Audiobooks narrated by Kevin Gallagher

The way to perfection is simple-to unite one's will with God's, putting into action the prayer "Thy will be done." In this precious short work, Uniformity with God's Will, St. Alphonsus Liguori explains the importance of conforming one's will to God's and how to do so; how God is glorified by our resignation to His will even more than by our acts; how to gain peace of mind and serenity by trusting in God, accepting what He wills for our lives and following His commands. This little gem will bring consolation to anyone facing despair over the circumstances of their lives.

The Story of the Church: From Pentecost to Modern Times

No nation, institution, empire, or dynasty has helped shape the world more than the Catholic Church. Armies have marched upon one another. Kings have risen and fallen. Ideological and political movements have taken hold of entire continents. Diseases and plagues have ravished millions. And through it all, Holy Mother Church has endured, standing as the one source of light in a world so often covered by shadows. In this thrilling narrative, Phillip Campbell, author of the best-selling The Story of Civilization series, takes children on a journey through Church history, beginning at Pentecost when Peter and the other apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit and preached in the streets of Jerusalem, all the way through the pontificate of John Paul II and into modern times. Campbell’s storybook style brings the narrative to life for young listeners, taking them back in time and awakening a love and appreciation for history. Children will discover: - The triumphs and struggles of the early Church - The heroic stories of the martyrs - Popes who helped shape Church teaching through encyclicals and councils, including Leo XIII, Pius IX, and John Paul II - Crusaders who fought for Christendom - Marian apparitions like Guadalupe, Lourdes, and Fatima - How events like the Protestant Reformation, the Avignon Papacy, and the Second Vatican Council affected the Church and the world. - An army of saints who witnessed to Christ, including Benedict, Augustine, Francis, Dominic, Elizabeth of Hungary, Catherine of Siena, Thomas More, The Little Flower, Maximilian Kolbe, and more. Through it all, young listeners will see how the Church remained in the world but not of it, surviving wars, heresies, and the rule of tyrants, and keeping her arms spread ever open to welcome wounded souls into the Body of Christ.

In the mid-1990s, a clandestine group of high-ranking churchmen began gathering in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Opposed to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the circle plotted a revolution in stealth. By 2015, their secret ached to be told. Before an audience, Cardinal Godfried Danneels joked of being a part of a 'mafia.'

The Passion: Reflections on the Suffering and Death of Jesus Christ

In this devotional treasure, you'll find forty daily reflections on the passion and death of Our Lord. Each day's reflection-suitable for Lent or for any time of the year-includes a scriptural text, a meditation, a brief prayer, and an excerpt from the visions of two celebrated Catholic mystics: Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824) and Venerable Maria de Agreda (1602-1665). In these reflections, you'll watch with Jesus as He prays in the Garden of Gethsemane ... grieve beside Him as He stands trial ... climb with Him on the way to Calvary ... mourn with His Blessed Mother at the foot of the Cross. You'll also ponder the roles of other figures in this sorrowful drama: not only Mary, but also Peter and Judas, Herod and Pilate, Simon the Cyrene and Dismas the Good Thief ... and, of course, Satan, whose hope of victory over Jesus is dashed in the end. Do you want to advance from virtue to virtue, from grace to grace? Are you seeking the entire sanctification of your soul? These are the rewards, insists St. Bonaventure, of those who meditate frequently on the sufferings of Christ.
