The Catholic Mass Explained - Archbishop Fulton Sheen
In this lesson Archbishop Fulton Sheen is going to describe the Mass in terms of three of its principal parts: the offertory, the consecration and the communion.
A great American patriot once said that he regretted he had only one life to give for his country, he meant that his love was greater than his sacrifice, if his life could be given only once in time and therefore could not be repeated. It is very different with the life of our Lord, where the life was given once and it is eternally given and it is eternally and repeated in the sacrifice of the mass...

The Life of Mary As Seen By the Mystics - Raphael Brown - Audiobook
The Life of Mary As Seen By the Mystics by Raphael Brown (Author): is a masterpiece that combines the visions of four great Catholic mystics into one coherent story on the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Based primarily on the famous revelations of Ven. Anne Catherine Emmerich and Ven. Mary of Agreda, it also includes many episodes described in the writings of St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Elizabeth of Schenau. To read this book, therefore, is to share in the magnificent visions granted to four of the most priviledged souls in the history of the Church.
In complete harmony with the Gospel story, this book reads like a masterfully written novel. It includes such fascinating details as the birth and infancy of Mary, her espousal to St. Joseph and her Assumption into Heaven where she was crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth.
'So great a love on the part of Mary deserves our gratitude, and that gratitude should be shown by at least meditating upon and pitying her in her sorrow. But she complained to Saint Bridget that very few did so, and that the greater part of the world lived in forgetfulness of them: "I look around at all who are on earth, to see if by chance there are any who pity me, and meditate upon my sorrows; and I find that there are very few. Therefore, my daughter, though I am forgotten by many, at least do thou not forget me; consider my anguish, and imitate, as far as thou canst, my grief."' -St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori.
For young and old alike, The Life of Mary As Seen by the Mystics will forever impress the reader with an inspiring and truly unforgettable understanding of the otherwise unknown facts concerning Mary and the Holy Family.

True Devotion to Mary - Saint Louis de Montfort - Audiobook
Listen to audio book "True Devotion to Mary" of San Louis de Montfort, a classic book of the Catholic Mariology.
Written in 1712, the manuscript remained practically unknown for more than a century, when it was discovered by chance in 1842, at the Motherhouse of the Missionaries of the Company of Mary at St. Laurent-sur-Sèvre, France. Published in 1843, the work became an instant success. It was first translated into English by Father William Faber. The book complements de Montfort's other works the Secret of the Rosary and the Secret of Mary.
True Devotion to Mary attracted attention in the 20th century when in an address to the Montfort Fathers, Pope John Paul II said that reading this book had been a "decisive turning point" in his life. According to his Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae he borrowed his apostolic motto Totus Tuus from the book. In his 1987 encyclopedia, Redemptoris Mater the Pope cited Saint Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort as a teacher of Marian spirituality.

INTRODUCTION OF SAINT LOUIS MARY DE MONTFORT
1. It was through the Blessed Virgin Mary that Jesus came into the world, and it is also through her that he must reign in the world.
2. Because Mary remained hidden during her life she is called by the Holy Spirit and the Church "Alma Mater", Mother hidden and unknown. So great was her humility that she desired nothing more upon earth than to remain unknown to herself and to others, and to be known only to God.
3. In answer to her prayers to remain hidden, poor and lowly, God was pleased to conceal her from nearly every other human creature in her conception, her birth, her life, her mysteries, her resurrection and assumption. Her own parents did not really know her; and the angels would often ask one another, "Who can she possibly be?", for God had hidden her from them, or if he did reveal anything to them, it was nothing compared with what he withheld...

Bring Family and Friends back into the Catholic Church - Patrick Madrid
Patrick Madrid speaks on How do we help people to overcome the different things in life that have blocked them from either stay close to Jesus and the Church or ever find him at all?
1 Peter 3:15-16 but in your hearts reverence Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence; (16) and keep your conscience clear, so that, when you are abused, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.

What it means to be a Disciple - Peter Herbeck

Exploring The Suffering Servant - Jill Maria Murdy
Jill Maria Murdy talks about "Exploring The Suffering Servant", meeting Jesus as portrayed in the prophet Isaiah. A presentation on the Suffering Servant Songs of Isaiah as presented in Isaiah 40-60. Presented by Jill Maria Murdy on March 19, 2014. Saint Frances Cabrini Parish West Bend WI.
Isaiah 53:2-7 For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or comeliness that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. (3) He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (4) Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. (5) But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed. (6) All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. (7) He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.

Evangelizing is the Grace and Vocation to the Church - Peter Herbeck
In Evangelii Nuntiandi, Pope Paul VI said, "Evangelizing is in fact the grace and vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity. She exists in order to evangelize." The aim of this session is to help evangelization become a part of your identity through understanding what the Church says about evangelization, why evangelization is so important, and how to live out this identity on campus.
Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. (19) Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (20) teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."

(43) And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? (44) For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy. (45) And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."
