Angelology:
A Guide to the Principal Patristic and Scholastic Sources for Our Beliefs about Angels
St. Thomas Aquinas is known as the Angelic Doctor, not only on account of the heights of his mystical life, his singular genius, but also for his clear and systematic teaching on angels. Of all the sources he uses, he is most indebted to a mysterious 5th or 6th-century writer who put the name Dionysius the Areopagite to a treatise entitled “The Celestial Hierarchy.”
In Angelology, the reader discovers not only that ancient text on angelology but also St. Thomas’ own “De Angelis” (“Treatise on the Angels”) from the Summa Theologica. Both authors and their respective texts are introduced and explained along the way so as to make these ancient gems more accessible to modern readers.
Fr. Ermatinger Introduces Four of His NEW Books
NEW for 2026:
The Servant of God Sister Benigna Consolata:
The Delicacies and the Tenderness of the Love of Jesus for a Little Soul
by Sr. Mary Paulina Finn (Author), Fr. Cliff Ermatinger (Editor)
Shortly after Sr. Benigna Consolata Ferrero’s mission was fulfilled and she went to her eternal reward with her divine Bridegroom, her community of Visitation nuns wrote this text on her life and work – an homage to her vocation as an offering for the salvation of souls and the end of World War I. More than the life of a holy religious, this book reveals the love of the Sacred Heart and how He has chosen to share His mission of love and suffering with chosen souls; specially gifted lovers who not only win souls for Heaven, but bring His Heart much consolation.
Upon reading the words of Christ to His faithful bride, one is struck by the sensitivity and depth of His love, to Whom nothing is unimportant.
NEW for 2026:
by Fr. P. Sutter F.M.S. (Author), Fr. Cliff Ermatinger (Translator)
The most renowned cases of demonic possession are gathered here.
Rather than foment and satisfy morbid curiosity, this book presents not only the tragic suffering of those afflicted, but also the heroic charity of those who helped them and eventually brought them to deliverance.
When this book was first published in 1921 it was wildly popular and was quickly translated into many languages. Now, in this new translation, the book has been expanded with theological commentary and a copious introduction to illustrate many aspects that were left unexplained in its original form.
NEW for 2026:
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.
NEW for 2026:
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.

REPARATION PRAYER TO THE ETERNAL FATHER
“All who adore My Precious Blood console My Father Who loves His Son the most. As you adore My Blood, the pains of My Sacred Heart lessen. The Sorrowful Heart of My Mother will also be consoled. Children, adore My Precious Blood always and offer it to My Father for mercy. Hear this prayer. Pray it always in reparation for the sins of the whole world. Pray it three times each time you pray it. I assure you that the Divine Mercy will multiply. Pray it always and many times a day, since you are living in these ungodly days. Pray it so that you shall be safe from the purification fire. Children, make it known to the whole world.”

The Gospel According to Matthew (12:22-26)
James Tissot, 1886-96
Then he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but the boat by this time was many furlongs distant from the land, beaten by the waves; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear. But immediately he spoke to them, saying, “Take heart, it is I; […]
