NEW: Fr. Groeschel's
Praying To Our Lord Jesus Christ: Prayers and Meditations Through the Centuries
Personal devotion to Our Lord Jesus Christ is an essential component
of authentic Christian spirituality. In recent decades skeptical approaches
to theology and Scripture have tended to diminish our awareness of the
need for personal devotion to Our Savior. This leaves people with a feeling
of emptiness and isolation.
Fr. Benedict has made this anthology of profound prayers, drawn from all
of Christian history, available to those who experience a hunger for devotion.
Beautifully illustrated with classic art, this book will be a valuable
companion for personal prayer, for times of recollection, and even for
those times of critical spiritual need.
Readers wishing to grow in their devotion to Christ and increase their
love for Him will find the prayers in this book helpful and inspiring.
Ranging from the prayers of early Church martyrs and Fathers and including
those of mystics and theologians, it provides an introduction to the Church's
vast patrimony of twenty centuries of devotion to Jesus Christ. Fr. Groeschel
adds his own insights throughout the book.
This book, combining profound prayers with wonderful spiritual insights
and inspiring art—makes a beautiful gift for all who would seek to
know and love Our Lord Jesus better.
"How important it is for us to try to grow with Jesus and increase
our knowledge and love of Him. This book is meant to do exactly that.
These prayers will help you understand how Christians throughout the ages
have lifted their hearts and minds to Jesus Christ." — Fr. Benedict
Groeschel, C.F.R.
Fr. Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R.,
is loved around the world for his bold and powerful witness to the Gospel.
For many years Fr. Groeschel has tirelessly worked with the poor and needy,
spoken to tens of thousands of Catholics, and written numerous articles
and books.
In May 1987 he founded, with eight other friars, the community of the
Franciscan
Friars of the Renewal. The Community, which follows the Capuchian
Tradition, now has over eighty friars and sisters. It is dedicated to
preaching reform within the Church and caring for the homeless in the
South Bronx and Harlem sections of New York City, as well as in London
and Honduras.
Fr. Groeschel is Director for the Office for Spiritual Development for
the Archdiocese of New York. He founded and is on the staff of Trinity
Center—a center for prayer and study for the clergy. John Cardinal
O’Connor appointed him promoter of the cause of Canonization of the
Servant of God, Terence Cardinal Cooke, in 1984.
Fr. Groeschel earned his doctorate in psychology from Columbia University
in 1971 and is professor of pastoral psychology at St. Joseph’s Seminary
of the Archdiocese of New York. He has taught at Fordham University, Iona
College, and Maryknoll Seminary.
He is also chairman of the Good Counsel Homes and the St. Francis House,
which provides residence and programs for homeless young mothers and homeless
youth. For fourteen years, Fr. Groeschel served as chaplain of the Children’s
Village in Dobbs Ferry, New York.
Fr. Groeschel has appeared on EWTN numerous times and has written many
books, including -
Arise From Darkness: What to Do When Life Doesn't Make Sense,
The Reform of Renewal,
Rosary: The Chain of Hope, Still
Small Voice: A Practical Guide on Reported Revelations, and, most recently,
The Drama of Reform, all published by Ignatius Press.
When Fr. Groeschel was nearly killed in a traffic accident in early 2004, tens of thousands prayed for his life. Miraculously, he
lived. IgnatiusInsight.com interviewed him and asked him about his recovery, what he
has gone through since the accident, and his book,

G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was one of the finest Christian authors and apologists
of the past two hundred years. Raised as an agnostic, he embraced Christianity as a young man, ultimately entering the Catholic Church
in 1922. He wrote hundreds of essays, as well as novels, short stories, poetry, apologetics, literary
criticism, and nearly everything else imaginable. Dale Ahlquist, president and co-founder of the American
Chesterton Society and author of
G.K Chesterton: Apostle of Common Sense, writes, "Chesterton was equally at ease with literary and social criticism,
history, politics, economics, philosophy, and theology. His style is unmistakable, always marked
by humility, consistency, paradox, wit, and wonder. His writing remains as timely and as timeless
today as when it first appeared, even though much of it was published in throw away paper." Read more
about the life and work of this remarkable thinker, author, and apologist.

Confessions of an Ex-Feminist
by Lorraine V. Murray
Confessions is the honest and heart-rending account of a woman who was born into a Catholic family, attended parochial schools and
fully embraced the beliefs of her faith, but ran into major roadblocks in college. Amidst the radical feminist college environment of
the 1960's, she lost her faith, and her morality, jumping aboard the bandwagon of "free love." She indulged in a series of love relationships
in college, all of which crashed and burned. Despite the obvious contradiction between feminist teachings and her own experience,
Murray still believed she had to free herself from the yoke of tradition. Attaining a doctorate in philosophy, with an emphasis on the
feminist writings of Simone de Beauvoir, Murray taught philosophy in college. For many years, she launched a personal vendetta against
God and the Catholic Church in the classroom, trying to persuade students that God did not exist, mocking values Catholics hold dear,
and touted feminism as the cure for many social ills. When she discovered she was pregnant, Murray followed the route that feminists
offer as a solution for unmarried women. Much to her surprise, her abortion was a shattering emotional experience, which she grieved
over for years. It was the first tragic chink in her feminist armor.
