Catholic Family Virtues
"And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age, and grace with God
and men." (Luke 2:52).
| It may feel uncomfortable, but
practicing Catholics are supposed to be different than others
around them. It is a
constant struggle to be in the world but not of the world. Sometimes we forget
why we are here and what we are called to be. We hope these books will help
Catholics see more clearly who they are and how to live the life they must to be
called sons and daughters of Christ. |

Story
of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria Augusta Trapp
|
|
Written by Maria herself, she tells the real story of the Trapp family from
which the movie "The Sound of Music"
was based (see video page). She describes her life in Europe in the first
half but the remainder of the book is devoted to the family's struggle to
establish itself in their new home in America (Vermont) after their escape
from the Nazis. The book is even better than
the movie! Presents a family who truly lived Catholic Culture. She is
a great example for everyone who really loves simple Catholic family life. A
priest was the main thrust behind this family’s singing success. They had to
rely on God’s will for their financial needs and they even home schooled! An
inspiring story the whole family will
enjoy! |

Please Don't Drink the Holy Water
by Susie Lloyd |
|
Homeschooling her kids has left Susie wise beyond her years: she’s learned
why pi is square instead of round, and searched out the best places
to buy a cow’s eyeball for the science fair. “In fact,” she says, “Socrates
had it easy. His students never interrupted him to go to the bathroom or ask
when lunch was.” So come along for a ride in Susie’s full-size van as she
faces the trials of Family Rosary and tangles with snide education experts,
gruff confessors, and relatives who tell her it’s time to wake up and join
the “real world.” But Susie’s already in the Real World: a happy Catholic
family on its way to heaven! |

Young Man's Guide |
|
Counsels, Reflections and Prayers for Catholic
Young Men. Edited by Rev. F.X. Lasance. This classic received the blessing
(as did Catholic Girls Guide) of Pope Pius XI in 1927 when it was first
printed. This is a photographic reproduction of the 1952 edition which has
been out of print for over 40 years. This famous prayerbook contains the
text of the Ordinary of the Mass in Latin and English, Mass Devotions,
Confession Devotions, Daily Prayers, Litanies, Stations of the Cross,
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, and Mysteries of the Rosary. But the
beauty of this exceptional guide for males of all ages, is in the counsel
offered for Catholic men in a hostile world. Provides a correct view of the
social and religious conditions of modern life and the great need to
preserve faith and innocence. This is a spiritual classic which should be in
the hands of youth today for the formation of a holy manhood to strengthen
the Church. A perfect gift for First Holy Communion, Graduation, Birthdays
and all occasions. Imprimatur. Black leather cover with gold imprinted spine |
