A wonderful book showing how the angels have visited people innumerable times in the past, how they do so today, and would do even more if we asked them. Also, how they prevent accidents, comfort us, help us, and protect us from the devils. Contains many beautiful stories about St. Michael, St. Raphael and St. Gabriel; plus, angel stories from St. Gemma Galgani, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. John Bosco, etc. One of our 3 most popular titles
In this gem, Fr O Sullivan combines many anecdotes and stories to prove that Confession comes from Our Lord Himself, that it gives renewed courage and youthfulness of spirit to the heart and soul, and that by means of weekly confession any sin can be conquered.
"Let's just chuck it all in and go to South America" Lisa said one day. Other people do this I thought, but surely not us? Strap yourself in for a hilarious and rollicking tale of a couple with entirely different ideas on what to do and see, the best way to go about it, and of course how to spend their tight budget. Sampling everything from the steamy wilds of Venezuela, to the freezing peaks of the Andes, from the fury of the Pacific Ocean to the parched Bolivian desert, not to mention a dozen other death-defying experiences along the way. All without much clue of what was happening until it happened. Fear not, I too have read a lot of travel books, so this is guaranteed not to include self-discovery, over descriptiveness and incessant droning about scenery. You'll find some top tips and of course an introduction to all the people we met along the way - The Good, The Bad and the Downright Annoying* *Spoiler - plenty of these.
Very few Catholic writers indeed can touch the minds and hearts of all Catholics-whatever their background -and Fr. Paul O'Sullivan happens to be one of these rare few. In How to Be Happy-How to Be Holy, Fr. O'Sullivan teaches all Christians about prayer: 1) how to pray, 2) how to derive immense benefits from prayer, and 3) how to enjoy the deep consolation of prayer. In the process, he focuses first on the profound meanings of our basic Catholic prayers: The Sign of the Cross, The Our Father, The Hail Mary, The Glory Be, The Apostles' Creed, The Morning Offering, The Confiteor, etc. Next follows a full and beautiful explanation of the Rosary and each of its Mysteries. Then he paints the wonders of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and finally he concludes on the power of ejaculations and the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. The most beautiful aspect of this consoling and moving book-as in fact of all Fr. O'Sullivan's writings-is his frequent use of lovely, short anecdotes from the lives of the Saints. And the principal value of this book is that it proves one need not be a saint to enjoy prayer and to derive great benefits from it. Every Catholic should own and read this charming book, for if ever a book were conceived and written to inspire people to pray, and to show them what great results and consolations are to be derived from prayer, it is Fr. O'Sullivan's How to Be Happy-How to Be Holy.
A beautiful little book \"all about the Holy Ghost, \" including prayers to Him. Shows He really and truly dwells in every soul that is in the state of grace. He aids all Christians without exception, if only we will ask His help. Enlightening and encouraging
