About this listen
The ways of both grace and sin’s brokenness are predictable, especially in the way they manifest in your history - your story. How can you discern each of these two elements in your life’s story?
Utilize the spiritual affirmations in this book that are inspired by St. Ignatius of Loyola. They are designed to be a tremendous discernment resource for your life. Lifted from St. Ignatius’ Rules for the Discernment of Spirits, learning their wisdom can provide hope and encouragement on your spiritual journey through this life to Christ’s eternal kingdom. You can learn to resist the spiritual assaults and deceptions that move you away from the pathway of light. You can learn to embrace the spiritual graces that move you towards the light. Pay attention to those affirmations that speak to your heart or don’t make any sense at all.
Don’t be shy! Tell the Lord: “this touches my heart - help me to understand why it is important for me in my life.

Story
Each mystery has a five-part introduction after which the traditional prayers are prayed. Since the mysteries are a little longer than versions that only announce the name of the mystery, you may choose to only do two or three at a time. But you will know how best to pray with them. We are very excited to have this resource available to pray with at home, work, on retreats, or anywhere you pray. St. Ignatius, pray for us. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for me!

Story
God is still reaching out to humanity in so many ways: through situations of life, suffering, and happiness. God is an intelligent and caring deity who's just looking for a way to come closer to us. Yet, if we do not return, we will never reach the depths of a rewarding friendship with him. Nothing in heaven or on earth will change our life for better than a close friendship with the Lord.

Story
At the center of The Dark Night of the Soul (La noche oscura del alma) is a poem written by the 16th century Spanish poet and mystic St John of the Cross. Consisting of eight stanzas, each of five lines, the poem outlines the journey in pursuit of divine union, within which the only source of light comes from the soul. This recording in English includes the poem itself and St John's two accompanying treatises (1584-1585), essentially commentaries, which offer line-by-line explanations of the poem. Many modern listeners have found guidance and consolation in this work.

Story
In honor of his canonization, this volume draws together Newman’s Marian writings into an anthology of this new saint’s profound writings on our Lady. Some are doctrinal or apologetic, while others are deeply devotional meditations. These two approaches, not only show two sides of Saint John Henry Newman’s character; they will increase your own love and devotion to our Lady. They illuminate the great depths of Marian doctrine from the Church’s treasury with which Newman has so powerfully permeated his own writings and cause us to go to her for aid.

Story
This classic work from Thomas à Kempis, author of The Imitation of Christ, is now available in English for the first time. It is a simple truth that, without the virtue of humility, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. It simply cannot be done. Just as pride is the root and source of all sin, so is humility, the foundational virtue in which all other virtues must be grounded if they are to bear fruit. Humility is the heartbeat of the saints. It is the virtue that conforms us most closely to Christ.

The Story of a Soul conveys St. Therese of Lisieux's "Little Way" of spiritual childhood - her "elevator" to Heaven, as she called it. This method was approved by Pope Pius XI as a way for all to grow in holiness through unfailing confidence and childlike delight in God's merciful love. Again and again in this audiobook, St. Therese shows us how her "Little Way" of love and trust comes straight from Sacred Scripture.

Living in today's world can be challenging as well as draining. Our fast pace of life, coupled with constant demands to do more, get more, and be more, makes being still and living more deliberately in his presence seem unattainable. But God tells us that, while the cares of the world seem pressing now, we are not alone - we have lasting hope and peace in him.
