Cover Synopsis


A
relevant and valuable guide for all Catholics in these gender-bending LGBT times.

NEW - The Nature, Dignity and Mission of Woman £15.00 ea. 143 pp.
This little book is an attempt to answer these questions which every girl should be asking herself in the quiet hours of her life.
Unfortunately human beings today are no longer capable of taking the time to grasp things in the depths of their nature. They want an immediate solution for the here and now, which is then offered to them by the superficial mass media that flatters their own pride - but this living for the moment is only transcient. The mystery of woman is a lasting value, and one can grasp it only by exploring the depths of its nature.

An engrossing account of this 20th Century Saint and the example he set.
NEW - The Life, Apostolate & Spirituality of St. Maximilian Kolbe £13.00 ea. 119 pp.
This book portrays the Saint's great love for the Blessed Virgin Mary, and also includes many examples from his spirituality, his writings, from the prayers he composed and used, and from his publications. Its aim, above all, is to enthuse faithful Catholics, and non-Catholics for that matter, with a love greater than his own for his "Immaculata", and through her and his own example, to win souls for our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

The growth of liberalism and secularity surely points to the need for all Catholics to take up this essential Devotion.
NEW - The Devotion of the Five First Saturdays £5.00 ea  31pp.
On December 10th, 1925 Our Lady said to Sr. Lucy: "Look my daughter, at my Heart, surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce me at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You at least try to console me and announce in my name that I promise to assist at the moment of death, with all the graces necessary for salvation, all those who on the first Saturday of five consecutive months: Confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary with the intention of making reparation."

A précis of the developments to date regarding Our Lady's initial request for the Consecration of Russia.
NEW - The Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary £5.00 ea. 40 pp.
Due to the negligence and delays of the hierarchy, the catastrophes forecast by the Blessed Virgin Mary can now be seen unfolding. Communism has spread across the world, the Church is involved in its own catastrophes involving especially the Holy Father and his ministers, all of whom will meet their fate as did the King of France in 1792 if the consecration is not made. "It will be late, but not too late." "In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph."

What it is, how and why it came into being, and why every Catholic should be wearing one.
NEW - The Miraculous Medal £6.00 ea 64 pp.
Although many Catholics have heard of the Miraculous Medal, not all of them know its origin, the claims made for it, and the story of the Saint to whom the request to have it minted and propagated was made by the Blessed Virgin Mary. This booklet succeeds very well in explaining what needs to be known and illustrates why the practice of wearing the Medal should be espoused. It concludes with a brief biography of St. Catherine Labouré who was favoured with the task given to her by Our Lady.

A beautifully illustrated pocket-sized aid to concentrating on the mysteries of the Rosary during their recitation, and to helping youngsters to gain familiarity with them.
NEW - Meditations on the Mysteries of the Rosary £5.00 ea. 74 pp.
The Rosary is the favourite prayer of Heaven and earth. No other prayer has been recommended by Our Lady in her visitations from Heaven to earth like the Rosary. No other prayer has been so frequently praised, commended, and even commanded by the Popes, or enriched by them with such great indulgences, as the Rosary.
“The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families…that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.” -Sister Lucia dos Santos of Fatima

An account of the apparitions at Fatima by the Angel and by Our Lady.

Fatima - A Spiritual Light For Our Times: Vol. I  
£9.00 ea.  
149pp.
In this beautiful book of explanation on the apparitions of Fatima, Fr. Karl Stehlin offers an inspiring way of renewing our reading of one of the most important events of our times. He proposes to explain the facts not only as something of the past, but one that has repercussions in the life of the Church today. (p.148). We have here solid doctrine and deep spirituality such as should be found in any literature on Our Lady.
This book may be warmly recommended to priests, who have a ‘duty to prepare properly for the centenary of Fatima' (Bp. Fellay's letter, September 2016), but they should not expect to find ready-made conferences (or sermons even); they will find better than that, if only they can afford the unhurried and meditated reading it requires to let the ‘essence of Fatima' sink in.
Both the author and the Publishers have placed Catholic scholarship under a heavy debt of gratitude. We can only wish that his enterprising courage and energy may be rewarded with a speedy and successful continuation of his promised work – Fatima Continued.

An account of the lives and the spirituality of the 3 shepherd children and further details of the later apparitions.

Fatima — A Spiritual Light For Our Times: Vol. II   
£10.00 ea.  
125pp.
In this second volume Fr. Stehlin presents for your meditation, first of all, an essential part of the message of Fatima: the life and spirituality of the three children who had the privilege to see Our Lady. Afterwards we will thoroughly analyze the last two great apparitions following July 13th, in which Our Lady taught practices of devotion to her Immaculate Heart: observance of the five first Saturdays and the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart. These events together with the spiritual experiences of the three seers will give us lessons of the utmost importance about the great mystery revealed at Fatima: her Immaculate Heart!

An account of the real meaning of the Great Secret of Fatima.

Fatima — A Spiritual Light For Our Times: Vol. III   
£13.00 ea.   
191pp. 
In this final volume of the trilogy, Fr. Stehlin presents a deeper reality than the general understanding of the great secret of Fatima as written down by Sr. Lucia and meant for revelation in 1960. He writes that Fatima is, with its whole message and all apparitions of Our Lady, a great secret of God's mercy, his mysterious plan reserved for the last times of the world, when He will reveal to the world the great majesty and grandeur of Our Lady as the last great gesture of His mercy and our ultimate hope. Whenever her requests are accomplished, a shower of graces will fall in abundance on the countries, dioceses, religious orders, institutions, families, and on each soul.


This is a preparation for enrolment to the Militia Immaculatae with an introduction and 13-day preparation according to St. Maximilian Kolbe.
Consecration to the Immaculata   £2.00 ea.
The aim of the consecration to Mary consists in the transformation of our personal life (prayer life, reception of the sacraments, practice of the virtues, spirit of sacrifice) so that we may love God more and more and thus ultimately fulfil our holiest promises, the baptismal promises. Saint Louis de Montfort teaches us to put ourselves under the mantle of the Mother of God in every situation, always and everywhere, and let her lead us poor, miserable sinners by the hand. Only then will we be able to climb the summit of perfection and reach the gates of Heaven at the end of our days. Saint Maximilian Kolbe founded the Militia Immaculatae in order to lay the whole world at HER feet so that SHE could crush the devil's head everywhere and overcome errors around the world. Jesus sends us the Immaculata in order for us to become her knights, to join her small army and to help her save the souls of her children — as many as possible.
The booklet also includes a comprehensive ceremony for enrolment to the Militia Immaculatae.



An enlightening book that gives an easy-to-follow insight into what motivated St. Maximilian Kolbe's outstanding love for Our Lady.
The Immaculata, Our Ideal   £15.00 ea.
This book by Fr. Karl Stehlin is partly biographical but primarily focuses on St. Maximilian Kolbe's life — a long apostolate of spreading devotion to Our Immaculate Lady following the method of St. Louis de Montfort.
Father debunks the typical myths of this so — called “Saint of Ecumenism” and shows his concern with combatting heresy, liberalism, modernism, Freemasonry and the need to convert heretics and Jews.
One of the best features of this book is that Fr. Stehlin continually relates Fr. Kolbe's message with the Crisis in the Church, going so far, for example, as to point out how Lumen Gentium makes it nearly impossible for modern Catholics to truly understand the doctrine of this friar-knight of Our Lady.
We use this book for M.I. Preparation for enrolment.



The full role of the Immaculata is explored and refined, and its relevance to the world in our time is detailed in an easy to read and understand format.
Who Are You, O Immaculata?   £15.00 ea.
The first time that God communicates his own name to us in Holy Scripture he says, "I AM WHO AM."
When Our Lady spoke to little Saint Bernadette at Lourdes she told her "I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION."
Oh, the depths of mystery and of beauty that lies in those twin utterances! Discussion of both of these haunting phrases is tightly woven into this seamless and well ordered explanation of the created universe and God's plan for the world.
Fr. Stehlin quotes extensively from St. John Eudes, Cornelius a Lapide, Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity, St. Maximilian Kolbe, and Lucia of Fatima. This treatise is one of the most succinct and clear explanations of the complete economy of salvation ever penned. The full role of the Immaculata is explored and refined, and its relevance to the world in our time is detailed in an easy to read and understand format. This is militant Catholic theology made simple for this Marian age.

This little booklet gives the history of the M.I. Traditional Observance from its inception and tells how Fr. Stehlin has rejuvenated it and built up to its present state.
The M.I. Traditional Observance   £4.00 ea. 34 pp.
The M.I. Traditional Observance was revived in the spirit and according to the text of its original Statutes on May 6, 2000 by the superior of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in Poland, Fr. Karl Stehlin, with the permission of his General Superior, Bishop Bernard Fellay, in keeping with the principles of the supplementary jurisdiction. In France the spread of the M.I. was entrusted to the traditional Capuchin Friars of Morgon. In February 2002 the General Superior wrote in a letter to the members of the Priestly Society: “By all means, I invite you to undertake this wonderful, thoroughly apostolic initiative and to propagate it. We see that it is in perfect agreement with the Fatima message, on the one hand, and on the other hand with that pious devotion toward the Most Blessed Virgin Mary that our Statutes demand of us.”


The modern world finds Mary and devotion to Mary to be uncomfortable. St. Maximilian Kolbe, in this short collection, shows that there is no other way to please God but through this total devotion to Mary.

She Leadeth Me   £6.00 ea. 69 pp.
According to St. Maximilian Kolbe. Learn true Marian Devotion from one of the greatest Marian Saints of All Time!
Everyone has heard of St. Maximilian Kolbe, but few know who he really is. Offering his life for another was simply the crowning end to a life lived in service of the Immaculate, and in this short collection of his words, he teaches us how to truly desire and obtain that same love which burned in his heart.
If you are looking for a source of meditation on Mary, and a book that will help you to become closer to her Immaculate Heart, then this is it.
You will return to this book again and again to help bring a Marian focus to your daily life, using the words of this saint to truly fall in love with Mary, and to take up her standard as your own.
