Are you or someone you know struggling to understand the Catholic faith? Have you contemplated leaving or know someone who has left the Church?
Many young people have left the Catholic Church in search of fulfillment and satisfaction elsewhere and most of the time, for good reason. From bad Mass experiences, to inadequate answers to good questions, to a hypocritical hierarchy, Mallory Smyth doesn't blame them. In fact, she was one of them. Years ago, Mallory had one foot out of the Catholic Church. Her life had been completely transformed by Jesus but it was done in another denomination. It was only when she started doing her own research that she fell deeply in love with the Catholic faith.
If you are a millennial reading this book, you'll find honest encounters in the Catholic Church as a millennial. You'll laugh at quirks, lament at failures, and revisit this beautiful faith in which Jesus Christ started to move closer to your heart. For anyone who has left or is close to leaving the faith, Rekindled just might illuminate a path back home—to a Church that is both holy and in need of perfection.
Daily Lenten Meditations
An all-in-one Crux Lenten experience designed for parishes to distribute to parishioners and for small groups and families to do together.
Living Easter will help you fulfill the vision of St. John Paul II, who said, “We are an Easter people, and Alleluia is our song!”
As the most significant season of the Church year, Easter deserves to be lived well and celebrated fully, and few voices speak more compellingly about Christian joy than Laura Kelly Fanucci, celebrated author and creator of The Holy Labor newsletter and the Mothering Spirit platform. “Living Easter celebrates joy itself as our Resurrection practice,” Fanucci writes. “Taking up joy as a daily discipline teaches us about feasting as a companion practice to fasting: an intentional sacred act that draws us closer to God."
From Fr. Michael E. Gaitley, MIC, author of the bestselling book Consoling the Heart of Jesus, comes an extraordinary 33-day journey to Marian consecration with four giants of Marian spirituality: St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, and Blessed John Paul II. Fr. Michael masterfully summarizes their teaching, making it easy to grasp and simple enough to put into practice. More specifically, he weaves their thought into a user-friendly, do-it-yourself retreat that will bless even the busiest of people.
STARTING ON APRIL 28TH AND CONSECRATING ON THE FEAST OF THE VISITATION MAY 31
“This book is a friendship telling its story. It is friends telling together their experience of friendship in the Lord.”
Friendship isn’t just a longing―it’s a holy calling. We are made for deep, life-giving connection. Yet in a world overwhelmed by digital noise and surface-level interaction, many of us feel more isolated than ever. Friendship in the Lord offers a timeless, grace-filled response to that ache.
Originally published in 1974 and beloved by Catholics for decades, this spiritual classic by Dominican priest Fr. Paul Hinnebusch has been reprinted for a new generation―one that longs for meaningful connection but often doesn’t know where to begin. Blending theological depth with heartfelt personal reflection, this book is a moving testament to the real-life beauty of friendship rooted in Christ.
With the wisdom of a teacher, the soul of a mystic, and the voice of a friend, Fr. Hinnebusch reveals how authentic friendship―when founded in the love of Christ―is a pathway to holiness and healing.
The Way of the Rosary: A Journey with Mary Through Scripture, Liturgy, and Life
Discover the Rosary as a living journey of Grace
The Rosary is a path that weaves the lives of Jesus and Mary into the very fabric of our own. Yet in the midst of daily demands, distractions, and struggles, it can be difficult to walk that path with focus and joy.
In The Way of the Rosary: A Journey with Mary through Scripture, Liturgy, and Life, Catholic mom and writer Shannon Wendt invites readers to encounter the Rosary as a devotion so deep it becomes a way of life.
