Fatima for Today: The Urgent Marian Message of Hope - Fr Andrew Apostoli
Our Lady of Fatima's call to prayer and penance for the salvation of souls and peace in the world is as relevant now as when first delivered to the three Portuguese seers, Jacinta, Francisco and Lucia, in 1917. In this superb and updated book, the late Father Andrew Apostoli carefully analyses the events that took place in Fatima and clears up lingering questions and doubts about their meaning. He also challenges the reader to hear anew the call of Our Lady to prayer and sacrifice, for the world is ever in need of generous hearts willing to make reparation for those in danger of losing their way to God. At the peak of the First World War, Our Lady warned of another worldwide conflict, the rise and spread of Communism, and a terrible persecution of the Church unless people repented of their sins and returned to God. She also requested devotion to her Immaculate Heart and a special consecration of Russia. Much of what Our Lady of Fatima said was revealed soon after her appearances, but the third and final secret, which was not a message but a prophetic vision seen by the children, was not unveiled by the Vatican until 2000. Saint Pope John Paul II, who read the third secret while recovering from the attempt upon his life in 1981, believed the vision signified the sufferings the Church had endured in the twentieth century. Because of the prophetic nature of her messages, Our Lady of Fatima has been the subject of much controversy and speculation. 205 pages About the Author: Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R., a founding member of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, has been teaching and preaching retreats and parish missions for several decades. He is considered one of the world’s foremost experts on the apparitions at Fatima. He is the author of numerous books, including Following Mary to Jesus and Walk Humbly with Your God. Fr. Apostoli is the vice-postulator for the cause of the canonization of Archbishop Fulton Sheen. A frequent host on EWTN, he hosted the TV special “Our Lady of Fatima and the First Saturday Devotion”.

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 it's high level of scriptural scholarship. The Didache Bible includes: 27 full-color 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.
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.
