To carry on the mission of the Church, we must be unified, which Jesus himself prayed for. This unity begins first of all with the clergy, who share in the Sacrament of Holy Orders.

As I Have Loved You explores the concept of "clerical unity," which is a way of living out one's vocation to Holy Orders with a sense of oneness, cohesion, and harmony without divisions or fragmentation. Bishops, priests, and deacons form a single, complete brotherhood while maintaining, in whole, each order's distinctive and particular contribution to the mission of the Church.

Clerical unity signifies the interconnectedness, collaboration, and shared purpose among bishops, priests, and deacons. Despite their distinctive roles, they form a unified ordained ministry committed to advancing the mission of the Church by serving the People of God while upholding the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Faith.

As we gaze upon the night sky, we come to stand in awe of God and all that he has made. In doing so, may we draw closer to God and open our hearts to how he is speaking to us.

This fascinating work on the life and times of Cardinal Merry del Val from renowned historian Roberto de Mattei provides a first-ever, in-depth look at the remarkable life of a Servant of God who served four popes.

Spanish by birth, English by education, Cardinal del Val studied in Rome, entering in 1885, by the will of Leo XIII, the Pontifical Academy of Ecclesiastical Nobles. From then until his death, for a span of forty-five years, Merry del Val lived essentially in the Vatican, at the service of four popes (Leo XIII, Pius X, Benedict XV, and Pius XI). Secretary of the conclave that elected Pope St. Pius X, he was appointed by him, at just thirty-eight years old, secretary of state and cardinal. For eleven years, he stood by Pius X, through all the difficult trials of his pontificate, beginning with the battle against Modernism. Under Benedict XV, he was secretary of the Holy Office, a role he continued to hold under Pius XI.

In the conclaves of 1914 and 1922, he himself came close to being elected pope. A veil of mystery still surrounds his death, which occurred in Rome on February 26, 1930. His beatification process was opened on February 26, 1953, by the will of Pius XII, and he was proclaimed Servant of God.

In this sweeping life story, you will see how, through it all, Cardinal del Val remained a model of virtue, leading by example in obedience, fidelity, and devotion. The book describes:

Even in turbulent times, amid anticlerical violence, war, and personal attacks, Cardinal del Val remained the epitome of humility. Whether drafting papal documents, mediating tense religious and political situations, sending consequential encoded telegrams, or defending the teachings of the Church, he lived a life of asceticism and mysticism and steadfastly preserved the truth.

Devotion to Our Lord in the Womb embraces a distinct and separate stage in the history of the Incarnation, writes English author and Jesuit priest Henry James Coleridge. Our Lord's life in the womb of His Blessed Mother, he adds, is a part of His infinite condescension which calls for a corresponding devotion. Beginning with the Annunciation itself and ending on the eve of the Nativity, it covers the whole unborn life of Our Lord. This portion of His human existence is the period of His greatest humiliation and self-abasement. It is only natural that those who take up this special devotion should find themselves consoled and assisted in a wonderful degree by the practices and contemplations associated with it.

In this abridgment of the 1885 edition, Coleridge identifies the Incarnation as the greatest work of God. Indeed, he writes, it may be considered as the crown and completion of the creation of the universe. Christ was sent to earth for the redemption of mankind, and for their instruction in the manner of serving God perfectly. The eye of faith can see from the early life of Christ many holy and tender lessons of humility, obedience, silence, recollection, dependence, and other virtues.

The devotion to the infancy of Christ throws light on the position of the Blessed Mother in the Kingdom of her divine Son, His dependence on her and union with her, the immensity of her graces, and the supreme perfection of her virtues. Among other things, the author also discusses the preparation of St. Joseph for his high and special office in the accomplishment of the Incarnation and all that followed from it.

Excerpts from The Nine Months:

"...Mary cannot have either the fulness [of grace] which is infinite and which sheds itself on all creatures without exhausting itself, nor can she have the imparted grace of the fulness which was in our Lord as Man, in Him alone without measure. In the same way she could not have been so full of grace as not to be able to receive more, or to increase in grace, nor, with regard to the fulness of truth of which St. John speaks, could she in her mortal life, have had that in such a manner as to know all things, nor did she behold God as He is, in the way in which the saints in glory behold Him. Her plenitude of grace was the plenitude of a pure creature, and therefore immeasurably distant from that which is in God and in our Lord. When the Angel addresses her as full of grace, he must be understood as implying that she was as full of grace, as she could be full. And the Saints and Fathers tell us that she was thus so full of grace, as that she could have had no greater fulness, unless she had been herself united to the Godhead, as was the Humanity of her Son. The reason for this is the simple principle, that she had been raised, or was to be raised, to a dignity than which no higher, under God, can possibly be conceived, the dignity of the Mother of God."

"The object of the Incarnation was the Redemption of the world. If Mary the Mother of God was raised so high in the favor of God in order that she might be fit, to be the conscious and willing instrument of this great work of the Incarnation, it stands to reason that her influence and power with God, which of necessity correspond to her graciousness in His sight, must be exercised in favor of those for whom He became her Son, and that she must have the office of being the patroness and advocate of all those for whom He was to die. As our Lord made Himself our Brother by taking flesh in her most pure womb, our relation to her as His brethren must be that of children, and thus the holiest and tenderest of ties that can exist between creatures, that of Motherhood and Sonship, binds us to her and her to us by a bond that nothing can sever. When she ceases to be the Mother of Jesus Christ she will cease to be our Mother through Him."

"The first quality which the Angel attributes to our Lord is greatness. He was to be great on account of His Person, the Person of the Son of God in Human Nature. From this greatness of His Person flows the greatness of His Sanctity and of His Power. And moreover, His greatness belongs in a special manner to the perfect accomplishment of that work. His work involved the revelation of His Father and the declaration of the truths of salvation and faith by word of mouth, and thus He is great in word. No man ever spake as He spake, as was said of Him by those who were sent to apprehend Him. He was to teach the greatest and most sublime truths in the most efficacious and marvelous manner. Moreover, He was to confirm His words by works. In the first place, His works were to go before His words. That is, the example of every most perfect virtue which He taught was to be preceded by His most perfect practice of that virtue. In the second place, He was to confirm His words by showing the Divine authority with which He spoke. 'No man, ' said Nicodemus to Him, 'can do the works which Thou doest, unless God be with Him.'"

"With Eve the question of obedience or disobedience counted for nothing, with Mary nothing counted but the motive of obedience. Obedience was the one virtue by which it pleased God to test His children in the Garden of Paradise. Obedience was the appointed virtue by which the world was to be redeemed by the Son of Mary. The obedience of Mary was not the cause of our redemption, but it was the forerunner of the obedience of our Lord, and it made the Incarnation possible in the manner in which God had decreed it. The disobedience of Eve was not the cause of the ruin of the human race, because we fell in Adam, not in his wife. But the disobedience of Eve led to the disobedience of Adam, by means of which we all fell, only to be redeemed by the Son of her who said, 'behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to thy word.' Eve was persuaded to doubt the word of God, daring to hope that it should not be with her and Adam according to His word. Mary believed the word of God sent to her by St. Gabriel, and obeyed at once and with the most perfect faithfulness."

In his first apostolic exhortation, Dilexi Te ("I have loved you"), Pope Leo XIV focuses on poverty and love for the poor. The Holy Father signed this first magisterial document of his pontificate on October 4, 2025, the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi.

The document's title is reminiscent of the fourth and final encyclical of Pope Francis, Dilexit Nos, on the human and divine love of the heart of Jesus Christ, released in October 2024. Dilexi Te, begun by Pope Francis before his death and completed by Pope Leo XIV, turns our attention to how we can become a church for the poor.

In Dilexi Te, Pope Leo XIV reflects on Saint Francis and his radical life of poverty. Like Saint Francis, we must seek to imitate Christ by detaching ourselves from earthly glory and possessions to better serve God and our neighbor, especially the poor and most vulnerable among us.

Jobless, friendless, restless and adrift, ex-librarian Daniel Quirk knows he needs a change. Off-again, on-again (at best) in his Catholic faith, he makes an impulse-stop at a church that leads to a flash decision: leave the States and make a new life overseas.

He finds work at an animal refuge in South Africa, where he meets fellow volunteer Zhang "Minnie" Meixing, who's devoted to protecting the endangered "earth dragon" pangolins that are her special love. But Quirk discovers Minnie's in hiding from her past. The Communist Party in China has announced a cash bounty for her capture. When her animal rescue efforts threaten to reveal the Party's involvement in a network of clandestine enterprises--from wildlife poaching to human trafficking to cyberscams--the authorities decide to do what is needed to keep all this secret: abduct Minnie and the animal she loves best.

Minnie's uncle, a missionary Catholic priest who is himself on the run from the Party, has a plan to free both his niece and her pangolin. But he'll need the help of Daniel Quirk--who's not sure he has the strength, or the faith, to extricate prisoners from a Chinese jail cell.

As urgent and timely as tomorrow's headlines, Earth Dragon Run propels us from San Francisco to the African bushveldt, from Hong Kong to Vietnam and on to a confrontation amid the jungle ruins of ancient Angkor.
