Most guys want to be known as men of action – jumping in to help, to save, to win. But being a man of action means much more to Catholic men, because lives are at stake – ours and those of our family, friends, loved ones – for eternity. That sounds pretty serious. Maybe it seems like too much to bear. In To the Ends of the Earth: Action, author Mark C. McCann shows that you can indeed be a true man of action. He breaks your call to action down into ten of the most fundamental principles of the...
What defines a Catholic man’s character? Is it being brave, or being a peacemaker? Is it intelligence, or talent? Is it success, a beautiful house, a beautiful wife? Is it just being a “good guy”? There’s a simple answer: To be a man of Catholic character is to imitate Christ. Before you say, “Who, me?” listen to author Mark C. McCann, who says that it’s not only possible, it’s the meaning of Catholic manhood. To the Ends of the Earth: Character guides you through ten essential Christlike...

What is this evidence? Christ has touched your life, and you will never be the same. In To the Ends of the Earth: Witness, author Mark...
Серия представляет собой тематические подборки высказываний Псково-Печерских старцев. Псково-Печерское старчество – это особое явление, так как преемство от старца к ученику никогда не прерывалось.

Начало, основание и вершина духовной жизни в Православии – сугубое покаяние. Это тот самый трудный и узкий путь, по которому нам завещал идти Спаситель. На этом пути возникает у нас множество препятствий, преткновений, недоумений. И вот – прославленный русский святитель Игнатий (Брянчанинов), глубокий и тонкий знаток человеческой души, сам прошедший скорбный путь покаяния и теперь молящий Бога о нас, грешных, преподает нам бесценные уроки.
Почему люди обращаются к магии, а не ищут единого источника благополучия – Бога? Повальное увлечение заговорами, разными гаданиями, «чудесами» экстрасенсов, астрологией характерно не только для неверующих, но и части людей, которые считают себя православными.

Какие опасности таит в себе увлечение магией, как не...
