This book garnered rave reviews upon its publication in 1862, even from an Anglican-dominated secular press. The "London Art Review" praised its "One hundred and twelve wood engravings, well executed, after the original designs of a distinguished artist of the Dusseldorf school," despite its object "to inculcate the doctrines of Romanism." With stunning black and white engravings on every page, "A Pictorial Catechism" seeks to teach the laws of Christ and His Church with images portraying biblical scenes. The Apostle's Creed, the Ten Commandments, the Commandments of the Church, Sin, Virtue, the Sacraments and Prayer are all brought to life with these vivid illustrations and quotes from Scripture pertaining to the precepts being taught. In this way, not only does it instruct; at the same time, it demonstrates the biblical basis for each teaching. Highly recommended in its day by a who's who of Church authorities, including Cardinal Wiseman, we have carefully restored these engravings and have improved the original layout of the book, grouping the subjects into clearly demarcated sections. The table of contents displays the tenets to be learned, while an index helps the reader find images in chronological order as they are found in the Bible. Best of all, the engravings make perfect coloring pages for children.

This First Holy Communion catechism was designed specifically with young traditional Catholic children in mind. It was put together by a Catholic author of many books, as well as founder of St. Jerome Library, and homeschooling mother of nine (with the help of her children). It was also looked over by priests for errors. This mother's hope was to design a catechism filled with beautiful full-color pictures which could better explain the beautiful mysteries of our Catholic faith without the errors that are increasingly popping up in modern day "catechisms". She found that often children are visual learners, and this catechism helps immensely with the honorable task of training children for their reception of Penance, Confirmation, and Holy Communion. This catechism is filled with pictures detailing common prayers: The Apostles' Creed, the Our Father, the Hail Mary, as well as others. It contains pictures and explanations of the seven sacraments, the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost, the Ten Commandments, and basic catechism often required in preparation for a child receiving these marvelous gifts from Our Lord. It also includes Instructions for Confession. This catechism would also be a great tool for preschoolers in helping them learn their prayers and understanding truths of the Faith. Perfect for homeschooling or teaching Kindergartners and 1st Graders. May God bless you in all your efforts to help raise saints for Heaven.Praised be Jesus and Mary!

Even three hundred years ago, believers found it difficult to sustain for forty days the proper Lenten spirit. That's why even then, countless Christians turned to the writings of Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet (1627-1704), whose great piety and simple eloquence won him renown as one of the greatest preachers of his time. From Bishop Bossuet's sermons and spiritual writings, believers drew ever greater Lenten wisdom and strength. Now translator Christopher Blum has selected from Bishop Bossuet's voluminous works fifty brief but remarkably powerful meditations that complement the daily readings at Mass during the Lenten season, thus offering to us the perfect companion for a thoughtful and fruitful Lent. If you read and meditate briefly on just one of them each day in Lent, I guarantee that this good French bishop's eloquence will soon have you not merely remembering the events of Christ's journey to His Crucifixion; it will have you spiritually walking with Him on that journey . . . which is precisely what we are called to do in Lent! With Bossuet, this Lent you will find yourself saying, "O Jesus! I present myself to you to make my journey in your company. O my Savior, receive your traveler! Here I am ready, holding on to nothing. Let me go with You to the Father." That's the fire that should burn in the heart of all Christians. This Lent, let Bishop Bossuet enkindle it in yours. Among the Meditations: God Alone Suffices Pray to God in Secret The Truth and the Life Tempted in the Desert The Sign of Jonah Love Your Enemies This Is My Beloved Son And You Will Be Forgiven The Wicked Tenants In Spirit and in Truth The Silence of Christ Priest, Prophet, and King Our Life, a Journey to God The Great Commandment I Was Hungry and You Fed Me The Love of God for Repentant Sinners Up to Jerusalem God, the Life of the Soul The Witness of the Baptist The Raising of Lazarus Jesus Is Persecuted The True Messiah The Anointing The Betrayal The Eucharist The Passion The Brevity of Life Washed of Our Sins A Sign of Contradiction No Man Ever Spoke Like This Man The Entry of Our Lord into Jerusalem To Unite Ourselves with Christ
