He brings to life and unifies the many observations, emotions and subtle and not-so-subtle actions that revolve around the person of God the Son as he faces his most tragic and triumphant moment.The Spirit of the Liturgy by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Romano Guardini - Audiobook - Audible.com — Considered by Ratzinger devotees as his greatest work on the liturgy, this profound and beautifully written treatment of the "great prayer of the Church" will help listeners to deepen their understanding of the rites of the Church. The cardinal discusses fundamental misunderstandings of the Second Vatican Council's intentions for liturgical renewal, especially about the priest's orientation of prayer to the Father, the placement of the tabernacle in churches, and the posture of kneeling. This edition includes the earlier classic work with the same title by Servant of God Romano Guardini, a book that helped Ratzinger to "rediscover the liturgy in all its beauty, hidden wealth and time-transcending grandeur, to see it as the animating center of the Church, the very center of Christian life".

In The Friendship of Christ, first published in 1912, the Catholic convert son of an Archbishop of Canterbury shows how anyone can achieve a deeper relationship with God the Son. The book shows how Christ works in the soul of those who seek him, in his public life, and in the historical examples given in the Gospels. "There is one supreme friendship to which all human friendship points," writes Benson, "one ideal friend in whom we find, perfect and complete, that for which we look in the faces of our human lovers."

Being Human on Apple Podcasts — At the CatholicPsych Institute, we're doing something new when it comes to therapy. In the Being Human podcast, Dr. Greg Bottaro, Founder and Director of the CatholicPsych Institute, shares with you his vision for Catholic therapy and a revolutionary approach that is focused, finally, on what it means to be human. The Mindful Catholic: Finding God One Moment at a Time by Dr. Gregory Bottaro, Peter Kreeft - foreword - Audiobook - Audible.com — Dr. Greg Bottaro explains how mindfulness can help us become aware of the present moment and accept it. Catholic mindfulness is a way to practically trust God more in our lives. Instead of separating faith from day-to-day life, mindfulness helps bridge the gap so we can feel the sense of safety and peace God intends us to have. What is the CatholicPsych Institute? — "Become who you are." These words from St. John Paul II have echoed in my heart since I first heard them in 1997 at World Youth Day in Paris. My journey has taken me from being a student in the classroom of Peter Kreeft to a Franciscan Friar with Fr. Benedict Groeschel, and eventually to earning a doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 2012 before forming the CatholicPsych Institute.  I formed CatholicPsych to empower people to become who they are by providing services and resources that integrate authentic Catholic anthropology with sound psychological science. Home | CatholicPsych Academy

Support Catching FoxesLinks:Fundraiser by Sara Alexander : Our Superhero needs a sidekick! — All of the above is just some of the background on Isabella, and what brings us to the need for a GoFundMe. We’ve never fundraised for personal needs before. Honestly, it actually feels extremely awkward. Jonathan and I have spent our entire 12 years of marriage fundraising for the missions we’ve served whether it's the needs of Adore Ministries or Gratia Plena mental health services. We’ve chosen to live simply all these years to best support these missions we believe in passionately. So we find ourselves feeling unworthy to ask for personal support. But then we look into the beautiful eyes of Isabella, and our intentions are invigorated! This is a necessity for her. This is a need for her safety. This is the next step in doing the next right thing for her. So we are humbly coming to our community to help us get Isabella a Mobility Service Dog to support her safety. I humbly ask for your generosity in this endeavor, and we will continue to be open and honest about our endeavors for her. You are more than welcome to reach out with any clarifications you’d like along the way.
