Healing Meditations from the Gospel of St. John is about recovering who we are . . . our true selves. Simply put, the true self is the self that God wants us to be, what Kierkegaard called God’s prophesy for each person, gifts, potentialities, feelings . . . all that our Creator originally gave us as images of God.

I was so excited when I received a copy of this book, St. Robert Bellarmine by Shaun McAfee. He wrote this book in cooperation with current pastor, Fr. Steven Stillmunks, as a fundraiser for the 50th anniversary of the parish in 2016. McAfee begins the book with his own story of conversion and how the members of the Church, along with the then pastor Fr. Donald Shane, drew him into understanding of the Catholic faith and membership into the Church. He was welcomed into full unity with the Catholic Church on Easter Sunday 2012, with his wife following soon after. Next in the book is the 50-year history of St. Robert’s Parish. McAfee covers a brief history of the pastors and what each accomplished, and includes a detailed timeline of important dates in the parish over the last 50 years. The next chapter, and the bulk of the book, covers who St. Robert Bellarmine (1542-1621) was and what made him a saint and Doctor of the Church. He was one of the Church’s greatest apologists during a period when the Church was in dire need of defense from Protestants and Calvinists. McAfee includes a summary of St. Robert’s most famous writing, The Art of Dying Well, which was written in 1619, when Bellarmine was close to death. This is a beautiful exhortation on how we are to live so that when we do die, we can die in holiness so that we can ultimately be with Christ. McAfee summarizes nine precepts that Bellarmine outlines, and explains the purpose of each of the sacraments and how they relate to living a holy life, and dying a “happy death”. While all of St. Robert’s Parish, past, present, and future, will enjoy this book immensely, everyone who would like to learn more about Robert Bellarmine, the saint, will also be pleased reading this book. It is a wonderful celebration of the life of St. Robert and has inspired me to read the writings of St. Robert Bellarmine. Be sure to pick up your copy of St. Robert Bellarmine! – Laura Hensley, parishioner of St. Robert Bellarmine Parish in Omaha, NE

A downed U.S. fighter pilot survived nearly eight years in a brutal North Vietnamese POW camp by repeating the Mass to himself each day, in Latin and in English. A Maryknoll bishop survived nearly a dozen years confined by Chinese Communists through daily mental recitation of the Mass. When finally released, he actually celebrated the Mass while still his hospital bed – and clad in his pajamas!
Do you know and love the Mass as if your life depended on it?
In his bestseller Memorize the Faith! Kevin Vost harnessed the memory methods of Sts. Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas to help us memorize key elements of the faith, from the 10 Commandments, to the 20 Rosary Mysteries, to all 73 books of the Bible, and more.
In Memorize the Reasons! he called again on the methods of the great Catholic medieval memory masters to show us how to defend the reasons for what we believe, from the primacy of Peter, to the Marian dogmas, to the relationship of Scripture and Tradition in the Holy Catholic Church.
Now, in Memorize the Mass! Dr. Vost applies the powerful methods of the Catholic art of memory once more to all the parts and rites of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, both in the Novus Ordo or Ordinary Form and in the Extraordinary Form or Traditional Latin Mass. Readers will learn not merely how to memorize facts and repeat them like a parrot, but to come to know the names, the sequence, and the meanings of both forms of the Roman Rite of the Mass like a rational human being made in God’s image and likeness with an intellect and a will, and they will learn to engrave each and every one of those rites upon the tablets of their hearts, knowing them literally forward and backward!
Do you want to know and love the Mass as if your life depended on it? (For in a real sense, it sure does for us all!) Then open up Memorize the Mass! and begin to participate in the celebration of Christ’s Real Presence before us in a way you may not have imagined before.

Shelf-Talker: (selling the book and need a shelf-talker – print this one!)
“We aren’t supposed to merely follow along with the Missal – we’re called to partake and share in the Mass. Exploring the history and structure of the Mass, Dr. Vost beautifully outlines the fullness and graces that come with committing the Mass to memory in our hearts and minds.” – Shaun McAfee, author of Filling our Father’s House (Sophia Press, 2015)
“Kevin Vost, author of Memorize the Faith! and Memorize the Reasons!, invites us back down memory lane with his newest book: Memorize the Mass! Like his previous works, Memorize the Mass! combines tools for memorization with faith facts, this time about Mass. No one encourages us in our journey quite like Vost does with his wit and grasp of the all things Catholic. Perfect for all ages and sojourners, Memorize the Mass! is sure to become “the” book that gets picked up again and again!” – Cheryl Dickow, President, Bezalel Books, www.BezalelBooks.com
“I have come across many fine books about the Eucharist, but precious few about the history and structure of the Mass, and certainly none also aimed at committing both the Novus Ordo and Extraordinary Form to memory! Memorize the Mass! is thrilling – filled with biblical, historical, and theological insights about the rites of the Mass that I haven’t found anywhere else. The good doctor Vost has given us a powerful prescription for a more ardent and devout reception of the “medicine of immortality,” our Eucharistic Lord.” – Shane Kapler, author of Through, With, and In Him: The Prayer Life of Jesus and How to Make It Our Own (Angelico Press, 2014)
“Dear Dr Vost, I’ve enjoyed a number of your previous books, but Memorize the Mass is by far the best. I’ve just started it and am enjoying it so much. I love the way you’ve given the exercise meaning and placed memorization in historical context. But most of all, I’m enjoying actively participating in learning. It’s my first session and already I’ve covered the names of the first seven parts of the mass. I’m soon to start RCIA and noticed last week that I was beginning to feel comfortable with mass, this just makes it so much better. I’m looking forward to Sunday even more than usual. Thankyou so much for this great book, Yours, Julie Sienkowski” (Fan, 2016)
