Famous for his kindliness and gentleness, he is a patron of disadvantaged youth because of his caring for children on the streets and juvenile delinquents, whose care and welfare he made his life's work. Giving them shelter and care, teaching them skills for future employment, and even enticing them with his uncanny magic tricks and juggling skills, Don Bosco was famous as a helper of the poor and needy children created by the Industrial Revolution, as well as a beloved publisher of catechetical works. But as \u003ci\u003eForty Dreams of St. John Bosco shows\u003c\/i\u003e, there is far more inside this powerhouse saint than meets the eye. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in his memoirs, St. John Bosco's dreams reveal a side of the gentle saint that is scarcely recognizable, taking him squarely from the image of the saint of social welfare to one as a mystical pastor of souls. The dreams—really allegorical visions, and terrible ones—see him tossing on the waves of the high seas of modernism that roil and rock the Barque of the Church, guided by the Pope between two pillars of Mary and the Blessed Sacrament. Elsewhere, in a mystical allegory, he faces a horrifying, massive snake that becomes strangled in the rope of the Rosary. But when his boys begin to feast on the snake's flesh, he rather has to use a hammer and anvil—Confession and Communion—to bring them back to life. And the most horrid dream of all takes John Bosco, along with his readers, straight to the depths of Hell, more awful than anything he can imagine, where he sees the fate of his poor boys unless he should help them. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe inspired, not terrified, by the dreams of this underrated mystic who saw vividly and almost unbearably the spiritual reality of his exterior actions, showing us that nothing is without deepest and most powerful meaning in the spiritual realm. St. John Bosco shows us that through all of these perils, there is sound hope in the mercy of the All-Loving and All-Powerful God, Who does all He can for us to be saved.", "published_at":"2024-07-09T10:56:53", "created_at":"2024-07-09T10:56:53", "vendor":"TAN BOOKS\/ST.

Only the witness of sanctity can save us now. More than ever, we need heroic men of God like St. Ignatius of Antioch, bishop and martyr of the early Church, whose life and letters Dr. Regis Martin illuminates in these stirring pages. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo other writer of the Apostolic Age has expressed with such passion, such blazing intensity, an ardent thirst for God as St. Ignatius, traveling in chains across Asia Minor toward the Colosseum. In his fervor, St. Ignatius wrote, “I am God’s wheat, and I am being ground by the teeth of wild beats to make a pure loaf for Christ.” He urgently dispatched poignant letters to the faithful along the way from Antioch to Rome, a journey marked by travail but ending in triumph. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these precious testaments, you will discover:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• St. Ignatius’s burning desire for holiness, the secret to true and lasting freedom and happiness\u003cbr\u003e• The source of the bishop’s zeal and his encouragement to the besieged Christians of the early Church\u003cbr\u003e• The saint’s fiery exhortation to the persecuted Church in Rome, where he met his death\u003cbr\u003e• Three universal themes found in St. Ignatius’s letters — and how they apply to us today\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Martin brilliantly weaves the wisdom of spiritual authors — from saints to literary, philosophical, and contemporary witnesses — with his own potent reflections. This book proves that St. Ignatius’s faith was no “bourgeois faith,” with its sniveling insistence on keeping comfort zones undisturbed. Nor was it the mediocre faith of the complacent. Rather, St. Ignatius stood steadfast, like a hard, gemlike flame set ablaze by Christ alone. “Any Christian who is not a hero,” Leon Bloy reminds us, “is a pig.” St. Ignatius was no pig. So where does that leave us?", "published_at":"2024-09-04T15:48:48", "created_at":"2024-09-04T15:48:48", "vendor":"Sophia Institute Press", "type":"BOOK", "tags":["Subject_Saint Specific","Type_Books"], "price":1695, "price_min":1695, "price_max":1695, "price_varies":false, "compare_at_price":null, "compare_at_price_min":0, "compare_at_price_max":0, "compare_at_price_varies":true, "all_variant_ids":[41775432106051], "variants":[{ "id":41775432106051, "product_id":7301212045379, "product_handle":"march-to-martyrdom-st-ignatius", "title":"Default Title", "option1":"Default Title", "option2":null, "option3":null, "sku":"884-0129", "requires_shipping":true, "taxable":true, "featured_image":null,"image_id":null, "available":true, "name":"MARCH TO MARTYRDOM ST IGNATIUS - Default Title", "options":["Default Title"], "price":1695, "weight":180, "compare_at_price":null, "inventory_quantity":3, "inventory_management":"shopify", "inventory_policy":"deny", "inventory_in_cart":0, "inventory_remaining":3, "incoming":false, "next_incoming_date":null, "taxable":true, "barcode":null}], "available":true,"images":["\/\/marytown-press-gift-store.myshopify.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/17219886983954-267159-600x927_1.jpg?v=1727126742"],"featured_image":"\/\/marytown-press-gift-store.myshopify.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/17219886983954-267159-600x927_1.jpg?v=1727126742", "options":["Title"], "url":"\/products\/march-to-martyrdom-st-ignatius" }
