Hope After SuicideHope After SuicideDeath by suicide is sadly at pandemic proportions, killing more people every year than war and homicide combined. While many people know that the Church condemns suicide as a grave sin, few people know that the Church does not teach that a person who commits suicide is automatically condemned to hell. As Fr. Chris Alar, MIC shares in this insightful talk (based upon his book, After Suicide, given an imprimatur), while suicide remains grave and tragic, we must never despair of God's mercy, and we must know that our prayers can powerfully help those who have taken their own lives, and those who have been left behind. |

How to Love YourselfHow to Love YourselfThe words that we speak to ourselves shape our self-perception; how we see ourselves, and how we act. Despite being told perhaps more than any other generation to love and believe in themselves, this generation struggles more than any other with anxiety, self-loathing, and low self-esteem. In this talk, speaker and author Chris Stefanick tackles the lies which hold us captive to these struggles, and boldly shares the Good News of Jesus Christ—that Love Himself has come to redeem us, and destined us for eternal glory. |

Purgatory: Our Forgotten FamilyPurgatory: Our Forgotten FamilyWhat is Purgatory? Does it exist? Does it matter? As professor and speaker Dr. Mark Miravalle explains, not only is the doctrine of Purgatory true, and deeply rooted in Sacred Scripture and Tradition, but the practice of offering prayers and sacrifices for the souls of the dead is a critically important responsibility for every member of the Body of Christ—the family of the Church. |

From Slave to PriestFrom Slave to PriestBorn a slave in Missouri, Fr. Augustine Tolton became the first African-American priest in the U.S., where he was much loved by the people and showed great priestly zeal. This story of Fr. Tolton’s courage in the face of incredible prejudice within the Church and society will be a source of strength and hope for modern Christians who face persecution for their faith. Also included is an interview with Bishop Joseph Perry, in which he outlines the ongoing cause for the canonization of Fr. Tolton. Few stories are as moving and as exciting as that of Fr. Tolton.

The Shot Heard 'Round the WorldThe Shot Heard 'Round the WorldIn this gripping presentation, Fr. Andrew Fisher narrates the assassination attempt of Saint John Paul the Great. The Shot Heard 'Round the World is the story of the suffering of Pope John Paul II, as well as Our Lady's intercession during this attempt on the Holy Father's life. Fr. Andrew Fisher is a native of Northern Virginia and a pastor in the Diocese of Arlington. I thought it was very interesting on how the assassination attempt on JPII had so many unique things about it- it fulfilled a prophecy from Our Lady of Fatima and there were many unlikely events that happened that allowed JPII to live afterwards.

Rising Above: From Tragedy to TriumphRising Above: From Tragedy to TriumphAt nine years old, John O'Leary was involved in a horrific incident and was given only a one percent change to survive. Today, nearly three decades later, he travels the world teaching others how to truly live. In this presentation, John draws on his life's experience to intimately illustrate how God often uses our greatest challenges to positively transform our lives. My kids and I LOVED this CD because it was impactful and gave us the opportunity to define the word FAITH. John not only defines faith and lovevin his talk, but also gives examples of them. Now my 5 year old now can repeat the definition of faith, and I as a mother try to explain that definition in our every day lives. John's talk is helping me teach my kids the Catholic faith and love. Thank you! Nelly - Fort Irwin, CA |

Love Hurts: The Truth Behind Redemptive SufferingLove Hurts: The Truth Behind Redemptive SufferingIn this presentation, Matthew Leonard focuses on the new idea of love proclaimed by Christ and how it gives meaning to human suffering, penance, and ultimately death. Sounds a bit dark, doesn't it? But it's not! By looking at these issues we'll discover the secret to how we can "Rejoice in the Lord always" just like St. Paul, no matter what happens. I always wondered if God truly loved us why did he allow us to suffer so much. I understand this now. Are suffering is for our own good. I need to learn from my suffering and become a better person. Not only is this good for me because I learned something but I can also offer this suffering up to God. When I feel I am suffering unjustly I will now look to the cross and offer it up to God and remember this Cd and the lessons I have learned. Thank you I already know who I am sharing it with.

Whether it is physical, emotional, or spiritual, it will test our faith. Internationally known speaker Jeff Cavins shares personal insights he gained through his own physical pain. He shows us how we can join our sufferings with those of Jesus on the cross, bringing renewed meaning to the suffering we experience in our lives. Jeff gave a new insight into suffering .he has helped me by giving many Scriptures to show we are called to share our suffering in Christ...His experience with his own pain gave him 'on hand' knowledge of God's Peace when he offered his pain for his daughter. Very moving and healing. He also referred to the Catechism and gave the numbers for us to look up and study along with the many Scriptures. I feel this information and Prayer will help many to begin using pain as Redemptive suffering giving us a deep Peace as we give our pain to our Lord . Mary - Rialto, CA |
