Gabriele Amorth, known as “the Pope’s Exorcist,” exposes the reality of evil and lays out what our response should be in a time when the devil appears more powerful and cunningly alluring than ever. Our age, Fr. Amorth explains, is seduced by the wiles of the enemy — either through fascination with the occult or through willful ignorance. There is, however, nothing to fear when we put on the armor of God.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  In these absorbing pages, Fr. Amorth offers ways to equip yourself and your loved ones for the spiritual battle that all humans are destined to face — and to attain victory. From the pen of the legendary priest exorcist, you will learn gripping details about:  \u003cbr\u003e  The figure of Satan and key ways to protect yourself from diabolical snares      The role of exorcists — past and present — and their discernment in counseling afflicted souls       Lessons from the saints in overcoming the temptations and attacks of the devil      Six types of disturbances that the devil can provoke (Can you guess them?)      Three things that cause a soul to fall into diabolical disturbances      Signs of diabolical possession and the view of science in such cases An invaluable collection of tried-and-true traditional prayers is also included for protection against the devil and liberation from his bondage.  \u003cbr\u003e  Fr. Amorth further explains the origin of Hell and the primary tactic the devil uses in pursuit of souls. He also provides a brief overview of the history of exorcism from the earliest centuries of Christianity and describes the ministry of exorcism, yesterday and today. Drawing from the riches of his experience, Father clarifies how he evaluates whether an individual is suffering due to preternatural causes and reveals the only authentic proof of malevolent influence.  \u003cbr\u003e  See how the ability to cast out demons testifies to Jesus’ divinity and will discover ways that all of the faithful can intercede for the afflicted. Above all, you will be consoled by the power of Christ over the enemy and learn to rest safely in His care while trusting that by His Precious Blood shed on the Cross the triumph is already won.   \u003cbr\u003e  An informative read for Catholics who want to equip themselves for spiritual warfare and a relevant primer for our times.   \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePersonalized St. Benedict Home Blessing Hanging Cross\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e  Ivory wooden beads on cording accent a lovely, stylized wooden Cross imprinted with the St. Benedict Jubilee Medal, one of the most beloved sacramentals in the Church.

He dwells repeatedly on the Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Hell, and Heaven, bringing the reader to consider his own eternal destiny. Above all, St. Alphonsus's message is permeated by a prolonged meditation on the words of Our Lord: \"What doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his own soul?\" The goods of the world are fleeting, and to the Christian, they are even a burden—as St. Paul would say, \"so much trash\"—because \"there is only one thing that is necessary.\" Topics include:\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe certainty of death,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe uncertainty of the time,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe death of the sinner,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe death of the negligent Christian,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe death of the just,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe habit of sin,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edelusions of the devil,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticular and General Judgments,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehe pains of Hell and its eternity,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe remorse of the damned,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eand more to stir the soul to repentance . . .\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  Though St. Alphonsus can be a harrowing man to hear, it is only from the most unique tenderness and subtlety of his heart that such words can spring.

Yet I believe that being faithful to our own dark moments is the path of true prayer.” In her book, A Midwinter God: Encountering the Divine in Seasons of Darkness, Paintner offers an invitation to enter the wisdom of holy darkness and to find there a path toward hope and spiritual maturity.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Paintner has experienced multiple journeys through grief that have brought her face-to-face with what she calls the “midwinter God”—the seeming absence of the God of life in dark and fallow seasons of loss.

By embracing noise and pleasure, we avoid thinking about anything that may be associated with aging, dying, or our final end.

Best-selling author Vittorio Messori invites you to explore this and other aspects of Pascal’s Wager in a compelling, conversational way.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  In these soul-stirring pages, you will find that death isn’t simply an individual concern but a collective one. Society’s continual advancements in technology and rising political hostilities make the possibility of nuclear apocalypse and other mass extinction events ever more real. Modern culture, however, seems fascinated with death only in entertainment. For death in reality, it relies on euphemisms and escapism rather than direct, honest engagement with the problems of sin, suffering, and grief.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Through thought-provoking examples from history, entertainment, psychology, and culture, you will learn ways in which society’s treatment of death is impacting education, careers, mental health, and daily living.
