The eighteenth century is called an age of “Enlightenment”, which is to say a skeptical, godless and libertine age where men turned from God to labor upon founding the city of man. God, however, had long prepared His apostle for this age, St. Alphonsus Liguori. St. Alphonsus turned his back on the law courts, worldly privilege, and put Christ at the center of his heart. Alphonsus aimed at bringing the love of the holy redeemer to all men, and set them afire with divine love.
Yet, God prepared the saint for his mission through a woman, Blessed Mary Celeste Crostarosa, who gave the character and inspiration to the Congregation of the Holy Redeemer. God revealed to her the rule of the Most Holy Redeemer, which became the foundation of St. Alphonsus’ institute. As the biography unfolds, the reader will not only discover the closeness between her and St. Alphonsus, St. Gerard and other early Redemptorists, but her deep contemplative and mystical life. Blessed Mary Celeste abounded in miracles, and in trials, living her life under the shadow of the cross. She suffered persecution and setbacks, but always, again and again, lowered her head in prayer.

Black Friday is over. Cyber Monday finished. Bezos was one and done. But not us! The Mediatrix Press Advent sale continues!

A couple of notes about shipping:
Often people leave us instructions like leaving the package under a brick by the 3rd washer in the laundromat, and things of this sort. We have no way of giving these sorts of instructions to the Post. We can write: "Front Porch" or "Back Porch" or "Frontdesk" and that is about it. If you want your packages delivered to a specific place, please contact your local USPS office and arrange that. We have no way to do it on our end. Thank you for understanding.

Second: We would recommend priority mail after the 1st week of December if you are ordering Christmas presents. We have affordable options if you want to order a few books: priority mail bubble mailers cost about $8.75 in the US.

Third: If you are in Hawaii, Alaska, or a US territory, you must use priority mail, because media mail will not ship to you for months.

We wish all of our patrons a blessed Advent!
