Lenten Catalogue 2025
Saint John Paul II exhorts us,
Dear brothers and sisters, I invite you during this Lent to meditate upon the word of life which Christ left to his Church in order to enlighten the journey of each of her members. Recognize the voice of Jesus who speaks to you, especially during this Lenten season, in the Gospel, in the liturgical celebrations, in the exhortations of your pastors. Listen to the voice of Jesus who, tired and thirsty, says to the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well: “Give me a drink” (Jn 4:7). Look upon Jesus nailed to the Cross, dying, and listen to his faint voice: “I thirst” (Jn 19:28). Today, Christ repeats his request and relives the torments of his Passion in the poorest of our brothers and sisters.
It is our sincere prayer that amongst these carefully selected items, you will find something that will be of use to you during your Lenten journey this year, and we give thanks for the support your purchase will provide to our brothers and sisters who benefit from the work of Aid to the Church in Need.

Didache RSV Bible Hardcover
The Didache Bible uses a most precise literal translation of Sacred Scripture (RSV) whilst presenting at the same time, a comprehensive and trustworthy commentary for each book of the Holy Bible. This commentary is drawn from the Fathers of the Church, papal encyclicals, and quite uniquely, the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC). In this latter regard and so very helpfully, links to the CCC can be found on each page of the Sacred text. The Didache Bible also includes numerous apologetical inserts throughout the body of Scripture to assist the reader in understanding the Church’s teachings on numerous issues ranging from the Church's teaching on Purgatory to contemporary issues such as contraception. The publishers of The Didache Bible, Midwest Theological Forum, set out to fill a need for a Catholic edition of Sacred Scripture with explanatory and apologetical commentaries based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The publication of the Didache Bible, based on these principles, fulfills the desire of Pope St. John Paul II as expressed in his Apostolic Constitution Fidei Depositum: The Catechism of the Catholic Church . . . is a statement of the Church’s faith and of catholic doctrine, attested to or illumined by Sacred Scripture, the Apostolic Tradition and the Church’s Magisterium. I declare it to be a sure norm for teaching the faith. (no. IV) The Didache Bible is a valuable resource for teachers, catechists, high school students and those participating in Scripture studies. In short, it is ideal for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith and where it remains most accessible by all Catholics despite its high level of scriptural scholarship. The Didache Bible includes: 27 full-colour biblical maps including the journeys of Christ throughout Judea and the travels of St Paul as found in Acts and in his Letters; more than 100 apologetical explanations that help to answer common questions about the faith; and a comprehensive 43-page glossary and a topical index.

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.
