Mary Kloska speaks to a ‘Seven Sisters’ Group about her book In Our Lady’s Shadow (May 21, 2021)

In Our Lady’s Shadow: The Spirituality of Praying for Priests

by Mary Kloska

In Our Lady’s Shadow–the Spirituality of Praying for Priests is a guide for women, taking them deep into a meditation upon the relationship between Our Lady and Jesus, the Eternal High Priest. It reflects on the development of their relationship–from His Childhood (as ‘Little Jesus Crucified’), through His Mission and Passion (where Our Lady was His Helpmate and Gift), to His Resurrection and life with Her in eternity. Through this meditation, the reader not only comes to know more deeply the relationship of Mary with Her Son, but also Her role in helping all men called to the priesthood. By entering into Our Mother’s spirituality of praying for priests, the reader is taught the best way to spiritually accompany priests as a spiritual mother, sister, daughter, and friend.

The Heart of Fiat Crucified Love

 

TESTIMONIALS

 
“As the prayers of Saint Monica for her wayward son helped Augustine to become a great saint, the prayers of women help priests to likewise grow in holiness, our universal calling echoed every time we celebrate Mass and recite along with the angelic choir in heaven, ‘Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Hosts.’ May many women be inspired by this book to pray for the holiness of our priests.” – Very Rev. Peter Samuel Kucer, MSA, author of A Brief Historical Survey of Marian Devotion and Theology
“Mary Kloska’s book In Our Lady’s Shadow – The Spirituality of Praying for Priests is one of the most motivational contemporary Catholic books I have ever read. In our time of crisis in the Church, it is of vital importance that we be praying for priests in a way even more intense than before. Read it! It may enrich your own spiritual life in a way you cannot predict.” – Ronda Chervin, Ph.D., retired Catholic Philosophy Professor, author of numerous books, and presenter on EWTN and Catholic Radio

“Published on International Women’s Day, Mary Kloska’s new book… IN OUR LADY’S SHADOW: The Spirituality of Praying for Priests… is a timely reflection on the beautiful mission that women in particular have of praying for priests. At a time when many women find themselves confused regarding their role in society and their place in the Church… the Body of Christ… the author points out the special, maternal giftedness of womanhood and the wonderful spirituality that flows from this reality. The author reminds women that, contrary to popular opinion, it is “littleness” that makes the biggest difference in this world.” – Fr. Lawrence Edward Tucker, SOLT… author of The Prayer of Jesus Crucified; Adventures in the Father’s Joy!; To Whom the Heart Decided to Love; The Redemption of San Isidro.

“What a tremendous consolation to Jesus it must have been to have His tender Mother there to support him with all her love and prayers throughout his priestly life, and especially on his way to Calvary. How much more do her other beloved priest sons need this Mother of consolation and mercy accompany them while they fulfill their priestly roles. I believe this book, “In our lady shadow: The spirituality of praying for priests” will inspire, those who read it, to fulfill our Lady’s urgent request to pray for priests in the spirit of Mary, the mother of Jesus, the Mother of priests and Queen of apostles. May all the love in the hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph fill the hearts of every priest to overflowing!” – Bob Cantoni, host with Bob Carter of WCAT Radio’s “If You Know Mary, Then You Know Jesus”

“This book is a wonderful resource for young men studying for the priesthood, a beloved parish priest or priest friend, as well as anyone who feels drawn to pray for priests. It is a treasure trove of insight and gold mine of inspiration, so needed in this challenging modern world.” – Theresa Thomas, Family Columnist, Mother of nine, and author of Big Hearted (Scepter)
“As a mother of small children and someone dedicated to praying weekly holy hours for priests, this book helps me to love more deeply the devotions of priests and how much they need our prayers. I am so pleased to have it as a guide. A very special book!” – Amelia Colone, wife, mother and member of the Seven Sisters Apostolate of weekly adoration for priests 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

Mary Kloska is from Elkhart, Indiana. She was raised in a huge Polish family (12 brothers and sisters) along with a lot of foster babies and other needy people in and out of the house. She presently has 70+ nieces and nephews.  She has lived a very unique life. Upon graduating from Notre Dame in 1999 she spent almost 20 years in the missions serving the poor (including orphanages) as well as praying as a consecrated hermit all over the world –Siberia, Nigeria, Tanzania, South Africa, Philippines, Mexico, the Holy Land and all over Europe as well. Although she spent a lot of time away in silence praying, ironically she loves children and is very fun and outgoing when it comes to serving young adults, as well as the little ones. She also spent her time in the missions giving retreats, doing simple catechesis, leading prayer groups, giving spiritual direction, helping in deliverance, changing diapers, feeding babies and cleaning floors. After spending intense time serving in a mission she would withdraw for periods of ‘retreat’ as a hermit (including three years as an official diocesan hermit with vows under a Bishop.) The last few years she has spent as a fulltime nanny to infant triplets, twins and several large families. She speaks many languages (poorly) and enjoys playing guitar, painting icons, baking, gardening, reading, writing and simply filling in where there is the greatest need in the Church.

Table for Three by Larry Hopperton

Table for Three by Larry Hopperton

Private Chapel

Picture someone like a pope
in prayer, a tiny chapel.
Altar servers murmur latin

robes raised in personal praise.
We did that in choir school.
We recited the responses

didn’t know what they meant
but could participate at the feet
of the meditative moment.

Table for Three: New and Selected Poems, 1982-2021

by Lawrence Hopperton

These poems, written over forty years, illustrate a spiritual landscape evolved from both secular and profane perspectives, from church windows to a handful of dirt, love and grief to redemption at the edges of our world. They invite readers into an engagement with the world – an engagement both thoroughly spiritual and sensuous. Personal experiences and associations become anchorage on this journey with the spirit of God (Spiritus Dei) and the spirit of creation (Spiritus Mundi).

TESTIMONIALS

“The spirit dwells among us in the people we love, in the things we do, and in the places we hold dear. There are numerous memorable poems in Table for Three such as “Twenty-four Line Loaf,” “Ordinary Sunday,” and “Barra.” Hopperton proves that love endures in the face of loss and joy prevails against the challenges of sadness. In a voice that balances both the secular and the liturgical, this book presents a compendium of song, praise, celebration, and poetry where the poet comes to grips with grief and how the spirit triumphs. Table for Three is an inspiration.” – Bruce Meyer is author of over 60 books of poetry, short fiction, and literary criticism. His most recent book, releasing in April, 2021, is Grace of Falling Stars

“So moving. It’s like sacred readings.”  Dr. Janet Clark, former Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs and Academic Dean of Tyndale Seminary, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

33 Days … with St. Joseph by Fr. Nicholas Cachia

33 Days … with St. Joseph by Fr. Nicholas Cachia

33 Days . . . with Saint Joseph

by Fr. Nicholas Cachia

This book is a resource for meditative prayer based on excerpts taken from the Apostolic Letter Patris Corde of Pope Francis (December 8, 2020). It is a prayerful journey into the attitudes and sentiments of St. Joseph as he surrenders himself to the will of God, who entrusted him with the precious gift of the Blessed Mother and the Incarnate Son.

Paperback: $12.95 | Kindle: $9.99

 

TESTIMONIALS

“From one father’s heart to another. Fr. Nicholas Cachia beautifully reflects on the heart of the foster father of Jesus, who is reflecting the Father’s love. Building on Pope Francis’ recent reflection, Fr. Cachia provides a wonderful journey for anyone desiring to grow in relationship with St. Joseph during his special year.” – Bishop David L. Toups, Diocese of Beaumont

“All can find great inspiration in Fr. Cachia’s simple guide to a consecration to St. Joseph. He draws from the Popes of the last six decades to help us unite ourselves more closely to the Husband of Mary and Foster Father of Jesus, as Scripture and Tradition present him to us.” – Fr. Alfredo Hernandez, Rector/President of St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary, and author of Formation Activities and Catholic Seminarians: A Practical Theological Study of their Impact on Subsequent Perseverance in Ministry
“Father Cachia’s helpful resource provides a way to appreciate and pray with Pope Francis’ Apostolic Letter Patris Corde.  Father Cachia has authored these meditations as one who himself lives in the heart of St. Joseph and invites others to do the same.” – Fr. Richard Gabuzda, Moderator of the IPF Priests of St. Joseph and Director of Programming and Mission of IPF

“The tenderness of the Father will be tasted and seen as this Consecration to St. Joseph is prayed. The simplicity of Fr. Cachia’s approach serves to magnify the beauty of St. Joseph’s presence alive among us calling us to be imbued with and possessed by the Holy Spirit.” – Fr. John Horn, SJ, general editor of Eyewitnesses: Biblical Foundations in Christian Spirituality and managing co-editor of Spiritual Husbands-Spiritual Fathers: Priestly Formation for the 21st Century

“Two qualities make 33 Days … with St. Joseph unique: the exploration of Pope Francis’s Apostolic Letter on St. Joseph and the simplicity of the approach. The first offers a fresh and warm perspective on St. Joseph, and the second renders the book accessible to prayer from the heart. Read and pray with this book: you will not be disappointed.” – Timothy M. Gallagher, OMV, author of The Discernment of Spirits: An Ignatian Guide to Everyday Living and St. Ignatius Chair for Spiritual Formation, St. John Vianney Theological Seminary, Denver

“What a brief, yet comprehensive, simple, yet beautiful resource to grow in one’s knowledge and love of St. Joseph, ‘the silent but most eloquent saint.’ With a ‘grace for the day,’ an excerpt from Pope Francis’s Patris Corde, suggested Scriptural reading, and insights from a variety of saints for each day, Father Cachia takes us on a captivating 33-day journey toward the true heart of a father, as evidenced not by the words, but by the actions of the saint who loved and protected the Blessed Mother, who loved and taught Jesus Christ, a man of  ‘total and serene surrender to the will of God in his life.'” Kevin Vost, Psy.D., author of Catholic books including Memorize the Mass!

“Fr. Nicholas Cachia leads us on a 33-day pilgrimage to, and through, the Heart of St. Joseph – virginal spouse of the Immaculate Mediatrix of all Grace, and Paternal Custodian of Christ, our Lord. Inspired by (1) the great St. Louis Marie De Montfort’s unparalleled Treatise on True Devotion to Mary; (2) Fr. Donald Calloway’s runaway, bestselling Consecration to St. Joseph: The Wonders of Our Spiritual Father; and, above all, (3) Pope Francis’ Apostolic Letter, Patris Corde (wherein the Holy Father solemnly declares this year of our Lord, 2021, a year to especially honor and pay tribute to St. Joseph), Fr. Cachia has afforded the Church a marvelous service, in writing, assembling this collection of meditations on the Universal Patron. As we move through these inspired reflections, the manifold images of Joseph’s humility, obedience, and complete detachment from all things earthly, coupled with his prompt and eager willingness to serve his most Holy Spouse and her Divine Child, is, indeed, superlative. It is precisely Joseph’s willingness and ability to respond to whatever is asked of him, at any given moment, any given ‘eternal now,’ with his unconditional “Fiat,” his absolute, unflinching, “Yes,” to the Divine Will, regardless of how contrary to his fallen human nature, regardless of his own plans, his own passions – as a true man, his own desires, regardless of genuine injustice, even when Joseph might have a legitimate grievance, he accepts it all because God has allowed it, and the only response of the truly Just man is, Fiat, Yes, So Be it, Thy Will be done, not my will.  This is exactly what St. Paul refers to in dying to the old man of sin, when plunging a convert into the waters of one’s Baptism, and rising to new life in the resurrected Christ, the New Adam.” – Jayson Brunelle, author of Consecration to Jesus Christ, through Mary and Joseph

“How necessary it is (in these times perhaps more than ever) to be consecrated to St. Joseph, who is at once both the Terror of Demons and the Pillar of Families. Fr. Nicholas Cachia, an external member of the IPF Priests of St. Joseph, has given the world a succinct way, in the hopes of leading more souls to consecration in 2021, the Year of St. Joseph. Overwhelmed? Busy? No more than a few minutes a day are needed for this consecration, so Fr. Cachia has removed the possibility of ‘not enough time’ as an excuse. No more excuses: we need St. Joseph.” – Annabelle Moseley, author of the books Sacred Braille and Our House of the Sacred Heart: A Litany of Stories with Art, Prayers, Poetry and Reflections toward Consecration to the Sacred Heart

“Father Cachia opens the heart of Joseph to his readers – the humble man who through his marriage, fatherhood, and work plays his part in bringing God’s salvation to the entire world. This book provides beautiful, straightforward plan for holiness.” – Shane Kapler, author of Marrying the Rosary to the Divine Mercy Chaplet

“Fr. Nicholas Cachia has written a beautiful and profound little book of preparation to consecrating oneself to St. Joseph. By tying the rich, daily reflections with quotes from Pope Francis’ Apostolic  Letter on St. Joseph, Fr. Cachia deeply draws the reader into the heart of the Church. This book provides an easy path to a deeper relationship with our spiritual father.” – Mary Kloska, author of The Holiness of Womanhood and Out of the Darkness

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Fr. Nicholas Cachia is a priest of the Archdiocese of Malta, now serving at St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary in Florida. Fr. Cachia has long been associated with the Institute for Priestly Formation and since 2018 has been an external member of the IPF Priests of St. Joseph.

Out of the Darkness by Mary Kloska

Out of the Darkness by Mary Kloska

Out of the Darkness

by Mary Kloska

This work is a collection of treasures Jesus has shared with Mary Kloska’s heart. In offering this to the reader, Mary hopes to witness to the great power Jesus’ Cross contains in itself.  Her heart cringes at the thought of her interior life with Him being laid open so bare before the world, but she remembers that her Spouse was crucified naked, bearing all of Himself to the world and allowing us to reach out and touch His naked wounds so that we can know the fathomless abyss of His Love contained within them.  And so, Mary allows herself to be spiritually ‘naked’ with Him in order for you all to receive His Love in this intimate way.  Because Jesus gives such great gifts to be shared with all of His Church, Mary prays that who she is does not distract you from Who He is, for that is what He wants to show to you here.  Mary lays herself bare as His little wife crucified with Him on the Cross.  Similar to St. Paul, she must simply live so that she can say, “I no longer live, but Jesus Crucified lives in me.”  She prays you meet Him here in these pages. Amen. Alleluia.  Fiat.

The Heart of Fiat Crucified Love

 

TESTIMONIALS

“Physical and spiritual nakedness are deep realities in these words of Mary Kloska. Jesus, totally exposed to the evil of generations past and to those yet unborn. And in this book is the call and the invitation to expose our spiritual nakedness and to be one with Him on His journey to the Father’s will. Yes, there is a light to come from the tomb, but first we enter the darkness.” Deacon Tom Fox, Catholic Podcaster and Catholic Radio Host
“Mary Kloska has painted yet another wonderful icon as the title of this book. She provides a good explanation of the icon, which depicts Christ’s love as gentle, humble and strong. Even though Jesus is shown on the cross and bleeding profusely, Mary shows us that He is in control. He looks at the scene in front of Him. It is as if He is directly looking in each person’s eyes, who lived, is living, or will live. He looks into the eyes of the aborted and miscarried. He knows their need for salvation and sacrifices Himself. His strength is clear in that look, in the fact of giving Himself up, even more than the weakness of His of being crucified. That depth of profundity enters into the pages of the book and engages the reader, contemplatively.  A reader cannot rush through the chapters. Every sentence must be thought about; every picture must be entered. Each section of each chapter builds on the next in a way that is deliberate and written with the attempt to bring spiritual understanding to the reader.” – Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson, WCAT Radio host of “Author to Author

“This manuscript deeply affected me in my spiritual life… and its very hard for an 82-year-old to learn anything new… this was really life-changing to my spirituality.” – Ronda Chervin, author of Always a New Beginning: A Conversation Between Broken Catholic Spiritual Warriors

“‘When St. Paul arrived in Corinth and began evangelizing, he told the Corinthians he did not come to share any worldly wisdom or lofty rhetoric, but only the simple, gospel truth of Jesus Christ, and him… crucified’ (1 Corinthians 2:1-2). In her new book… Out Of The Darkness… author, artist, and musician, Mary Kloska, follows along this same, powerful path. Unfortunately, due to the hedonistic cultural milieu that dominates our society, following the path of Jesus crucified is a rather lonely journey. Even in those few sectors where Christianity is still practiced, emphasis on the cross is noticeably diminished if not clearly absent (e.g., the ‘prosperity gospel’). Having said this, it would be hard to imagine a more timely spiritual treatise than this one. The author takes the reader deep into the beauty, mystery, wisdom and power of Jesus crucified by way of spiritual insights and observations that are fresh, inspiring, and wonderfully invigorating. Like a rainstorm in the desert, this book is entering into the ‘spiritual void’ of our times and will almost certainly become a Lenten staple as well as a focal point for The New Evangelization.” –Fr. Lawrence Edward Tucker, SOLT, author of The Prayer of Jesus Crucified: A Simple Way to Go Further in Prayer; Adventures in The Father’s Joy! Mission Stories for the New Evangelization; To Whom The Heart Decided To Love; The Redemption Of San Isidro: a Tale of Mercy and Love
“This book is a gift to anyone who reads it because it shows us how – as Jesus said to Mary – ‘we can be profoundly made one’ with Him on the Cross.” – Sr. Patrizia Pasquini, ASC, Generalate sisters of the Most Precious Blood

TESTIMONIALS

“This deeply personal witness from Annabelle Moseley draws the reader into the intimacy of faith. In sharing her own heart, poetry, art, reflection, and prayer, she helps each of us find a welcome and a home in the Sacred Heart of Jesus.”  — Bishop Richard Henning, Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, New York

“Annabelle Moseley’s Our House of the Sacred Heart is not simply good Catholic theology of the Sacred Heart but a work of art that raises the reader into the summum bonum of truth, beauty, and goodness.” — Matt Fradd, Pints with Aquinas

“In her inspirational book Our House of the Sacred Heart, Annabelle Moseley promotes devotion to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus. She does so by encouraging us to take refuge in His Sacred heart for “the Sacred Heart is our home.” May the prayerful reading of this devotional book increase love for Jesus Christ and inflame a desire to spread the Good News that in the midst of this often chaotic world we all have a loving, caring home, the Sacred Heart of Jesus.” — Very Rev. Peter Samuel Kucer, MSA, author of A Brief Historical Survey of Marian Devotion and Theology

Our House of the Sacred Heart is, quite simply, brilliant. It’s brilliant in the sense of genius, in the sense of uniqueness, and in the sense of imparting divine light, wisdom, and warmth. Moseley invites the reader into the home of her grandmother, the kind of home that is a sort of incarnation of our heavenly home: cozy, warm, full of love and kind words, a place of safety in storms. By drawing the reader into her family, and from life to death, she leads deeply into the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and in doing that, brings the reader to comprehend in a new way the incredible reality of Home. And it’s personal: she poses questions, lovely questions, that cause the reader to open up to God’s grace like a flower to the sun. You won’t be the same after reading this book, and you will want to go back to it again and again. Through the lens of her stories and, as I say, those “lovely questions,” you will never see home, life, suffering, death, family, friends, underlined books, dishes and tea cups, cemeteries, and yes–runs in stockings– in quite the same way, and your heart will be closer to Heaven…and you will be incredibly happy because of it.” –Keith Brant Berube, PhD candidate, author of the books Mary, the Beloved; Mary: The Rosary, the Relationship, and Dragons; and A Love Letter to Mary

TESTIMONIOS

“Agarré este libro, y no lo pude soltar, hasta darle vuelta a la última página… y soy un hombre! Si me cautivo a mí, hasta tal punto, solo puedo maravillarme del extraordinario efecto que tendrá en las mujeres! Este libro es tan singularmente hermoso, que no sería una sorpresa, si con el tiempo, es reconocido como un clásico en la literatura de las mujeres Católicas.  Yo animaría a cada mujer a leer este tratado, y aferrarse a él, para toda su vida… seguir recurriendo a él; y finalmente… dejarlo como una reliquia especial, para alguien a quien ama mucho.” – Lawrence Edward Tucker, SOLT, Autor de La Redención de San Isidro; A Quien el Corazón Decidió Amar; Aventuras en la Alegría del Padre; La Oración de Jesús Crucificado; y el nuevo Álbum/CD de música católica, So Shine by brothersister

“Mary Kloska se encarga de una importante, aunque muy descuidada cuestión: las diferencias reales entre las mujeres y los hombres, con un enfoque sobre el impacto de esas diferencias, en la espiritualidad de las mujeres. La alegría de leer esto, es que en lugar del enojo que a veces acompaña estos problemas, Mary, gentil y calmadamente observa las diferencias y celebra a ambas, aun cuando pone su atención en los dones espirituales de las mujeres. Yo, un hombre, he dirigido a mujeres, y conozco un número de mujeres que dan dirección espiritual a los hombres, sin embargo, los puntos de vista de Mary, en la vida espiritual de las mujeres, ofrece muchas más ideas, de las que yo puedo ofrecer. Sumado a esto, su experiencia viene de lo que ha vivido en cuatro continentes, entre gente muy diversa – Norte América, Europa, África y Asia, lo que le da amplitud a sus ideas. Su propia vida espiritual, es la fuente obvia de su profundidad. Su libro es una ayuda profunda en el desarrollo espiritual de la mujer.”– Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ, presidente y fundador de Ignatius Productions,  y compañero mayor del Centro San Pablo,  de Teología Bíblica

“¡Qué hermoso retiro para mujeres! Me encanta. Está lleno de ideas profundas. Te puedo asegurar, al leer este libro… que está lleno de alegría y de paz, que realmente me ayudó,  a mi edad de 82 (a pesar de que escribí un libro completo sobre mujeres, y muchos libros que uso, yo misma, en retiros). Aun así, encontré nuevas ideas en este libro. Así que, aunque hayas estado en retiros para mujeres, esto te podría dar algo Nuevo y muy importante.” – Dr. Ronda Chervin, líder de docenas de retiros para mujeres, y autora de Feminine (Femenina), Free (Libre), y Faithful (Fiel)

La Santidad de la Mujer contiene mucha Sabiduría y Verdad, para cualquier mujer que quiere realmente convertirse en lo que Dios quiere que sea. Habiendo vivido, a través del levantamiento de la liberación de la mujer en los sesentas y los setentas, lo que dio comienzo a la salida de toneladas de literatura sobre las mujeres, lo que únicamente contaminó la mente, encuentro este libro refrescante. Da una vuelta divina a la femineidad, y tiene muchas riquezas para cualquier mujer que quiera ser una mujer de Dios.”   – Clare R. Ten Eyck, Ed.D., Terapista Católico y Director de Retiros

“El retiro para mujeres, de Mary Kloska, especialmente al principio de sus veinte, establece los principios para motivar la verdadera identidad de una joven que se está formando. Más aun, una madre de familia puede encontrar en este libro, fácil de leer y de reflexionar, ideas prácticas para ayudar a sus hijas a madurar, hacia un sentido profundo de maternidad potencial. Entonces ella puede reconocer, realmente, un esposo auténtico, que la ame y ame a sus hijos, en un matrimonio con amor sacrificial.”– Padre Basil Cole, Profesor de Teología Moral, espiritual y dogmática, de la Casa de Estudios Dominicana

“Este libro provee una muy necesaria visión de la auténtica feminidad, y debe ser leído por mujeres jóvenes y adultas, que desean  profundizar más en sus vocaciones individuales, y en su significado y propósito, como hija del Rey..” – Theresa A. Thomas, Madre de seis hijas, 15-años de columnista familiar en “Today’s Catholic News” (Noticias Católicas de hoy), Contribuyente para el website Vida Católica Integrada, Intercambio Católico, escritora independiente y autora de Big Hearted: Inspirando Historias de las familias de todos los días (Scepter, 2013)
