Insults. Failure. Doubt. Temptation. Pain. Anxiety. Separation from those we love.
How are we going to withstand the non-stop trials of this world?
There is a way, and it’s available to everyone.
It’s easy to follow and it’s good for you. There are no risks or unpleasant side effects.
It has all the answers.This penetrating gem of a book, this miracle of wisdom and insight, goes behind the Gospels and inside the riveting events of Christ’s life, from the Nativity to the Cross.
In a style that has won praise from Catholics for nearly a century, Fr. A.G. Sertillanges masterfully unites the familiar stories of the Gospels to the particular circumstances of Christ’s life.
In doing so it provides the ultimate meaning to our own lives.
These stories and lyrical descriptions of the Holy Land will enlighten your outlook, deepen your prayer life, and connect you to the Living Water.
Happy are those who have stood in the cave in Bethlehem, walked in prayer the roads that Jesus walked, and knelt at the tomb of our Redeemer.
But now those who have never visited Israel can open the rich pages of 33 Years in the Holy Land and gaze in silence at the crib in Bethlehem, hear Jesus say to the dismayed fishermen, “Follow me!,” and feel the chill of Golgotha as it looms ever larger in His mind.
Take up these pages as you move toward Easter.
Let these reflections deepen your understanding of the life of Christ and fill you with gratitude for His tremendous love for you.
Your faith will grow stronger, your prayer life deeper, and your understanding of suffering more profound so that you will fear adversity no longer.

After immersing yourself in the life and lessons of Christ, turn your attention to the miraculous story of The House of the Virgin Mary.Countless SAINTS have now gone there on pilgrimage, including:
St. Francis of Assisi, St. Francis Xavier, St. Ignatius, St. Charles Borromeo, St. Aloysius Gonzaga, St. Francis de Sales, St. Benedict Labré, St. Alphonsus Liguori, St. Thérèse of Lisieux, and others.
Over 45 POPES have sanctioned it, including:
Popes Benedict XII, Blessed Urban V, Urban VI, Paul II, Julius II, Leo X, St. Pius V, Gregory XIII, Sixtus V, Clement VIII, Clement X, Innocent XII, Pius IX, Leo XIII, Pius X, Benedict XV, and many others.
Now you, too, can come to know the house of the Virgin Mary . . .
. . . where tradition tells us Mary herself was born . . .
. . . and where Jesus became flesh and spent his first twelve years.*
Here is the comprehensive tale of the Holy House in Nazareth, its complete history, from construction to its miraculous transport to Loreto, Italy, in the late 1200s.
You'll read about:
- Its veneration in Nazareth before it mysteriously disappeared, leaving only its foundation.
- Its sudden, miraculous appearance on a hillside in Italy, dismaying local residents.
- How amazed Italians used exacting detective skills in Italy and later in Palestine to discover where the house had come from.
- How believers have venerated Our Lady of Loreto and revered her Holy House for over 700 years now.
- The 15th Century erection of a magnificent basilica over the humble Holy House, and the 16th century enclosing of the fragile structure in a grand marble encasement.
- The cure in the Holy House of two Popes in succession (and the many other miracles witnessed here).
Believers will be thrilled and consoled by the evidence presented in these pages.
Skeptics will have their doubts tempered and come to see that this Holy House is a miraculous dwelling and testament to the loving power of God.
