Persecuted and Forgotten 2020-2022 Executive Summary A5
More than most people, Christians around the world are persecuted and harassed more than any other faith. Supporting those brothers and sisters is one of the key areas of the work of Aid to the Church in Need. As part of our mission, every two years ACN produces a comprehensive report on the current situation for Christians entitled 'Persecuted and Forgotten'. The 2020-2022 executive summary makes for sobering reading. Priests are killed, the faithful are kidnapped, Christian women are raped and forced to deny their faith, churches are desecrated, and whole communities are forced to flee. The report examines the terrible situation in 24 countries where ACN has found evidence of serious religious freedom violations. Why issue such a report? Because we must break the silence, we must inform ourselves and inform those around us, we have to do all we can to ensure that they are not forgotten.

The Wonders of the Mass TAN Books
The Eucharistic Sacrifice is the bridge between heaven and earth; it is the eternal self-oblation of Our Lord Jesus Christ to the Father, the same sacrifice of the God-Man as on Calvary, applied anew everywhere the Mass is prayed. The Mass unites us with God; it acts as a propitiatory sacrifice and brings God into our midst; it heals our soul and transforms us by God's grace; it offers the only satisfactory thanksgiving possible to give God, for it is God offering Himself to Himself; and far, far more—the wonders of the Mass are literally measureless. Mainstay author Fr. Paul O'Sullivan offers in The Wonders of the Mass an astounding guide to the meaning and reality of the sacred liturgy, quoting the saints and Our Lord (via revelations to mystics). There is no capacity in which Fr. O'Sullivan fails to extol the Mass—for truly, because it is Jesus Himself present in the Sacrament, we may offer the same praise to the Mass as to God. "The Mass is the greatest wonder in the world," says Fr. O'Sullivan, seconded only by "the next greatest wonder. . .the indifference and ignorance of Catholics regarding the Mass." Let The Wonders of the Mass teach you how limitless is the love of God for man in the holy liturgy. Paperback. Author: Fr. Paul O'Sullivan OP. Pages: 43

Devotion to the Sacred Heart TAN Books
'Devotion to the Sacred Heart' is a powerful little booklet filled with many of the treasures to be found in the veneration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Besides containing an explanation of the symbolism found within the Image of the Sacred Heart, it also includes explanations of the 9 First Fridays devotion, known as The Great Promise, the miraculous cure of St. Gemma Galgani as well as many profound exhortations to offer reparation to the Sacred Heart. Authoritative and moving, Our Lord instituted this devotion Himself, saying: " I set neither limit nor measure to My gifts of grace for those who seek them in My heart." In our age of religious indifference, when fervor and charity have grown cold, Jesus exhibits to the world His Sacred Heart as the symbol of God s infinite love showing His Divine Heart as a furnace whose burning rays of love are able to reanimate faith and rekindle love in hearts grown cold and ungrateful. 80 Pages

About The Author: The Benedictine Nuns of Perpetual Adoration are a monastic community with a ministry dedicated to prayer.

Uniformity with God's Will by St Alphonsus de Liguori
Written in 1755, Uniformity with God's Will, is a wonderful little treatise on the true love of God. Saint Alphonsus de Liguori writes to encourage believers to unify their wills with that of God's, so that they may love God perfectly: "the more one unites his will with the divine will, the greater will be his love of God." To choose otherwise, i.e. to choose not to unify one's will with God's, is "a kind of idolatry." These seven short chapters, not simply prone to abstract speculation, explore concretely how to make one's own will uniform with God's through the hardships of this life. Further, the book discusses the fruit of such a union with God's will: happiness. St Alphonsus concludes by noting how, in all things, Christians must remain steadfast in their union with God's will. For in so doing, God will "press us to his heart." Challenging and encouraging, Uniformity with God's Will has the power to remind us of what true love of God really is. 32 pages.

Visits to the Blessed Sacrament and the Blessed Virgin Mary by St. Alphonsus Liguori
After she died, St. Teresa of Avila appeared to one of her nuns and said: "There should be no difference, as far as purity and love are concerned, between the blessed in Heaven and the faithful on earth. Though we are perfectly happy and you are suffering. What the Divine Essence is to us in Heaven, the Blessed Sacrament should be to you on earth". Here, then, says St. Alphonsus, is our heaven on earth - the Most Blessed Sacrament.

God Calling Daily Devotional
Time For God
Are you too busy to pray? What if you could actually gain time and be more productive by praying? Would you pray more? We often forget the real secret to gaining time and being productive is to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness , and all these things shall be yours as well (Mt 6:33). If we make time for God through prayer, He multiplies our time and makes it fruitful and productive in all areas of our life. But have you ever felt unsure about how to pray? For that matter, what exactly is prayer and who is it for? And where, when and how should you pray?
What Is God?
C. Sheeran developed a love of books from a very young age and a firm belief that every child should be introduced to them from infancy. Her work with children, adolescents and adults over many years in different fields such as tutoring, mentoring and psychological counselling made her realize the importance of a child’s intellect, memory and imagination and how it plays an integral part in shaping their subconscious memory and the rest of their life. Although she never planned on writing a children’s book, she hopes that these “puzzle piece tales” will help children in a small way grasp the immense beauty and majesty of the supernatural world that surrounds us and that dwells inside our souls.
