with the end will determine where we spend eternity.

Anne Catherine Emmerich was born in Germany in 1774. As a child she believed that angels, saints, and the Holy Family visited and talked with her as she worked in the fields. At twenty-four, she had her first mystic vision of the sufferings of Christ, accompanied by stigmata and bleeding as if from the crown of thorns. At twenty-nine, she became an Augustinian nun and continued to have visions and stigmata. In her visions, she recounted scenes from the life of Christ, which she seemed to have witnessed.

Some people have learned how to live. They can handle all that life brings. They are composed. They radiate strength. They are whole, with lives worth emulating, and when they speak people listen. They are, in a word, wise. How did these people get wisdom? And perhaps more importantly, how can we? In his long-awaited first audiobook, Daniel Grothe of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, shows us how to get wisdom for ourselves by examining what the Bible has to say about it and by providing practical steps for acquiring it.

The Golden Arrow tells of both the life of Sister Mary of Saint Peter and her life's work: the devotion, granted to her by Jesus himself, to his Holy Face. Approved by Pope Leo XIII and promoted by St. Therese of Lisieux half a century later, the devotion to the Holy Face may be the single most important devotion of our time that still remains relatively unknown.

We are in the north of Italy, in a little village called Desenzano, east of "Brescia". The quiet little town lies peacefully on picturesque Lake Garda, on the outskirts of the "Lombardy" region. If your eye travels northward on the map, you will see the village of Trent where the Council of "Council of Trent" was held in the 16th century, in 1545, five years after our Saint Angela Merici died. We never know what our actions are going to bring about; but one thing we can be sure: They will either be life-giving or life-ending.
