Handbook of Prayers (Student Edition)

Stephen Michael DiGiovanni

On October 14, 1953, Pope Pius XII presided over the dedication of the new Pontifical North American College seminary on the Janiculum Hill above Saint Peter’s Basilica. Nearly one hundred years had passed since the seminary’s founding, and the Pope considered the new campus’ completion “a stronger flame of hope for the Church in the United States of America and in the world.” Devotion to the Holy Father, the grace of priestly ordination, and a solid training in the Church’s teachings were the three treasures that young men trained at the “NAC” brought back with them to the United States as priests. In this follow-up to Father Robert McNamara’s monumental work, The American College in Rome, 1855–1955, Monsignor Stephen M. DiGiovanni advances the history of the College over the next quarter century. The American students in the 1950s were not the same as those who had lived in the old seminary during the previous century. The world was very different after numerous revolutions, social upheavals, and two world wars. Other forces were at work as well, including some changes just beginning to take place in American society, which would become radically and publicly manifest on American university and seminary campuses during the next decades—even in Rome. If prior to the Second Vatican Council everything was clear and regimented, then during and after the Council less and less was clear-cut or well-defined on the “Hill of Janus.” In fact, few could have predicted the aggiornamento or “updating” that was on the horizon that would profoundly reshape, for better or worse, the NAC and its future priests.

Aggiornamento on the Hill of Janus

Fernando Ocariz

From the Prologue: "We are pleased to present this revised edition of Revelation, Faith, and Credibility which was first published in 1998. . . . "We renew our desire that it will be useful for students of theology and for all those who are interested in studying the fundamentals of the Catholic Faith. Furthermore, it is our hope that it will lead the reader to a profound Christian awareness that cooperates with the grace of God in sustaining the Faith, lends reason to our hope, and helps others to receive this great gift of knowing and loving Christ."

Fundamental Theology

Guillaume Derville

This collection of meditations brings the reader inside the mind of St. Josemaria Escriva as he prays. It draws from St. Josemaria’s expansive body of work and author Fr. Guillaume Derville's personal experiences as a friend and follower of St. Josemaria. This collection weaves a fascinating portrayal of how St. Josemaria entered into the Gospels to develop personal relationships with Jesus, Mary, and others. "It is exciting that these meditations will now be available in English. They bring alive the explosive and transforming Love contained in the Gospels." -Translator Justin Gillespie St. Josemaria Escriva was born in Spain in 1902 and was ordained a priest in 1926. In 1928, he received the divine inspiration to found Opus Dei, a Catholic organization of lay people and priests who try to grow close to God through their ordinary lives. St. Josemaria died in 1975 and was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2002.

Enrique Muñiz

“Wanting Jesus Alone to Shine” is a biography of the founder of Opus Dei illustrated with more than 300 photos, maps, infographics and autograph texts. The authors, Jesús Gil and Enrique Muñiz, desire to offer a biography in which the images allow readers to enter into the life of Saint Josemaria: not only to learn about his experiences intellectually, but also to share in some of the feelings that accompanied these experiences.
