Book Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio to speak at your Event!
Why Change the Confiteor? The New Mass Translation!
God is on the Move - Are YOU?!

The people of Capernaum didn’t know what hit them. Jesus turned their lives upside down because he was on a mission. Remember the Blues Brothers? They turned lives upside down proclaiming “we’re on a mission from God.” So why do most Christians make no waves? Maybe because they think it’s all about getting themselves, and maybe their kids, to heaven. Not quite enough, says this Sunday’s readings. Check it out!
Merry Candlemas!

Today, February 2, is the Feast of the Presentation of our Lord in the Temple. It’s not just about blessing candles, but being lights to the world. Read the inspiring commentary by an Early Church Father on Jesus’ encounter with Simeon, and download a copy of Simeon’s Canticle, the Nunc Dimittis, to memorize and pray each night—for centuries, it has been part of the Church’s night prayer.

Making the Most out of Lent - CD Lent is not just about giving up junk food – it is about improving your own spiritual nutrition, and sharing the bread of life with a hungry world. In this talk you'll learn about the biblical and historical origins of the season, how we got the idea that Lent is about "giving stuff up," and how we can nourish ourselves spiritually so that we'll be different people when the Easter Alleluias finally sound in our ears this year. |

Catholic Encycolpedia for Children This kid-friendly resource is the ideal read-aloud text for kids in kindergarten through second-grade. It's one that has third- and fourth-graders happily proclaiming, "I can read it myself!" Unlike most encyclopedias, the format is similar to a storybook, with information presented in a topical style rather than alphabetically. Whether they're listening or reading, youngsters will keep an eye out for "Ichthus", the friendly fish who acts as their guide throughout.

How to Listen When God is Speaking - Fr. Pacwa How do we listen to God speak to our hearts, minds, and wills—especially above the noise and stress of the modern world? What is the process of discerning God’s will? Best-selling author and popular EWTN host Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ tackles these and other questions in this comprehensive book on discernment. He says that first we need to believe in God and his moral laws and make a commitment to please him in all that we do. Then we need to pray so that we can experience the peace that can come only from God. |

WIN D3 Elite Vitamin D is essential for human health. Its major function is to maintain healthy blood serum concentrations of calcium and phosphorus by enhancing the absorption of these minerals from the small intestine. WIN D3 Elite™ is a nutritional supplement containing cholecalciferol, the most absorbable form of vitamin D, which helps your body do just that. As we age, our ability to absorb calcium may decrease; therefore, a highly absorbable form of vitamin D, such as the cholecalciferol found in WIN D3 Elite™, plays an important role in calcium homeostasis, and thus supports bone and muscle function, health and strength. |

Vatican II: The Real Story 2 CD Set on the Second Vatican Council Dr. Marcellino cuts through the confusion and explains what the Second Vatican Council actually taught. Some in the Catholic Church love Vatican II because they think it finally brought the Catholic Church out of the dark ages. Some suspect the Second Vatican Council because they fear it sold out faithfulness to the truth in favor of current opinion. But what was the Second Vatican Council really after? What did the 16 documents of the Council really teach? Entertaining. Fascinating. Energizing. When you’re done with these CDs, you’ll have a clearer picture not only of Vatican II but of where the Catholic Church has come from and where it is going in the first years of the new millennium. |
