| Description: |
A Theology of Health offers a Christian vision of what it means to be truly healthy, not just in body, but as whole persons created for God's purposes. Tyler J. VanderWeele argues that genuine health is wholeness as God intends, while sin, whether personal wrongdoing, social injustice, or the fallenness of creation, produces disorder and ill health. Restoration comes through salvation in Jesus Christ, lived out in the life of the Church and pointing toward ultimate fulfillment in God's kingdom.
Bridging theology, ethics, and the study of well-being, VanderWeele reveals how understanding health through this lens deepens our grasp of human flourishing and the ends of life itself.
A Theology of Health is an essential work for all who seek a holistic view of health, healing, and the flourishing of the human person in alignment with divine intent. |

| Description: |
In his final months, Pope Francis was preparing an Apostolic Exhortation on the Church's care for the poor. Titled Dilexi Te, it was intended as a follow-up to his last encyclical, Dilexit Nos, and expressed Christ's enduring love for those who suffer.
At the beginning of his pontificate, Pope Leo XIV chose to make this unfinished work his own, adding his reflections to those of his predecessor. He shares Pope Francis's conviction that love for Christ and care for the poor are inseparable.
Dilexi Te affirms that service to the poor is not simply a moral duty but a profound encounter with Christ himself. Through compassion and solidarity, the faithful are called to recognise God's presence in those who are most vulnerable. In this way, the exhortation unites the vision of two popes in a shared appeal for a Church renewed by love, humility, and justice. |

| Description: |
Advent is often described as a time of waiting. But this waiting isn't about frustration or delay, it's a sign of our capacity to grow. Our longing for Christmas reflects our deeper desire for God, and the waiting itself can expand that desire. Drawing on deep theological and biblical insight, Gemma Simmonds shares these ideas in a warm, accessible, and down-to-earth way.
Her daily reflections, from 1-25 December, each begin with a Bible passage and invite readers to explore a daily theme through varied examples and perspectives. Simmonds connects faith to everyday life in 2025, drawing on films, caring for creation, shopping, and other modern experiences, alongside powerful real-life stories. Each reflection offers space for personal prayer and thought, as well as questions for group discussion, making this a rich and relevant companion for the Advent season. |

| Description: |
In this concise biography, Roderick O'Brien invites readers into the remarkable life of Julian Tenison Woods, a Catholic priest, scientist, naturalist and social reformer whose curiosity bridged faith and the emerging sciences of the nineteenth century.
We follow Woods from his English roots to the rugged frontiers of Australia, exploring his pioneering contributions in geology, meteorology and ecology alongside his deep spiritual vision of human dignity and stewardship of creation. As O'Brien charts Woods' encounters with Indigenous communities, colonial society and the Catholic Church, the book reveals a man ahead of his time: committed to scientific observation and humanitarian action, yet anchored in a transcendent purpose.
With clarity and respect, this book offers both inspiration and historical insight for readers interested in the intersection of faith, science and social engagement. A portrait of a lesser-known figure whose legacy still resonates today. |

| Description: |
When Robert Francis Prevost, OSA, appeared on the loggia of St. Peter's on May 8, 2025, few expected to see the first American pope. The American Pope traces Pope Leo's remarkable journey from his Chicago roots to his ministry in Peru and eventual election as leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics.
Veteran journalist Christopher R. Altieri offers a compelling portrait of a quiet, capable man who follows in the spirit of Francis yet seeks to heal a divided Church. Drawing on deep reporting and analysis, Altieri examines the political dynamics of the 2025 conclave, the symbolism of Leo's chosen name, and the immense challenges facing today's Vatican, from financial crisis and governance reform to moral and technological upheaval.
Through this incisive biography, Pope Leo emerges as a humble bridge-builder and skilled canonist whose steady leadership may redefine the modern papacy. |

"A treasure trove of good medicine for the soul." - Parker Palmer
In a time of deep ecological, political, and social upheaval, Soul Medicine for a Fractured World calls us to discover our unique gifts and collective strength. Liza J. Rankow, grassroots activist and spiritual guide, offers a path to live with purpose and compassion amid crisis, not in spite of it. Drawing on the wisdom of "mystic activists" from diverse faith and cultural traditions, Rankow invites readers to participate in the birth of new possibilities rooted in love, justice, and interconnection.
Blending insight, reflection, and practice, this book guides readers toward personal and social transformation grounded in our shared belonging with one another, the Earth, and all life. With practical exercises and questions for reflection, Soul Medicine for a Fractured World becomes both a companion and a catalyst for healing, courage, and renewal in challenging times. |

| Description: |
This book contains the official rites lay ministers will need to bring holy Communion to, and to pray and share the Gospel with, those who cannot regularly worship with their parish community on Sunday. As an extension of the compassionate ministry of Jesus, ministers of care go forth from the Eucharistic celebration so that they may share the Word of God and holy Communion with those who are sick and cannot attend Sunday Mass.
The Catholic Handbook for Visiting the Sick and Homebound compiles in one place all the rites a lay minister needs to perform this ministry with great care and sensitivity. The rites have been adapted for lay ministers and include those for sharing holy Communion and Viaticum, visiting the sick, blessing the sick and those who suffer, and praying with those who are dying.
The Gospel texts for Year A, explanations of the readings, and a list of patron saints for those who are sick and suffering are also included in this resource, allowing ministers to more easily bring the Sunday Gospel to those in need. |

| Description: |
Judith A. Merkle explores the meaning and relevance of religious vows in today's secular world, revealing the kind of faith that can sustain humanity amid modern challenges. She examines how these vows shape personal identity and foster a sense of wholeness within society. Through theological, sociological, and psychological insights, she uncovers the deeper significance of religious life and its role in renewing the Church.
By reflecting on each vow, Merkle shows how religious commitment bridges the sacred and the secular, embodying love of God and service to others. Despite contemporary critiques, religious life emerges here as a vital witness to the values that endure; faith, community, and the hope of the Kingdom of God.
This study invites readers to reconsider the place of vowed life today and the transformative potential it holds for individuals and the wider world. |
