Polygon

Fr. Faber calls it the price of our salvation, for Our Lord died from loss of blood. Says, it is out of the Precious Blood that men draw martyrdoms, vocations, celibacies, austerities, heroic charities and all the magnificent graces of high sanctity. Says the Sacraments are God's machinery for keeping His Precious Blood always flowing in the Church and that the evils on earth and the pains of Hell would be much worse without the shedding of Our Lord\'s Precious Blood.

This book stands as the "source and origin" of all Father Faber's other writings. It contains a fundamental insight that leads to a proper understanding of Catholic spirituality. Fr. Faber says that men in the modern era accept God's existence but deny His sovereignty in practice. Though written in the mid-19th century, this book is absolutely on target today because humanity's tendency to arrogate itself to the prerogatives of God, although strong in Fr. Faber's time, is epidemic today. A real eye-opener!

The Creator and The Creature: The Wonders of Divine Love

Describes Our Lady's Seven Sorrows, relating them to our own spiritual life. Tells why God permitted her sorrows, and describes the immensity of them, including their characteristics. Explains how Our Lady rejoiced in her sorrows, and demonstrates how the Church puts the sorrows before us. Gives a detailed examination of each sorrow, culminating in the crucifixion and burial of Our Lord. Helps build devotion to Our Lord through an explanation of the sorrows of His Mother—experience shows that we never grow more rapidly in the love of the Son than when we travel by the Mother. Whoever is grows in devotion to the Mother of God grows in all good things. Perfect for Lent. Similar to the booklet Devotion to the Sorrowful Mother. Imprimatur.

The Foot of the Cross

History

World

Probably Fr. Faber's greatest book. Includes The Ruling Passion, Human Respect, The Right View of Our Faults, Abiding Sorrow for Sin, Scruples, Spiritual Idleness, True Signs of Progress in the Spiritual Life, and more--27 chapters in all! Typical of Fr. Faber's keen insight into all matters bearing on True Religion. Shows that growth in holiness is the issue of life and deserves at least as much intelligent attention as our physical life!

Growth In Holiness

One of Fr. Faber's greatest books; and definitely his most encouraging; for it was written precisely to help us save our souls by "serving Jesus out of love;" for "everything comes easy to love." Gives us powerful motives for loving God. Says if we did; it would be with us as it was with Jacob working to earn the hand of Rachel: "Years would seem but days; for the greatness of our love." Makes a person feel rich to be a Catholic. This is Fr. Faber at his best!
