NEW for 2026:
From Fr. Ermatinger Comes
The Simplest Way to Holiness
Following Christ is not made up of a collection of rules to be lived out in a contractual way but is meant to be a dynamic and loving relationship. In Fidelity to Grace, Fr. Plus teaches us how to thrive in that relationship with Christ, which results in a simple path to holiness. Through attentiveness to the action of grace, prayer, trust, and action, Fidelity to Grace shows us that the way is quite simple and achievable to anyone willing to say “Yes” to Christ.
Translated and Introduced by Fr. Cliff Ermatinger
About the Author
Fr. Raoul Plus, S.J. (1882–1958), wrote more than forty books to help Christians of every degree of education (or lack of it) to understand God’s love for the soul. The content of his books is always profound but simply stated.
The Example and Model of a True Penitent
An erudite 18th century Irish bishop presents us with the extraordinary depravity and even more extraordinary life of grace and penance of this spiritual giant from the 5th Century, St. Mary of Egypt. From prostitute and sex addict to woman of prayer, penance, and whole-hearted surrender to the Spouse of her soul and the object of all our longings, Jesus Christ.
Her story is humbling, edifying, inimitable, but wholly inspiring, showing us that no sin, sincerely confessed, surpasses the Mercy of God. St. Mary shows us how to trust in the Lord through conversion, lived out in prayer and penance rather than in the emotion of a fleeting moment.
This book, older than the United States itself, speaks to our age through the example of St. Mary and the counsels of the holy bishop who penned it.
