The book Lord's Prayer: Live It or Quit Saying It is a challenging book that attracts our interest mainly because it is full of reflections on many questions arising from the present society. This book gives us much more than mere spiritual reflections, as it gives us a meaningful experience of God the Father and invites us to reflect on the significance of our lives based on the lived spiritual experience of many ordinary individuals; it poses simple but profound challenges before us to move close to Jesus Christ. It exhorts that without a vision of heaven, our life can be a big loss. Congratulating Shri Matthew Palai for this precious endeavor, I recommend this book to all who are seriously thinking about a meaningful spiritual life. --Bishop Thomas Tharayil Auxiliary Bishop of Changanacherry In a nutshell, the Lord's Prayer is like an antibiotic. If an antibiotic does not work for you, then it will work against you. If you do not try to live what you pray, then it is better not to say the Lord's Prayer because instead of saving your soul, it will endanger it. If you do good deeds and charitable works to go to heaven, you will not get admittance to heaven, and this book tells you why. If you rely only on prayers to go to heaven, the gates of heaven will not be opened for you, and this book tells you why. The existence of God, existence and immortality of soul, life after death, hell, heaven, etc. are unverifiable, yet we should live as if they are all real, and this book tells you why. This book tells you how to become worthy to say the Lord's Prayer so that it does not endanger the soul but delivers it salvation.

Thomas Aquinas is generally acknowledged to be the greatest theologian of the Middle Ages and his masterpiece, 'Summa Theologica', provides a complete and authoritative statement of medieval economic thought that has remained the official Catholic view right up to the present time. St Thomas had a decisive influence on economic thought in at least three broad areas: the theory of private property, the theory of the just price and the doctrine of usury. St Thomas's great contribution to economic thought, as to theology, moral philosophy, and politics, lies in his emphasis on ratiocination on the Greek ideal of accepting nothing unless good reasons can be given for it.

Many Catholics are unaware of our holy traditions on and powerful devotions to the Sorrows of Mary. Based on Scripture and the lives of the Saints, this little book will open eyes and hearts to the Sorrows of Our Lady.

Dawn Eden, internationally known speaker and author of the bestselling The Thrill of the Chaste, shows how the lives of the saints have given her hope and aided her journey of spiritual healing after childhood sexual abuse. One in four American women and one in six American men report having been sexually abused during childhood and My Peace I Give You: Healing Sexual Wounds with the Help of the Saints provides a much-needed resource for spiritual healing from the isolating effects of these wounds. Eden uses her own story as a backdrop to introduce numerous holy people— like Laura Vicuña, Thomas Aquinas and Bernard of Clairvaux—who suffered sexual abuse or sexual inappropriateness, as well as saints such as Ignatius of Loyola who suffered other forms of mistreatment and abandonment. Readers seeking wholeness will discover saints with wounds like their own, whose stories bear witness to the transforming power of grace. Eden explores different dimensions of divine love—sheltering, compassionate, purifying, etc.—to help those sexually wounded in childhood understand their identity in the abiding love of Christ.
