The oldest monastic Rule in the WestA giant of the faith, St. Augustine is well known as "the restless searcher for truth." His life and the Rule he formulated have had enduring influence on the Christian ideal of the religious life. This is a new, modern English translation of the Rule from the original critical Latin text. An extensive Commentary elucidates its meaning and its relevance to those who follow or study it today.Augustine's concise spiritual directions, based heavily on the Scriptures, cover such subjects as prayer, love and community, mutual responsibility, service, authority and obedience. He outlines the basics for exercising genuine love, the goal of all things -- indeed life itself. This brief but classic guide is as inspiring and applicable to the twentieth century as it was to Augustine's early followers. It clearly reflects his own vision and spiritual depth. As Van Bavel observes in his Introduction: "We could characterize the Rule of Augustine as a call to the evangelical equality of all people. It voices the Christian demand to bring all men and women into full community."The Rule of St. Augustine is, indeed, a Rule for all Christians -- religious and laity alike.

The "Apostle of Rome," the "Reformer of the Church," the "Saint of Christian Joy"--these and many other titles are given to Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595). A priest at the age of thirty-six, he never ceased to bring to Rome and the world the fire of the Holy Spirit that burned in his heart. In 15 Days of Prayer with Philip Neri, you will discover a joyful companion who lived out his baptismal call with spiritual intensity and pastoral charity. Canonized in 1622 along with St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis Xavier and St. Teresa of Avila, he is celebrated on May 26.

Vandeur's The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass serves as an important testament to the grandeur and magnificence of the Mass. In the modern era, marked by an increasing trend of secularisation and heightened participation of the laity in the Mass, this profound meditation proves vital for the clergy and faithful throughout the Catholic Church. As it elucidates the splendour, glory, and thanksgiving inherent in this sacred rite, it also delves into the mystical beauty underpinning the themes of forgiveness and mercy within the Holy Mass, imparted by Our Lord. The text is structured in concise chapters, each devoted to an examination of select liturgical phrases. Whether you wish to bring this book along as a companion to Mass or meditate upon the various aspects of Holy Sacrifice at some other time, Vandeur's work will help you to ascend the Ladder of Sanctity, from the first step, 'In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost', to the last, 'And the Word Was Made Flesh'.
