The Art of Divine Love Or Berthe Petit


Book Description

In India, Devotion to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary began in 1952 through the instrumentality of Father Louis M. Shouriah, S.J. He was miraculously cured from grave heart trouble by Our Lady. When he asked the Blessed Virgin Mary how he could best show his gratitude for this unsolicited favor, the response was, "Spread the Devotion to my Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart in your country." The Rev. Louis M. Shouriah adapted the writings of Rev. I. Duffner and added his own research and thoughts in this unique book on the Messages from the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the Devotion to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, which also includes a short biography of His messenger, Berthe Petit. Jesus tells Berthe Petit, 'Recourse to my Mother under the title I wish for her universally, is the last help I shall give before the end of time.' Some black and white photos; Imprimatur; Nihil Obstat.

The Devotion and Promotion of Stigmatics in Europe, C. 1800-1950


Book Description

"In the nineteenth century a new type of mystic emerged in Catholic Europe. While cases of stigmatisation had been reported since the thirteenth century, this era witnessed the development of the 'stigmatic': young women who attracted widespread interest thanks to the appearance of physical stigmata. To understand the popularity of these stigmatics we need to regard them as the 'saints' and religious 'celebrities' of their time. With their 'miraculous' bodies, they fit contemporary popular ideas (if not necessarily those of the Church) of what sanctity was. As knowledge about them spread via modern media and their fame became marketable, they developed into religious 'celebrities'"--

Catholic Prophecy


Book Description

Shortly after Vatican II many began to speculate that we might be in the 'end times' and that prophecies were being fulfilled. Some speculated that the Three Days of Darkness may be near or that Antichrist was already on earth. Yves DUpont assembled many prophecies, including some that refer to a comet striking the earth. With Comet Kahoutek in 1972, many thought this might be the one, but it wasn't. With the deterioration of morals in the world many believe that these prophetic days may be close.
