Many years ago, Pope St. John Paul II said, "We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has ever experienced...the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the gospel and the anti-gospel, between Christ and the antichrist. The confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence. It is, therefore in God's Plan, and it must be a trial which the Church must take up, and face courageously..." In this booklet, Ralph Martin takes a look at what Scripture says about the final confrontation and the work of the Evil One. He exposes the lies of the enemy and the truth about Divine Mercy.  He also identifies what we must do to face the present trials with courage.

Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Truth is compiled by Catholic Answers.  Over five MILLION copies are in print!  Jesus established the Catholic Church especially for you.  He set it up as your spiritual home, he provided it with everything you nedd, and he wants you in it.  The Catholic Church guides you as the the pillar of fire guided the Israelites when they escaped from bondage.  They had a guide they could trust, and now so do you.  Your guide is trustworthy because it teaches as Jesus taught.  This is why the Bible calls the Catholic Church the "pillar and foundation of truth."  Jesus has a special plan for you, one he wants you to perform through his Church.  This booklet explains Jesus' plan and how you can know the Catholic Church is where you belong.

According to the popes of the last 100 years, no devotion is more important to the life of the Church than devotion to the Heart of Jesus. This devotion includes the First Fridays of Reparation.

The is the first title in the new series edited by Theology of the Body experts Christopher West and Katrina Zeno. In this pamphlet, West introduces us to the core truths behind this revolutionary teaching of Pope John Paul II. He asks the two most fundamental questions of human existence: 1) What does it mean to be human? and 2) How can we find true happiness? He shows how an understanding of who we are as male and female and the spousal meaning of our bodies unlocks the key to these and all of life s questions. God's plan for us is stamped right into our bodies, and knowing this gives us a new lens through which to see our life, our relationships, and the world around us. This pamphlet serves as a great, eye-opening introduction to this life-changing message.
