A Candle For Our Lady by Regina Victoria Hunt

A Candle For Our Lady audio book is set during the reign of Henry VIII, a very dark time for Catholics in England, when the hated Thomas Cromwell had the ear of the king. Two children, Jemmy and Joan Reynolds, set out to make a pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady at Walshingham, their biggest problem at the moment lies in deciding on what offering to bring to Our Lady. Joan comes up with the idea of presenting her with a great, fine candle, hence the title of the book. The pair set out upon a thrilling journey which eventually brings Jem face to face with the crafty Cromwell and King Henry himself. What happens when they meet a cunning stranger on the way to the shrine and later when Jem attempts to rescue a friend from Cromwell’s power are some of the exciting developments that make A Candle For Our Lady interesting and fast paced. True history and authentic background are woven into this story which provides a taste of the struggles English Catholics knew in a time when cruelty and greed ruled the land.

A Crown for Joanna by Sister Mary Jean Dorcy

She was born a princess, heir to her father’s kingdom of Portugal, and she might at will have reigned from almost any throne in Europe. But instead of this, she made what to her world seemed a thoroughly mad choice – for she chose to have a throne in heaven. Today those scepters are dust which she would not accept, and as Blessed Joanna of Portugal she possesses a throne imperishable….. A Crown for Joanna is a children’s biography of Blessed Joanna of Portugal and was written by Sister Mary Jean Dorcy, a Catholic Dominican Nun. The author is probably best known for her exquisitely intricate paper cutting silhouettes, with which she illustrated her books.

A Royal Son and Mother by Pauline von Hugel

A Royal Son and Mother tells the story of the devout and long-suffering “Apostle of the Alleghenies”, as Fr. Demetrius Augustine Gallitzin came to be known. Born the son of noble parents, Prince Dimitri Alexeievich, a Russian ambassador to the Netherlands, and the Prussian Countess Adelheid Amalie von Schmettau, Dimitri’s early life was one of inherited privilege . He was raised Russian Orthodox, lived very nominally by his family. However, in his teens his mother returned to the Faith of her youth, and Dimitri influenced greatly by her circle of friends, intellectuals, and priests, converted to the Catholic Faith, following her miraculous recovery from a serious illness. Although the ambassador had planned a military career for his son and had sent him to America for an education, he was shocked to learn that his son had renounced his inheritance and had entered a seminary instead. Demetrius was ordained a Catholic priest in 1795 and devoted his life to ministering to the pioneers of rural Maryland and Pennsylvania. Braving every sort of danger and forgoing personal comfort, he established numerous missions in remote settlements across the Allegheny frontier. During his years as pastor in Loretto, Pennsylvania, his spiritual children grew in number from a dozen to over ten thousand. The story of this mother and son is a beautiful tale, like many seen through the ages, of a devout mother , holy and good, and the ensuing strong Faith of her child, who learned from the hand that rocked their cradle to love the Good God and serve him to heights of holiness that affected many.

A Story of Love by Francis Cassilly

Not a “love story”, A Story of Love, is rather the story of love, the love of God, which He has for each of us, and the experience of its beauty and wonder when we unify ourselves to Our Divine Creator. As Father Cassilly explains, this love, which every man and woman was created to experience, is an ardor so intense and fulfilling that it scarcely seems possible to grasp, yet one that is offered to every human person who opens his heart and mind to its beauty and wonder. He shows how this ultimate love is the basis of all true love that we experience and how it introduces itself at the beginning of our lives and faithfully endures throughout our lives, leading to its ultimate fulfillment at the end of our earthly pilgrimage.

A Treatise on the True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin by St. Louis-Marie Grignon De Montfort

Considered by many to be the greatest single book of Marian spirituality ever written, A Treatise on the True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin, is St. Louis de Montfort’s classic statement on the spiritual way to Jesus Christ though the Blessed Virgin Mary. In this volume Montfort goes through the various aspects of this devotion explaining what is true devotion and outlining what is false devotion, explaining that devotion to Mary is not an optional devotion like any other devotion to the Saints. He boldly claims that devotion to Mary is necessary in becoming a living image of Christ in this world, making no distinction between devotion to Mary and devotion to Jesus. In this book the Saint invites those that are capable of understanding this devotion to embark on a journey of entering more deeply into the inner life of Jesus and Mary and by so doing to grow in holiness. Included are a series of meditations and prayers that assist in making a consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
