  • By Fr. Donald F. Miller

    This book contains a broad look at the many different facets of spirituality a shut-in may face. Included in this book are sections on the spiritual outlook, virtues and vices, companionship in illness, for worries and fears, and seasonal reflections. Each section of the book not only reaches out to shut-ins, but to the everyday person as well. For the one thing that none of us want is to shut out God.

  • by Rev. T. Hegemann, S.J. Impr 1928.

    "The search for happiness has taken men far afield of the haunts of happiness. But men do not too often go so far afield as a sick bed, a bed of pain. To the "practical" man, the man of "facts and figures," pain is a useless troublemaker, certainly not a means of happiness. To Father Hegemann, who has in this pamphlet borrowed from the saints and from heaven itself, pain is the means toward that eternally-haunted seemingly elusive happiness. Chapters in this 31 page pamphlet include: How to Suffer, Make Your Confession, Last Hours, Prayers Before and After Confession and Holy Communion, etc. The Appendix contains a delightful chapter "The True Religion of Christ" and will be a powerful tool for conversion.

  • It often happens that Christians from unavoidable impediments, may be unable to hear Mass on Sundays and holydays of obligation. Causes may excuse bodily presence, but do not dispense us from uniting ourselves in spirit to those who actually enjoy the happiness of being in God’s holy temple. Includes the Method of Hearing Mass Spiritually for the Absent, Prayers during the time of Divine Service, for those who are hindered from attending the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in church, and Act of Union with the Sacrifice of the Mass, when we cannot assist at it.

  • From the original of Rev. Jos. Aloysius Kreb, C.SS.R.

    From the Preface:
    Manuals for the sick, containing instructions on the best way of tending and assisting the sick and dying, and of helping them to sanctify sickness and death in a truly Christian manner, are certainly not wanting. But I know of no book expressly destined for sick-nurses, and in particular for religious who devote themselves to the care of the sick. And yet it is of great importance that they should clearly discern what a sublime and blessed, but at the same time difficult, task they have to fulfill, and how they should accomplish it. With this view the present work has been undertaken. It deals in detail with the care of the sick as a vocation, and gives instructions on the best way to render spiritual assistance to the sick and dying. The books treats only of the spiritual care of the sick and in the sense of the Catholic Church; the care of the body is not included, because it is supposed that the sick-nurses already possess all necessary knowledge of this.

  • Guarding the Soul Against Sin by Rev. John J. Williams, S.J.

    Impr, 1923. 169 page book.

    “Oh, the value of a human soul!” The purpose of this book is to contribute in some degree to the success of the Spiritual Exercises, in their God-given work of teaching men the value of a human soul. By presenting anecdotes and passages of Holy Scripture in keeping with the Exercise under consideration, new food for reflection will be presented, without diverting the mind from the actual stage of the retreat. While this treatise might serve as a handbook for a private retreat, its primary object is to provide matter for reading at meals, when the Exercises are given to a number of exercitants.

  • Or, Sick-Calls from the Diary of a Missionary Priest.

    Originally printed in 1891 by P.J. Kennedy. 366 page book.

    Consists of 16 different stories of dying penitents. The stories are diverse to include the rich banker, the poor, the drunkard, the miser, the wanderer, the burglar and 10 others. Each story is told as a novel and each is replete with Catholic lessons to be learned about the moral pitfalls that can happen in life and the effect on dying penitent. One customer told us, "these stories are more exciting than any movie or sports game, yet with spiritual benefits as a bonus!"

    One of our staff members said:
    "These stories are so touching they brought me to tears as I read them."

    This Preparation for Death was not originally intended for publication. The Rev. Father Bauduin revised it each month for his own personal use. "Come, come, O Mary, come and take me."

    May you, devout reader, be faithful in the regular observance of making this preparation for death every month, and you, like its author, will reap inestimable fruits at your last hour, and in heaven for all eternity.

  • It has long been the desire of the writer to make a better translation and to make better known the exquisite “Prayers for the Dying.” Few ever read them. Most hear them only when their minds are distracted and their hearts are being torn by the parting of a loved one. Sermons on death are so often filled with dread and fear. Yet in these official prayers of the Church there is nothing but the tenderness that can come only from a mother’s touch, that can be heard only in a mother’s voice. All is consoling; all is hopeful.
