Sheen\u003c\/b\u003e (1895–1979) was one of the most renowned Catholic priests of the twentieth century. An eminent scholar, prolific author, and natural entertainer, Sheen provided insight into the truth and beauty of the Catholic faith for millions around the world through his scores of books and countless radio and television programs. His cause for canonization was opened in 2002, and in 2012 Pope Benedict XVI declared him “Venerable.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/strong\u003e 290pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 978-1685951887\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cluny Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44045786054875,"sku":"978-1685951887","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/2329\/5645\/products\/ProductImages_5.5x8.5--843.jpg?v=1680656716"},{"product_id":"the-living-thoughts-of-saint-paul","title":"The Living Thoughts of Saint Paul","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy Jacques Maritain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e“I want to hear a Saint converse,” \u003c\/b\u003eexclaims John Henry Newman in his sketch of Saint John Chrysostom: “I am not content to look at him as a statue; his words are the index of his hidden life, as far as that life can be known to man, for ‘out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e’\u003c\/span\u003e” Laboring under the same inspiration, Jacques Maritain presents \u003ci\u003eThe Living Thoughts of Saint Paul\u003c\/i\u003e, a compilation of the Apostle’s principal texts paired with illuminating commentary by Maritain himself.

With confidence and compassion, Pie-Raymond Régamey, O.P., examines the precise nature of poverty, considering both its material sense in the absence of tangible goods and its spiritual sense in the possession of the virtue of humility. Poverty in the spiritual sense is the power by which the Christian is drawn to Christ. Yet spiritual poverty alone is not a guarantee of sanctity: “Those who have only interior poverty,” in the words of Blessed Antoine Chevrier, “run the risk of having none at all.” Thus does the Christian need to practice poverty in a material sense—by detachment from, indifference to, and even proper enjoyment of, nature’s riches. On the strength of this foundation, Régamey offers in conclusion a study of the relationship between poverty and wisdom and the crying need for properly Christian poverty in a mechanized, materialistic, money-obsessed age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBlessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.\u003c\/em\u003e (Luke 6:20)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGod does not consider what we possess, but what we covet.\u003c\/em\u003e (St. Augustine)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWith Scripture and Tradition as its mainstays, \u003ci\u003ePoverty\u003c\/i\u003e is an engrossing presentation of an essential element of the Christian life, one with the power to instill and sustain the virtues needed to emerge triumphant from this valley of tears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePie-Raymond Régamey, O.P., \u003c\/b\u003e(1900–1996) was a French Dominican priest, art historian and author.
