Dear Friends, In Chapter 48 of his Rule, Saint Benedict encourages monastics to see sacred reading as part of their daily “manual labor,” including committing to a particular book each Lent. Sister Judith Sutera, OSB, notes that sacred or divine reading (lectio divina) is “not an add-on that one does when there’s spare time around other responsibilities, it is something that has its own designated slot on the agenda” (St. Benedict’s Rule: An Inclusive Translation and Daily Commentary, Liturgical Press, 2021).

As a parish minister, I have always considered it a responsibility and privilege to connect (busy) parishioners with books and resources to help them reflect and grow, not unlike what Saint Benedict envisioned. While the needs of parishioners are diverse, our Spring 2025 Parish Resources Catalog contains a variety of possibilities to help parishioners read, pray, share, and grow in faith.

For biblical reflection and spiritual growth, don’t miss our popular pocket-sized daily reflection books for Lent and Easter or our books from Amy Ekeh, Bonnie Thurston, Virginia Herbers, Micah Kiel, Patrick Hartin, Friar Daniel Chowning, OCD, and Isaac Slater, OCSO. Each in their own way, these resources break open the healing ministry of Jesus, the passion narratives, the lives of our biblical friends, and our own longing for personal and social transformation in our polarized world.

This catalog also showcases important new resources to support parish ministers and ministries, including liturgical and initiation ministries (from Living Liturgy to our recent ritual books), communication ministries, trauma-informed pastoral care, and social concerns ministries; as well as continued reflection on synodality, the abuse crisis, and analysis of our ever-changing church and social life.

God bless you in your ministry with all God’s People,

Gifts from Friends We Never Wanted

Be Transformed A Biblical Journey toward a More Just World

Biblical Journeys of Grace Virginia Herbers “In a world that continues to encourage us to be perfect, Virginia writes about the graces received through the times and seasons that we may want to ignore.

Instead of wishing our struggles away, she invites us, through our heroes of Scripture, to consider how we are ‘blessed in the mess’ of our daily lives.”

Danielle Harrison, retreat director and principal, Mission Faith Equity Consulting “This book is a warm conversation with a wise friend who helps us notice in the gospels, our own lives, and everyday challenges, how much the gifts of love and grace abound.”

Melody S. Gee, author of We Carry Smoke and Paper: Essays on the Grief and Hope of Conversion

Micah D. Kiel “If you were to ask a scripture scholar, a storyteller, a teacher, and a faithful Catholic how we are called to live as disciples of Christ, this book is the energetic and hopeful response.”

Alison M. Benders, Emerita Jesuit School of Theology Santa Clara University and author of Just Prayer “Dr. Kiel has given a great and prophetic gift to the whole church, a calling to be more audacious in our personal and social commitments to peace and justice, to be less comfortable in our certainty and material wealth, and to be compassionate especially to those deemed untouchable or marginal by society.”

Eucharistic Reservation Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery outside Mass Paul Turner In eucharistic adoration, the faithful spend time in the presence of Christ, who in turn is present to them. In communion services, the faithful unable to participate in the sacrifice of the Mass can still receive its fruit. In Eucharistic Reservation, Paul Turner explains the new translation of these guidelines and refreshes all those who find delight in the eucharistic presence of Christ even when Mass is over.

The Future of Synodality How We Move Forward from Here Kristin M.

The Soul Also Keeps the Score A Trauma-Informed Companion to the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Robert McChesney, SJ In this pioneering work, McChesney interprets the classic sixteenth-century mystical text of the Spiritual Exercises as born in violence to the body and soul of their author, the traumatized, battle-wounded-turned-saint, Ignatius of Loyola. Whether you are a spiritual, pastoral, or mental health professional, member of the care circle, or wounded seeker, The Soul Also Keeps the Score unlocks a treasure trove of fresh insight and hope.

“Fr. McChesney has crafted a sturdy and engaging vessel, navigating the turbulent waters among disciplines in the service of that most Ignatian of goals: to help souls.”

Healed by Love Contemplation as a Path of Healing according to St. John of the Cross Daniel Chowning, OCD God has planted in our hearts an insatiable longing to love and be loved, that is, to love God, others, and creation with the very love of God. We know, however, from our human experience, that we fail to love as we desire with all our heart.

In Healed by Love, Carmelite Friar Daniel Chowning, urges those in need of healing to seek refuge in the spiritual doctrine of St. John of the Cross.

“Healed by Love is a masterpiece of the integration of our Lord’s healing ministry captured in Catholic biblical theology, St. John of the Cross’s Carmelite mysticism, and solid contemporary psychology grounded in the truths of Catholic anthropology.”

Accountability, Healing, and Trust Interdisciplinary Reflections for Ministry in the Midst of the Catholic Sex Abuse Crisis Edited by Kimberly Hope Belcher and David A. Clairmont By carefully listening to the words and wisdom of survivors, this volume focuses on ways forward in the work of creating an atmosphere of accountability, healing, and trust in today’s church.

“Accountability, Healing, and Trust engenders hope, doing so through respect for the needs of survivors, honest confrontation with the sinfulness and failure that blight many aspects of the ecclesial community, and a commitment to the conversion that the church’s prayer and worship engender. This is a challenging book, but a necessary one.”
