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.

He shows that Freemasonry is a religion of naturalism and aims at promoting naturalism and human reason over the influence of the Church upon society, especially in the secularizing of marriage and education. Through portraying itself as a friend and benefactor of all mankind, Freemasonry actually denigrates God, Jesus Christ, monotheism and religion, and works to nullify the effect of all religion–but especially the Catholic religion– upon society and individuals. It accomplishes this end by fostering indifference to religion and the idea that one religion is as good as another, but also through immorality, which destroys a person's idealism and respect for truth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery importantly, the author discusses the Catholic confusion about Freemasonry dating from the 1970's, showing that the Church has not changed her traditional stance against the cult. The book includes the latest declaration from Rome regarding Freemasonry, and tells Catholics in Freemasonry what they should do to rectify their situation. It also discusses the remarkable similarities between Freemasonry and the New Age Movement, how Masonry is linked to ancient paganism and to the mafia, and how it includes a little-known statement from St. Maximilian Kolbe regarding Freemasonry's main strategy against Catholicism–plus St. Maximilian's inspired counter-strategy. A series of brief, enlightening Appendices rounds out the picture this book draws of Freemasonry–which it clearly portrays as evil–so that in the end, one has an excellent understanding of exactly what is wrong with Freemasonry and just why a Catholic may not join it.", "published_at":"2015-12-09T12:02:00", "created_at":"2015-05-26T14:12:53", "vendor":"TAN BOOKS\/ST.
