ˇViva Cristo Rey!ˇViva Cristo Rey!

ˇViva Cristo Rey! is Ann’s first bi-lingual book. Blessed Miguel Pro, SJ, was beatified as a martyr, but it is his heart, in addition to his blood, that marks his holiness. In this 36 page booklet, using many of his own words, Ann opens the heart and outlines the message of Father Pro. His message is taken from the heart and soul of the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayers for PrisonersPrayers for Prisoners

Jesus always had special concern for those in prison. After all, throughout history, some of Jesus’ best friends have been prisoners for one reason or another. And in a certain sense, we are all prisoners — trapped in our own sins, our worldly desires, and the sheer ordinariness of our lives. 

For every prisoner, on either side of the iron bars, this book brings hope. These prayers remind us that, prisoners though we may be, Jesus promised us His truth would set us free.

From the Foreword by Most Reverend Robert J. Baker, Bishop of Charleston, South Carolina:

"This book, Prayers for Prisoners, should be welcomed by many people, inside and outside prison walls.

In some way all of us are prisoners, locked in prisons of our own, or other people’s, making. We may be shackled by fears, addictions, negative attitudes, hostilities stemming from past experiences, inordinate attachments to people or material possessions, obsessions, bad habits, long-standing attractions to one or another form of evil, or just plain sin in general.

Though these meditations and prayers are directed mainly to prison inmates, they have a universal appeal."

Catholic Encyclopedia for ChildrenCatholic Encyclopedia for Children 

This kid-friendly resource is the ideal read-aloud text for kids in kindergarten through second-grade. It’s one that has third-and fourth-graders happily proclaiming, “I can read it myself!” 

Unlike most encyclopedias, the format is similar to a storybook, with information presented in a topical style rather than alphabetically. Whether they’re listening or reading, youngsters will keep an eye out for “Icthus,” the friendly fish who acts as their guide throughout.
