The Man Who Never Died: The Life And Adventures Of St. Peter, The First Pope
Most kids think of popes as old men who live quiet lives in the Vatican. In fact, danger stalks every pope. From John Paul II (who was shot) all the way back to the first pope, the men God places in charge of His Church have been hated and attacked for their goodness for the good the Church does.These pages recount the adventures of St. Peter, the first pope, whose troubles began just days after Jesus returned to Heaven. When Peter preached, baptized three thousand people, and cured a lame man, soldiers threw him in prison. Set free by a judge, Peter preached again, won more converts, and got jailed again... and again. |

Father Brown Of The Church Of RomeThis is a unique collection of ten of Chesterton's famous Father Brown stories which puts special emphasis on the role that Brown's Catholic faith played in helping him solve the murder mysteries. As Dorothy Sayers once wrote, Chesterton was "the first man of our time to introduce the great name of God into a detective story ... to enlarge the boundaries of the detective story by making it deal with death and real wickedness and real, that is to say, divine judgment. |

| Catholic Teaching: SquirmersWe have good Masses and bad Masses. When my husband, Tim, and I were courting, we went to Mass together every Sunday. Some weekday mornings we’d meet for 7:30 Mass at the little church near my house. On a winter morning, I would kneel on the kneeler’s stiff, cool leather and watch the gray light filtering through the high windows brighten to white. As the hand bell announcing Mass pealed through the perfectly still church, Tim would slip into the pew beside me and squeeze my hand. I pictured us growing old together in the quiet sanctuary of God’s Church.Then we got married and had children. Each Sunday when we get up and prepare four-year-old Rebecca, two-year-old Angela, and four-month-old Lucy for Mass, my stomach tightens.Read More here. |
