The prophets’ sigh, begging the heavens to rend that God may come down, has been answered in Jesus Christ: He is the true temple, God’s living presence in our midst. The one who loves the Son will be loved by His Father, and the Triune God will come to him to make their “abode” with him. Grace therefore brings about the mystery of the inhabitation of the Most Holy Trinity in the soul. This surpassing gift stands at the heart of the Christian life and leads us into eternal life, the happiness for which we were created. Hence, we must safeguard that divine life poured out upon us and seek to grow in it with the help of theological and moral virtues, alongside the gifts of the Holy Spirit. What a treasure a soul possesses, to be in the state of grace, that is, to be beloved of God and a lover of Him!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this little work, Fr. Lanzetta distills the teaching of Sacred Scripture on the mystery of grace, assisted by the great Fathers and Doctors of the Church—above all, St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas—and in light of the Church’s Magisterium. Grace is shown to be Christian theology’s inner structure, opening up the understanding of Divine Revelation and enabling us to live according to its demands. So far from being metaphorical, ethereal, or obscure, grace is as real as our lives: it is the life of the soul, as the soul is the life of the body.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fidelity Books and Pieties","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46715155611929,"sku":"GAWM","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/0989\/5705\/files\/God-s-Abode-with-Man-The-Mystery-of-Divine-Grace-9781960711342.jpg?v=1694226700"},{"product_id":"illusions-of-reform-responses","title":"Illusions of Reform: Responses to Cavadini, Healy, and Weinandy in Defense of the Traditional Mass and the Faithful Who Attend It","description":"\u003cp\u003ePaperback, 256 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween September and November 2022, Church Life Journal published a series of articles on liturgical reform, coauthored by Drs.

With its rosy view of the Liturgical Movement, its caricature of the Catholic faithful prior to Vatican II, its forensically questionable affirmation of Sacrosanctum Concilium’s paternity of the Novus Ordo (not to mention its solemn chrismation of both by the Holy Spirit), and its severe rejection of the “Tridentine movement,” the series sparked ample criticism of the authors’ perplexingly inadequate scholarship, grandiose generalizations, and pastoral callousness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause the innovationist and anti-traditionalist arguments of Cavadini, Healy, and Weinandy are perpetually recycled in seminaries and degree programs around the world—the “commonplaces” of countless bulletins, homilies, blogs, and workshops—the appearance of the series offers a providential opportunity to present Catholic counterarguments.

It throws a revealing light on the “globalist vs. particularist” social dynamics that presently define our collective life—dynamics that have come into clear relief in Russia, Ukraine, Western Europe, the United States, and many other places since the fall of Soviet Communism. It shows how Communism survived its own death by merging with Capitalism, to ultimately reincarnate itself as “soft Communism.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLooking at social forces through a comparatively simple lens, that of a small and apparently unimportant nation like Hungary, the book clearly illustrates how the same forces are operating on a larger scale in much more complex situations. It asks and answers many questions: What is globalism and who are the globalists? What do they want, how do they operate? How do gender (or the deconstruction of gender) and unlimited immigration serve the globalist cause? Can “absolute Liberalism” actually liquidate everything Liberalism ever stood for? And can Orbán’s “particularism”—the particulars in question being nation, culture, language, gender, and faith, if not humanity itself—avoid being turned by a campaign of relentless globalist slander into the kind of enemy that Soros’s globalism needs to manufacture to justify its hegemony?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGábor G.

These are the poles between which human social life oscillates in the post-Soviet world, expressed as a liberal globalist hegemony promoting and acting out of a unipolar world, and a multipolar world of discrete nations, cultures, and histories. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eOrbán vs. Soros\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eswiftly cuts through\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe fog of present history to present a vivid picture of the forces impinging on all of us, and the inescapable choices we confront.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fidelity Books and Pieties","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51123677856025,"sku":"OVS","price":31.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/0989\/5705\/files\/orbansoros.jpg?v=1755309367"},{"product_id":"liturgical-institutions","title":"Liturgical Institutions","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback, 232 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally published over the course of eleven years (1840-1851) in three ample volumes that span nearly two thousand pages, Dom Prosper Guéranger's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eLiturgical Institutions\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esets forth an erudite and impassioned history of the Roman Rite and of the depredations it has suffered over the centuries at the hands of \"anti-liturgical heretics\" whose lineage is by no means exhausted.

However, indecency is just one symptom of the ravaging disease that has made our world a sartorial wasteland. This disease is a hatred of beauty and a glorification of ugliness. It comes in many subtle forms, but its rotten fruits are all around us. The ugliness of our clothing has a devastating effect on our souls. It is time for Catholics to demand something better. In this book, Anna Kalinowska draws on Church teachings, the Catholic philosophical tradition, and fundamental principles of art to diagnose insidious and far-reaching problems with today's fashions.
