He called for spiritual maturity before greater scientific advancements. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this spiritual masterpiece, Fr. Plus explains every facet of reparation for individual penitents and offers simple, practical ways you can help repair what is falling into ruins in our Church and in our world. You will find inspiring answers to all the key questions about reparation, including:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• What reparation is and why it matters \u003cbr\u003e• Why everyone should make reparation \u003cbr\u003e• How reparation should be made (and what to avoid!) \u003cbr\u003e• Why devotion to the Sacred Heart and the Holy Eucharist are vital to reparation \u003cbr\u003e• Why our Lord wants reparation to be the foundation of Christian living\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFr. Plus’s work is replete with compelling anecdotes that illustrate how developing a spirit of reparation is critical to advancing spiritually. Fr. Plus provides rich insights and examples from our Lady and saints who lived lives of sacrifice, including John the Evangelist, John Vianney, Mary Magdalene, Margaret Mary, and several modern saints. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough a dozen scriptural passages that Fr. Plus unpacks, you will learn the theology behind reparation and how to teach it to others. You will also learn how to develop a spirit of reparation according to the circumstances of your life, how to compensate for the sins of others, and why spiritual direction is advised for discerning the types of reparation most suitable for you. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbove all, you will experience the Call of the King to discover the path that leads to the ultimate goal — joy with the Lord in the afterlife.

At once mystical, scholarly, and deeply personal, this work deserves to be placed alongside the classics of Marian devotion. It is The Secret of the Rosary for a new generation—expanded, clarified, and intensified.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the very first pages, Castillo makes clear that the Rosary is not a sentimental string of beads for the weak but a divine weapon forged by the Queen of Heaven and designed to sanctify, deliver, and transform. With the precision of a scholar and the urgency of a preacher, he traces the Rosary’s roots from Sacred Scripture and the Gospels, through St. Dominic and Bl. Alan de la Roche, to Lourdes, Fatima, and the towering figure of St. John Paul II. Every chapter is saturated with insights from the greatest saints, grounded in tradition, and supported by the lived witness of souls who have been changed by Mary’s intercession.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet what makes this book shine is not just its doctrinal clarity but its deep intimacy. Castillo writes as one who has been saved by the Rosary. He speaks not just to minds but to hearts—to the young who are searching for purpose, to sinners trapped in mortal sin, to heartbroken parents, exhausted priests, and lukewarm souls in need of fire. His voice is bold but fatherly, convicting but compassionate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParticularly illuminating is his teaching on mental prayer—how to truly pray the Rosary, and pray it well, using the method of the saints. He combines Carmelite mysticism with Dominican structure. It is here that mystical theology becomes tangible. Readers are not just invited to recite prayers but to encounter Christ face-to-face through Mary, to gaze into the eyes of Jesus in the mysteries of the Rosary, and to converse with God from the heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith clarity and conviction, Castillo reveals:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•The true goal of the spiritual life and how the Rosary leads you there\u003cbr\u003e•Why the Rosary is not just piety but theological genius and divine power\u003cbr\u003e•The forgotten role of mental prayer and how to do it simply in the Rosary\u003cbr\u003e•The signs of spiritual warfare in your life and the way to use the Rosary to overcome every obstacle\u003cbr\u003e•How to discern what role the Rosary should play in your life\u003cbr\u003e•How to successfully implement the Family Rosary and share it with others\u003cbr\u003e•How to pray with fire, conviction, and constancy—even in dryness and distraction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will pierce you.

Porfiri was struck by these divisions and observes how there exists not Catholic traditionalism today but rather many traditionalisms, often working among them in ‘remarkable tension.’” — Professor Roberto de Mattei, Author, Pius V\u003cbr\u003eIt is no secret that many factions exist in the Church. The challenge, however — and increasingly so — is in determining which are propagating error and which are shedding light. Through historical vignettes and penetrating writings from a range of sources, Aurelio Porfiri, musician and essayist, examines the emergence of traditionalism in the wake of the Second Vatican Council, the debates concerning liturgy that it has engendered, and the Church’s current relationship with the world. Through his sharp-eyed research, relationships, and insights, you will be empowered to discern where the truth lies and how to navigate the stormy waters of modern-day Roman Catholicism.\u003cbr\u003eIn these absorbing pages, well documented but at the same time easily readable, Porfiri evaluates whether the Second Vatican Council is the real cause of the current crisis in the Church. You will discover if our present divisions and schisms originated during the pontificate of Pope Francis or before. Cogently, Porfiri reveals:\u003cbr\u003e• The true intentions of St. John XXIII in convening the Second Vatican Council\u003cbr\u003e• The origins of modernism and its persistent effects in our current crisis\u003cbr\u003e• The impact of more than a dozen influential Catholic theologians and intellectual movements on the present situation of the Church\u003cbr\u003e• The tension between continuity and change, traditionalism and progressivism\u003cbr\u003e• What St. Paul VI said regarding the Church’s role in light of cultural trends \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Whether Benedict XVI’s resignation was an act of courage or neglect\u003cbr\u003eMoreover, Porfiri recounts the turbulence of the 1960s within the Church and within society as a whole, reflecting on the struggle between obedience to the hierarchy and individual convictions, not only among clergy but among popular figures of the time. You will learn about the Church’s response to contemporary political ideologies, such as communism, and her views regarding ecumenism. Additionally, you will learn about priests who spoke out against progressivism and the consequences they faced as a result, as well as what happened to those who promulgated homosexual views.\u003cbr\u003eFar from an ideological diatribe, this work asks the authentic question: Is traditionalism the solution for the crisis of the Church, and if so, how is it properly defined? You will learn details about efforts to defend the use of Latin and preserve traditional liturgy in response to the reforms following the Second Vatican Council, St. John Paul II’s attempts to restore unity, and what the last three pontiffs had to say about traditionalism. Despite the current climate of division, reading this book will give you reasons to fight for the truth in the Church, and the motivation to do so.", "published_at":"2024-06-20T11:25:44", "created_at":"2024-06-20T11:25:44", "vendor":"Sophia Institute Press", "type":"BOOK", "tags":["Subject_Church History","Type_Books"], "price":1895, "price_min":1895, "price_max":1895, "price_varies":false, "compare_at_price":null, "compare_at_price_min":0, "compare_at_price_max":0, "compare_at_price_varies":true, "all_variant_ids":[41570623651907], "variants":[{ "id":41570623651907, "product_id":7236631003203, "product_handle":"the-right-hand-of-the-lord-is", "title":"Default Title", "option1":"Default Title", "option2":null, "option3":null, "sku":"824-0120", "requires_shipping":true, "taxable":true, "featured_image":null,"image_id":null, "available":true, "name":"THE RIGHT HAND OF THE LORD IS - Default Title", "options":["Default Title"], "price":1895, "weight":460, "compare_at_price":null, "inventory_quantity":3, "inventory_management":"shopify", "inventory_policy":"deny", "inventory_in_cart":0, "inventory_remaining":3, "incoming":false, "next_incoming_date":null, "taxable":true, "barcode":null}], "available":true,"images":["\/\/marytowngiftshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/17122671044896-31272-scaled_1.jpg?v=1720192326"],"featured_image":"\/\/marytowngiftshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/17122671044896-31272-scaled_1.jpg?v=1720192326", "options":["Title"], "url":"\/products\/the-right-hand-of-the-lord-is" }

Vincent Miceli, S.J., whose classic book \u003ci\u003eThe Roots of Violence\u003c\/i\u003e breaks open the philosophical roots of violence from a Christian perspective. What is the taproot that is causing the metastasizing delirium for violence we’re seeing today? It is the attack against God. It is hatred of truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe refusal to serve God was the rallying cry Satan used to incite violence and rebellion among the angels as they stood trial in the vestibule of Heaven. Miceli explains that Christ Himself testified that this “father of lies was a murderer from the beginning,” thus making the connection between hatred of truth and lust for violence. Christ warned the Pharisees that men who reject God’s plan for their salvation are destined to imitate Satan’s deeds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these gripping pages, Fr.

Miceli further lays out for you how Nietzsche was the prophet who foresaw and foretold the coming of the beast of violence. Indeed, he heralded its greatest commandment, whose faithful practice would create a society of savages. “The time has come,” he wrote, “to oppose morality with immorality, to call what priests call good, evil, and what they call evil, good. The time has come for the transvaluation of all values.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing from shocking examples of violence from biblical to recent times, Fr.
