St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be sufficient to
cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947
at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our
lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals
' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately
spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters,
films, in a world of immodesty " We at St. Pius X Press are calling
for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic
books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This
book is a photographic reprint of the original. The original has

The Queen who became a Saint
Born in 1045 in Hungary, Margaret was the daughter of an English
Prince, Edward the Exile. She returned to Britain in 1057 when the
childless Edward the Confessor required a successor because her
father and subsequently her brother were considered to be
legitimate heirs to the English throne. In the event the crown went
to Harold Godwinson whose ruin came in 1066 with the Norman
invasion under Duke William. The Norman victory at Hasting and
rapid advance prompted Margaret, her mother and her brother-who had
recently and briefly taken the throne-to flee to Northumberland.
Margaret's mother decided the family's safety lay in returning to
the continent, but a storm at sea drove their vessel ashore in
Scotland where they sought the protection of the king, Malcolm III.
He and Margaret were subsequently married. The Norman domination of
England soon brought about the infamous 'harrying of the north' and
there followed a series of border engagements between the Normans
and Malcolm's Scots motivated principally by Malcolm's support for
Margaret's brother Edgar's territorial claims. These border wars
cost Margaret the lives of her husband and her eldest son who were
both killed at Alnwick in 1093. The queen survived them by just
three days. Margaret was well known for her charitable works to the
extent that in 1250 she was canonised by Pope Innocent IV. This
concise overview of the life of St Margaret, Queen of Scotland, is
available in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket.
