	Novena To The Holy Ghost Price: $3.95 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION Fr. M. Mischler, S.J. STK# 8152 What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear "Holy Ghost"? If it's a bird, there's a small problem. We suspect that 99% of even dedicated Catholics have this same dilemma. Thus we are offering a small book as the solution. This is a Novena booklet unlike any other. Once again, we must return to the motto of the French Seminary in Rome that was so often on the lips of Archbishop Lefebvre and his mentor, Fr. LeFloch: "pietas cum doctrina, doctrina cum pietate" - "piety with doctrine, doctrine with piety." Novena books are usually heavy on piety and pretty short on doctrine, yet, as St. Thomas tells us, "you cannot love what you do not know." How can you love the Holy Ghost and communicate in prayer with Him, if you do not first know Him? If knowing the Holy Ghost puts feathers in your mind, you don't know Him...unfortunately, that's most of us. This little twenty-four page treasure, like all Novenas, covers a period of daily prayer for nine days: 1) The Holy Ghost 2) Fear 3) Piety 4) Fortitude 5) Knowledge 6) Understanding 7) Counsel 8) Wisdom 9) Fruits Each day includes a short, scholastic definition of each gift of the Holy Ghost, then a profound meditation which is followed by an intense prayer appropriate to that gift. Lastly, one recites the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, the Act of Consecration to the Holy Ghost and the Prayer for the Seven Gifts. This should ESPECIALLY be in the hand of every confirmand, every sponsor, every parent, teacher, priest and religious. We give gifts at Confirmation in imitation of the Holy Ghost, who gives much greater gifts. What better gift is there than helping the confirmed know and love what he has received from Him? 24 pp, Pocket-size. Durable softcover.

	Religious Vocation: An Unnecessary Mystery Price: $13.50 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION Fr. Richard Butler, O.P. STK# 8401 Religious Vocation - An Unnecessary Mystery The question of discerning a vocation is agonized over by many generous young Catholics today. A solid Thomist, who wrote this book in 1961, Father Butler shows that this type of question shows a totally wrong approach to a religious vocation - an approach that began with misguided theology in the 20th century, which then trickled down to the popular level, confusing both aspirants and spiritual directors. Though Fr. Butler deals primarily with vocations to the religious life, he also gives the classic guidelines on priestly vocations. The author states, based on the tradition of the Church, that religious vocation is not uncommon, rare or extraordinary and that it does not require an introspective search for some special voice or attraction. This book provides welcome, intelligent guidance both for spiritual directors and for those considering the religious life or that of Priesthood! 167pp., softcover.

Booklet includes over 200 original black and white illustrations (one for each bead!) by the late Mr. Michael Buccino. The artist began these drawings to help his children meditate more easily on the Rosary. "I came up with the idea that if they had a book with pictures it might keep their minds on meditating while they were praying and would be better able to concentrate on the Rosary. So I got started working on the Rosary Album, which took me 18 years to put together. The book has brought the rosary to life." There is a picture and scripture verse for each bead. The Litany of Our Lady (with illustrations) is also woven into each mystery. For all ages. 72 pp.
