Searching for and Maintaining Peace: A Small Treatise on Peace of Heart
We live in an age characterized by agitation and lack of peace. This tendency manifests itself in our spiritual as well as our secular life. In our search for God and holiness, in our service to our neighbor, a kind of restlessness and anxiety take the place of the confidence and peace which ought to be ours. What must we do to overcome the moments of fear and distress which assail us? How can we learn to place all our confidence in God and abandon ourselves into his loving care? This is what is taught in this simple, yet profound little treatise on peace of head. Taking concrete examples from our everyday life, the author invites us to respond in a Gospel fashion to the upsetting situations we must all confront. Since peace of heart is a pure gift of God, it is something we should seek, pursue and ask him for without cease. This book is here to help us in that pursuit.
The best part of your life is spent in the little nameless acts of kindness and love you have performed in your home. Faithful, self-forgetting service – love that spends itself – is the secret of family borrowed, or stolen, for it is something thing that is of no earthly good to anyone until it is given away. ~Fr. Lawrence Lovasik
The Resurrection
“He descended into Limbo.”
There were many holy men before the time of Christ, but no Saints. That is, none of them had yet entered heaven. Sin had locked the gates of their Father’s House, and until Jesus inserted the key of His cross, they were detained in Limbo.
Between His death and resurrection, Jesus visited these souls, some already purified, others still suffering, to proclaim their redemption.
Adam and Eve were there; Abraham, Issac and Jacob; all, Jew and Gentile, who had died in God’s friendship.
There, in the dwelling of the dead, Jesus preached the dawning of eternal life.
Like Limbo, Purgatory is a reality. “Nothing defiled shall enter into heaven.”
If burying the dead is a work of mercy, praying for the dead is more merciful still.
ST. BENEDICT BRACELETS! Spiritual Protection
Available here.
One of the powerful weapons in spiritual combat is the St. Benedict medal. Used for centuries, this medal has been associated with many miracles, as well as with powers of exorcism.
St. Benedict medals are used in many ways, but always as a protection against evil. Some people bury them in the foundations of new buildings to keep them free from evil influences, while others attach them to rosaries or hang them on the wall in their homes. But the most common way to use the St. Benedict medal is to wear it. The medal can be worn by itself or embedded in a crucifix.
Regardless of how it is used, the medal should always be blessed with the special St. Benedict blessing. While, in former times, only Benedictines could bless the medal, now any priest can.
Here, Baroness Maria Augusta Trapp tells in her own beautiful, simple words the extraordinary story of her romance with the baron, their escape from Nazi-occupied Austria, and their life in America.
Now with photographs from the original edition.
Most people only know the young Maria from The Sound of Music; few realize that in subsequent years, as a pious wife and a seasoned Catholic mother, Maria gave herself unreservedly to keeping her family Catholic by observing in her home the many feasts of the Church’s liturgical year, with poems and prayers, food and fun, and so much more!
With the help of Maria Von Trapp, you, too, can provide Christian structure and vibrancy to your home. Soon your home will be a warm and loving place, an earthly reflection of our eternal home.

I am a Protestant, but have had some issues with my church and denomination. I’m not sure what to do, but praying to the Lord for guidance. I came across your page yesterday and love it so much. Thank you for all that you do. God bless you and your family.
Prayers for you, April. May God grant you peace.

This is a beautiful gift. Peace and surrender. I just learned about the surrender novena. I love it.
I just watched the Final Construction Update Video on the New Immaculata Church in St. Mary’s and it featured Sep Vanderputten. Very impressive! What an honor to be involved in such a momentous and historic undertaking.
I really like the Surrender Novena, but I don’t have the beads, they are beautiful. Thank you for sharing all that you do to help us along our journey.
I enjoy the information you put up here, I share these articles and videos with my daughters. We are in the process of converting to traditional Catholic. Thank you for all you do.
