An ordinary Polish nun between the World Wars was granted extraordinary visions of God's mercy. At times ridiculed and even persecuted, the Saint Faustina never wavered in her faith in that revelation.
This biography is illustrated with contemporary photographs and includes a chapter of Saint Faustina's own words and prayers.

To this day, having known a few such great people, I still think that Father Solanus was the saintliest person I ever knew. ---From the Foreword by Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R. Father Solanus Casey, a gentle, compassionate Capuchin priest from Wisconsin, was the son of Irish immigrants. Although he worked most of his life as a monastery doorkeeper, he was often heralded as a 20th-century saint. People flocked to Father Solanus. Those looking for cures from cancer, heart disease, and tuberculosis. Those seeking help for broken marriages, broken hearts, and broken lives. Those wanting to find spiritual health and renewal. He was remarkably low-key in his approach, but visitors continued to seek him out even after his poor health demanded a move to a small town in Indiana. In 1957, at the age of 86, Father Solanus died at exactly the hour he had started his first Mass on the same day in July fifty-three years earlier. Pope John Paul II declared him venerable, the first official step toward sainthood. In showing others that a life-giving faith and a love of God can be both powerful and simple, Father Solanus is a source of encouragement and a model of virtue for the modern world.

Solanus Casey: The Story of Father Solanus

"...A treasure for those who seek to find Mary's presence, both in these astonishing appearances and in their daily lives." -- James Martin, author of My Life with the Saints
For almost the lifespan of the Church, the Blessed Virgin Mary has been returning to the world she left almost twenty centuries ago.
In its attractively redesigned and updated second edition, Those Who Saw Her brings readers the latest developments, updates, and Church statements on the apparitions of Mary -- the most famous apparitions at Guadalupe, Rue de Bac, La Salette, Lourdes, Pontmain, Knock, and Fatima, as well as the fascinating but less-known appearances at Akita, Japan; Kibeho, Rwanda; San Nicolas, Argentina; and Betania, Venezuela.
The book also now includes a complete chapter on the 17th-century appearance of Mary to the young Benoite Rencurel at Laus, France. The Laus apparitions, approved in 2008, were the first Marian apparitions approved by the Church in the 21st century.
Let Mary's prophetic messages bring comfort and hope to your life in this thorough and compelling presentation of the extraordinary visits of the Mother of God to her children around the world.

Each element of the Mysteries is accompanied by features designed to broaden your understanding of it. --Scripture Passage --Reflection on the Mystery --The Rosary in our Lives --Mystery Prayer --Mystery Intentions Regardless of your familiarity with the Rosary, this thoughtful and interesting book will help you to more deeply root the ancient prayer within you. "Without a doubt, this is one of the most eloquent signs of love." --- Pope Benedict XVI

Praying the Rosary for Intercession

What does it matter where we go? Wherever we go, won t we be serving God there? 
 Father Solanus Casey (1870 1957) Wisconsin native, Capuchin friar, and miracle-worker lived this motto throughout his life. By his gentle, cheerful example, he taught others to have that same trust in God. 
 Wherever he was sent whether to parishes in New York City or monasteries in Detroit and tiny Huntington, Indiana Father Casey was widely sought after for his wise counsel, powerful prayers, and miraculous healings. Visitors flocked to the humble monastery doorkeeper, seeking physical cures, advice, and spiritual renewal. Thousands of mourners attended his funeral in July 1957, hailing him as a modern saint. 
 Catherine M. Odell proves that Father Casey s witness remains more important than ever. Featuring first-hand personal accounts and 16 pages of photos, Father Solanus Casey takes readers past the ordinary appearance of this self-effacing friar into his extraordinary holiness.
