The Love That Made Mother Teresa How Her Secret Visions and Dark Nights Can Help You Conquer the Slums of Your Heart The countless sweet photos of her smiling at babies showed Mother Teresa to be a single-minded advocate for the poor. But she was a woman with a will whose strength has been matched by few souls in history. Mother Teresa broke death’s stranglehold on the poor of Calcutta, and she showed us how to conquer the sin and darkness in what she called the “slums of the hearts of modern man.”

Part biography and part spiritual reading, these pages bring to light little-known stories from Mother Teresa’s life that will help you to grow in your love of God. You will learn her approach to reading Scripture, what enabled her to persevere through agonizing nights, and the remarkable — some would say mystical — events that led her to start the Missionaries of Charity.

In considering Mother Teresa, her private visions, and her secret sufferings, David Scott has discovered scores of early episodes and chance encounters that point to later, larger meanings. These remarkable patterns, he suggests, show that Mother “David Scott’s book belongs in the Teresa’s life was choreographed hands of everyone who loves this from above.

most beloved of modern women.”

Dr. Scott Hahn

“This book reminds us — as Mother Teresa always did — that God calls all of us to holiness, to be saints.”

José H. Gomez, Archbishop of Los Angeles “For the first time we are given significant insight into the inner struggles that produced the outer triumph of this icon of modern holiness.”

Matthew Kelly, Author of Rediscovering Catholicism

In these pages, you will meet for the first time the Mother Teresa who challenged the ancient Goddess of Death. You will read as she describes, in longsecret letters, the dark night of her soul. The woman you will meet is one that God himself sent to you as a clear sign that despite pain and suffering in our lives and in our world, God’s good love will prevail . . . beginning in the slums of our hearts.

Canon Law Explained A Handbook for Catholic Laymen Successful organizations always create clear procedure manuals that delineate where authority lies, how conflicts are to be resolved, and, above all, how each organization’s mission is to be accomplished.

Is it any wonder then that the Catholic Church also governs itself by means of a handbook, which it calls the Code of Canon Law?

The Catholic Guide to Depression

Countless Christians — including scores of saints — have suffered profound, pervasive sorrow that modern psychiatrists call “depression.” Then, as now, great faith and even fervent spiritual practices have generally failed to ease this wearying desolation of soul.

In these pages, Catholic psychiatrist Aaron Kheriaty reviews the effective ways that have recently been devised to deal with this grave and sometimes deadly affliction — ways that are not only consistent with the teachings of the Church, but even rooted in many of those teachings.

By Aaron Kheriaty, M.D. Price:

$19.95

Binding: Paperback Pages:

288

ISBN:

978-1-933184-76-0

Extensive clinical experience treating patients with depression has shown Dr. Kheriaty that the confessional can’t cure neuroses, nor can the couch forgive sin. Healing comes only when we integrate the legitimate discoveries of modern psychology and pharmacology with spiritual direction and the sacraments, giving particular attention to the wisdom of the Church Fathers and the saints.

“This is a very well written book and it is recommended to those who have depression and to the interested non-medical reader.”

Catholic Medical Quarterly This book affords friends, loved ones, pastors, and spiritual directors the knowledge they seek to give depressed persons and the understanding, help, and comfort they desperately need.

8

Here, with the expert help of Dr. Kheriaty, you’ll learn how to distinguish depression from similar-looking but fundamentally different mental states such as guilt, sloth, the darkness of sin, and the sublime desolation called “dark night of the soul” that is, in fact, a privileged spiritual trial sent to good souls as a special gift from God.

You’ll come to know how to identify the various types of depression and come to understand the interplay of their often manifold causes, biological, psychological, behavioral, cultural, and, yes, moral.

Then you’ll learn about exciting breakthroughs in pharmacological and other medical treatments, the benefits and limitations of psychotherapy, the critical place that spiritual direction must have in healing, and the vital role that hope — Christian hope — can play in driving out depression.

True or False Possession?

How to Distinguish the Demonic from the Demented Unhinged or unholy? Fiend or fraud? That’s what authorities had to decide about the French nun Marie-Thérèse Noblet (1889–1930). She suffered sudden diseases that were as quickly cured, chokings, night beatings, unclean visions of blasphemous scenes, violent shakes witnessed by onlookers, foul assaults from filthy beasts, including one she recalled as “full of terrible beauty with eyes full of hate.”

Then there’s Sr. Jeanne of the Angels, the seventeenth-century prioress of her Ursuline convent, plagued by diabolical visits with an explicitly erotic element, which spread, epidemic-like, to the Ursuline sisters under her care.

By Dr. Jean Lhermitte Price:

Binding: Paperback Pages:

ISBN:

978-1-933184-89-0

Were these sisters really demonic? Deranged? Or merely deceitful?

That’s the first question exorcists must answer — the question addressed in these pages by the worldfamous French neuropsychiatrist Jean Lhermitte.

Genuine demonic possessions, admits Lhermitte, evade the explanations and exceed the competence of even the wisest physicians: they must be handled not in the clinic, but by the Church.

At the same time, exorcisms will not help the mentally ill. Skilled physicians and trained clergy must press past the visions, the gibbering, the howlings, and the grindings of teeth to distinguish between real possession and “As a psychiatrist, Lhermitte pathology, mental or physical. builds on the Catholic

understanding of true possession and helps to treat the always troubling mixture of illness, sinfulness and the demonic present in such patients.”

Rev. Dennis McManus, St. John the Evangelist Seminary

12

That’s the work Dr. Lhermitte undertakes here. With sober clarity, he reviews clinical records of cases that alarmed our forefathers as well as the cases of many souls that he personally examined. By means of these cases, Lhermitte illuminates the criteria that the Church holds to be decisive signs of genuine possession.
