From Fr. Michael E. Gaitley, MIC, author of the popular book "Consoling the Heart of Jesus," comes an extraordinary 33-day journey to Marian consecration with four giants of Marian spirituality: St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and Blessed Pope John Paul II. Father Michael masterfully summarizes their teaching, making it easy to grasp, and simple enough to put into practice. More specifically, he weaves their thought into a user-friendly, do-it-yourself retreat that will bless even the busiest of people. So, if you've been thinking about entrusting yourself to Mary for the first time or if you're simply looking to deepen and renew your devotion to her, "33 Days to Morning Glory" is the right book to read and the perfect retreat to make.
"In these pages I met the gentle Mother I have loved for so long. In reading this book, I hope that you get the chance to meet her and come to rely on her as I do. I fully recommend it to you as one of the best books on Mary!"

For Christ and Church
0 pages, $6.95
"If I may ask, Lord, let me be but a kitchen rag in your Church, a rag used to wipe up messes and then thrown away into some dark and dirty corner. I want to be used up and worn out in the same way, so that Your House would be a little cleaner and brighter (Journal, Jan. 13, 1911)."
The second part of the book comprises excerpts from the letters of Blessed George that show at turns his spiritual zeal, common sense, and humanity.
Consider this correspondence with a fellow Marian. On Aug. 24, 1912, he writes,"It would be better to have fewer members as long as they are men"full of spirit, trustworthy, men who would be unafraid to give up "even their health and life, if need be, for the glory of God and the salvation of souls."Then, in a more practical vein, he writes on Dec. 9, 2012,"Do not forget that health also is a gift of God and as such must be cherished. It would be better to labor 10 years or more than to burn out quickly in a few months."
Journal of Blessed George, Hardcover
0 pages, $16.00
Read the Journal and discover the riches of Blessed George's spiritual life.
As both a bishop and archbishop, Blessed George was recognized for his work as an apostle of unity during tumultuous times in his native Lithuania. And throughout his life, he launched important initiatives that mobilized the laity for the greater good of the Church.
Marian Helpers will be particulary inspired by Blessed George's nuggets of timeless, spiritual wisdom in his Journal. He could be addressing the urgent need for Divine Mercy today. He writes in 1977, "We must never stop being concerned with those who are steeped in sin, those who have lost their faith or, never having known it, are wandering about in darkness, far away from Christ and His Church.

Loved, Lost, Found
17 Divine Mercy Conversion Stories
By Felix Carroll
0 pages, $14.95
Author Ronda Chervin, Ph.D., has called this "one of the best books I have ever read." Written by Felix Carroll, Loved, Lost, Found profiles 17 everyday people who discover God's extraordinary mercy. They include a former abortionist, a blind atheist, an unfaithful husband, a former cult member, a rape victim, a prisoner, a former "workaholic," and a survivor of the "Miracle on the Hudson" plane crash, among others. Jesus told St. Faustina "The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy." This book illustrates how Jesus shows mercy to prodigals.
Praise for Loved, Lost, Found
This is a fabulous book. What does our world need more than mercy? People everywhere are hurting and hungry for the compassionate mercy of God. By reading this book you will learn how to bring God's mercy to all those who cross your path.
-Matthew Kelly, founder of DynamicCatholic.com and author of
The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic
Truly, this is one of the best books I have ever read. Loved, Lost, Found is a book to cherish and to give copies of to everyone you know, be they skeptics or ardent Catholics. In our grim times, how we need to read about these victories of Divine Mercy in the lives of people as diverse as a dentist, a blind Jew turned Catholic, and a former abortionist. We even read about the father of a murdered daughter who tries to save her murderer from execution and a woman in a New Age cult who is attacked by Satan but then finds freedom in God's mercy.
Felix Carroll is a wonderful stylist. He enters into the heart and soul and life of each of those he interviews, so that each one comes alive for us as we see the person transformed by the mercy of Jesus. Loved, Lost, Found also has insights about life in general that will surprise and enlighten you.
Congratulations, Marian Press, on Loved, Lost, Found.
-Ronda Chervin, Ph.D. Professor of Philosophy and Spirituality,
Holy Apostles College and Seminary
Pope Paul VI once said that we listen more willingly today to witnesses than to teachers, and that if we do listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses. Felix Carroll has given us 17 witnesses in this beautiful book who teach us through the stories of their lives that God's mercy is available to us as well. I highly recommend this book which is hard to put down. Felix has done a wonderful job of showing us that God is real, that He is close to us, and that He is doing great things in people's lives. We learn what is possible if we open our hearts and trust in God's merciful love.

Vicar General of the Marians of the Immaculate Conception
No Turning Back
A Witness to Mercy
By Fr. Donald H. Calloway, MIC
0 pages, $13.95
Many who know of Fr. Donald know him because of his conversion story. He has spoken of it at conferences, on television, radio, online, and wherever he can spread the message. This book finally captures in print how Divine Mercy, through the intercession of the Blessed Mother, touched his life.
In his own words, No Turning Back recounts Fr. Donald's personal story of conversion after reading a book about Our Lady.
Though today he is a devout Catholic Marian priest, Fr. Donald's early years were no indication of what was to come. Before his conversion to Catholicism, he was a high school dropout who had been kicked out of a foreign country, institutionalized twice and thrown in jail multiple times. Discovering a book on Our Lady led to his conversion and ardent love of Mary and the Church.
As a priest in the Congregation of Marians of the Immaculate Conception, Fr. Donald has completed advanced studies in Mariology and strives to share his own love of Mary. Currently Fr. Donald is the House Superior of the Marian House of Studies in Steubenville, OH, and Vocation Director for the Marians.

Purest of All Lilies

Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC, says of this book: "Purest of All Lilies is an in-depth study by Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, of the very special relationship between the Virgin Mary and St. Faustina. I strongly recommend this book to devotees of The Divine Mercy.
Its value is the way the author explores the role the Blessed Mother, by God's design, played in the forming and perfecting of St. Faustina to accomplish His merciful plan toward His ever-wayward people at a critical point in salvation history."

Under the Mantle: Marian Thoughts from a 21st Century Priest
By Fr. Donald H. Calloway, MIC
0 pages, $19.95
Under the Mantle: Marian Thoughts from a 21st Century Priest is the long-awaited book by Fr. Donald Calloway, author of the bestselling book No Turning Back: A Witness to Mercy. In Under the Mantle, Fr. Calloway deftly shares his personal insights on topics including the Eucharist, the papacy, the Church, confession, Divine Mercy, prayer, the cross, masculinity and femininity. The Blessed Virgin Mary is the central thread weaving a tapestry throughout with quotes about Our Lady from saints, blesseds, and popes. Under the Mantle is certain to become a "tour de force" Marian book for the Year of Faith!
Praise for Under the Mantle!
We are living in an extraordinary time of grace and mercy. It is a time in which many people, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, are experiencing a renewed appreciation for the sacred and unchanging truths of Catholicism. Though the vast majority of universities and colleges today indoctrinate their students into the dictatorship of moral relativism, the media puts forth an ideology of rampant secularism, and the political realm is filled with proponents of a culture of death, nevertheless, it is in these times that Jesus, through the Immaculata, is raising up a new generation of Catholics. In Under the Mantle: Marian Thoughts from a 21st Century Priest, Fr. Calloway masterfully blends together aspects of his own conversion story with profound theological insights into Catholicism, presenting everyone from "Joe six-pack in the pew" to a seminary rector with incredibly vivid and thought-provoking analogies into why it is so important for a Christian to live under the mantle of Mary. I very highly recommend that everyone read this book!
-Very Rev. Douglas Mosey, C.S.B., Ph.D. President-Rector
Holy Apostles College & Seminary. Cromwell, CT
One of the biggest challenges facing Catholics today is the risk of becoming jaded, lukewarm, disillusioned, or unenthused about their Catholic faith. Indeed, not being madly in love with Jesus, Mary, and the Church is an increasing threat in the lives of many today. For this reason, this book could not have come at a better time. In this book Fr. Calloway weaves both his personal conversion story and love for Our Lady with wave after wave of fascinating insights into the Catholic faith, offering the reader ample reasons for rediscovering and falling back in love with the saving mysteries of Catholicism. This book is a must read for all!
-Derry Connolly, Ph.D. President
John Paul the Great Catholic University. San Diego, CA
Raw, unapologetic, and inspiring! A book that is easily understood, yet delving deep, beyond the litany of filters, and challenging spiritually hungry souls to wake up. A truly unique and extraordinary Marian gem for the New Evangelization. You will be thanked when you pass it on!
