by Roy Peachey
We can get carried away with thinking about all the unfamiliar words associated with the Catholic faith and forget that the really important words may be very familiar indeed. Words like “love”. In his first letter, St John wrote that “God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.” This really is the heart of the Christian faith. God is not an impersonal being somewhere far away. He is love. And if we live in love we live in God. Even more remarkably, God lives in us.
And the love that is spoken about in the Bible is not a limited, half-hearted type of love but a full-blooded love that breaks through every sort of weakness and sin. As St Paul put it in his letter to the Romans, “I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ our Lord.”
The ultimate expression of this love is to be found in the death of Jesus on the cross. “God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us,” as St Paul wrote in the same letter. Or, to return to St John, we find right at the start of his Gospel that “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
Love is right at the centre of the Catholic faith. God loves us. Loves us so much, in fact, that he gave his only Son, his very self. What follows from this is that we should love God, which is the message Moses gives the people of Israel in the Old Testament: “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord, and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your might.” This is such a familiar quotation that we can skate over just how amazing it is. What God wants of his people is not for them to offer lots of sacrifices or to quake before him, but to love him and to love him with everything they’ve got.
But what does loving God mean? Part of the answer to that question is given in the Book of Leviticus where the people of Israel were told: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” Loving God necessarily leads us onto loving other people, as Jesus himself pointed out when a scribe asked him, “Which commandment is the first of all?” Rather than give him just one commandment, Jesus told him that loving your neighbour as yourself and loving God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength was what really mattered: “There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Another way of thinking about love is to look at the word itself. Or the words themselves. C. S. Lewis once wrote a book called The Four Loves in which he looked at four different words in Greek that are all translated as “love” in English: storge (which could also be translated as “affection”); philia (“friendship”); eros (“sexual love”); and agape. Of all these words, agape is the hardest to translate. The Latin equivalent is caritas, so the translation we often see is “charity”. Unfortunately, “charity” now has other connotations in English. We tend to understand the word in a very limited sense as simply giving money to people in need.
A better way of thinking about agape is given by St Paul. In the famous passage on love in his first letter to the Corinthians, St Paul explains that love really is expressed in action: “Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” That is what agape is and that is why, according to St Paul, “faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
Agape is the most commonly used word for love in the New Testament but it is not the only one. Eros is also an important in the Bible. In fact, the very opening of the Bible teaches us a great deal about this type of love. It is only after the creation of Eve that Adam is able to say, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.” It is only when Adam and Eve come together that they are complete. As Benedict XVI wrote, “eros is somehow rooted in man’s very nature; Adam is a seeker, who ‘abandons his mother and father’ in order to find woman; only together do the two represent complete humanity and become ‘one flesh’.” Eros finds its fulfilment in marriage. What is even more remarkable is that the marriage bond tells us something fundamental about God’s way of relating to us: God loves his people – his Church – like a bridegroom loves his bride. It is through this love of God for us that we become the people we were truly meant to be.

The Radiance of Her Face
These meditations on the Immaculate Conception will teach you to look at and love Our Lady as God sees and loves her. Alive to the role of material beauty in strengthening our perception of the invisible, Dom Perrin uses the visual language of the “Triptych” to assist us in our understanding of Mary’s role in the divine plan. Those who already rejoice in fervent devotion to Mary will find their love for her here nourished, stirred, refreshed, confirmed, given new impetus. For those who have lacked the confidence to turn to Mary, who feel they do not really understand how we can pray to her, or relate to her, these pages may prove truly liberating, inviting entry into a prayer life that is deeper, more confident, and more effective. A contemplative gaze at Mary Immaculate has the power to change us, to convert us, to soften our hard hearts, to open us up to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Here then is a book to be savoured, to be read slowly and repeatedly, to be passed on to others. May it be a blessing for all who encounter it.

The Day is Now Far Spent
Robert Cardinal Sarah calls The Day Is Now Far Spent his most important book. He analyses the spiritual, moral, and political collapse of the Western world and concludes that “the decadence of our time has all the faces of mortal peril”.
A cultural identity crisis, he writes, is at the root of the problems facing Western societies. “The West no longer knows who it is, because it no longer knows and does not want to know who made it, who established it, as it was and as it is. Many countries today ignore their own history. This self-suffocation naturally leads to a decadence that opens the path to new, barbaric civilizations.”
While making clear the gravity of the present situation, the cardinal demonstrates that it is possible to avoid the hell of a world without God, a world without hope. He calls for a renewal of devotion to Christ through prayer and the practice of virtue.

The Day is Now Far Spent
Robert Cardinal Sarah calls The Day Is Now Far Spent his most important book. He analyses the spiritual, moral, and political collapse of the Western world and concludes that “the decadence of our time has all the faces of mortal peril”.
A cultural identity crisis, he writes, is at the root of the problems facing Western societies. “The West no longer knows who it is, because it no longer knows and does not want to know who made it, who established it, as it was and as it is.

Dom Prosper Guéranger (1805-1875) devoted himself to liturgical scholarship, polemics, and the establishment of Benedictine communities in France.

A Time to Die
Behind monastery walls, men of God spend their lives preparing for the passage of death. Best-selling French author Nicolas Diat sets out to find what their deaths can reveal about the greatest mystery faced by everyone – the end of life.
How to die? How to respond to our fear of death? To answer these and other questions, Diat travelled to eight European monasteries. Through extraordinary interviews with monks, he learned that their death experiences are varied and unique, with elements of peace, pain, humility, sorrow, and joy. These monks have the same fears, torments, and sorrows as everyone else, Diat discovered. What is exemplary about them is their humility and simplicity. When death approaches, and its hand reveals its strength, they are like happy and naïve children who wait with impatience to open a gift. They have complete confidence in the mercy of God.

In Heaven We’ll Meet Again
The Saints and Scripture on Our Heavenly Reunion
In wise and consoling letters written to a grieving mother on the death of her child, Fr François Rene Blot draws from the greatest saints who testify with one voice that death’s wound, though grievous, separates us but a short while from those who have died before us. Acknowledging that profound sorrow at the death of a loved one is appropriate, Fr Blot nonetheless gives us reasons to be joyful: not only will we be reunited with our loved ones in heaven, but we can also look forward to our friendships being perfect, free of all selfishness and regrets. Moreover, the saints say, in heaven we will love and know the love of countless souls we never met on earth, our Guardian Angel, and all the choirs of angels!

Dominic Barberi
An introduction to one of the least known yet most influential apostles to the English. Famously, Blessed Dominic Barberi (1792–1849) received Saint John Henry Newman into the Catholic Church, yet even the most renowned Newman scholars hardly pause to consider the significance of the man at whose feet Newman knelt to make his confession on a stormy night in October 1845. Blessed Dominic had longed to minister in England for most of his adult life. He was a gifted theologian, though he may not have known what a prodigious author he was, or of his extraordinary spiritual gifts – his ecstasies and visions, his prophetic insight and ability to read souls – and almost constant experience of the ‘dark night’ of the soul, spiritual agonies constantly offered up for the conversion of England.

Memorise the Faith!
Memorising the Faith is no substitute for living a holy life, but even devout people can’t live by truths they can’t remember. That’s why, over 700 years ago, St. Thomas Aquinas perfected an easy method for his students to memorise most any information, but especially the truths taught by Christ and His Church. Refining techniques taught by the ancient philosophers, St Thomas created a mental “memory mansion” and a way to store information in “rooms,” where it remains, fresh and accessible, until you return to retrieve it.
Dr Vost remains faithful to St Thomas’ vision, showing how you can use this system to recall hundreds of key Church teachings, Bible verses, theological terms, and other elements of the Faith every Catholic needs to know by heart.

How Christianity Saved Civilisation
Ancient Rome’s brutal culture exploited the weak and considered human life expendable. Women were used as property; unwanted children were left on the streets to die. Four centuries later, even ordinary men and women prospered in what had become a vigorous new Christian society, a society that served the vulnerable, exalted women, treasured virtue, and loved peace.
Faith had triumphed. Truth was proclaimed. And on this rock-solid foundation, Christian society flourished in the West for the next 1500 years.
Here you’ll learn about the seven specific areas where any paganism, ancient or modern, is particularly vulnerable. They provide a roadmap for modern Christians to reclaim for the Faith our own neo-pagan modern culture.
Facing an overwhelmingly dark and hostile culture, Rome’s early Christians took the steps necessary to transform it. Their struggles and the hard lessons they learned documented here afford us hope that, by imitating their example, we may do the same for our culture today.

Catena Aurea
4 Volume Set
St. Thomas Aquinas’ Catena Aurea is a masterpiece anthology of Patristic commentary on the Gospels – it includes the work of over eighty Church Fathers.
