The Fathers of the Church, first published a decade ago, has become the standard popular introduction to the great teachers of early Christianity Now, this new edition presents more material from more of the Fathers -- including authors from little-known traditions of Egypt, East Syria, North Africa, and the lands that make up modern Iran and Iraq. Also new with this edition is a section on selected "Mothers of the Church," holy women from Christian antiquity.

This expanded edition features full references and citations, a topical index, detailed bibliography, and ancient texts available in English for the first time in more than a century.

The Fathers of the Church is an excellent place to pass on those same teachings and traditions -- long established as an indispensable reference tool for clergy, seminarians, RCIA candidates, and lay Catholics who want to strive to live up to the "Faith of Our Fathers."

Little Things Mean a Lot

How do you show your mommy and daddy that you love them?
Do you give them a hug?
Bring them flowers?
Tell them you love them?

God wants to know that you love Him too.
So how do you show God you love Him?
In lots of little ways.

By visiting the church even when it's not Sunday.
By bowing your head when you hear the name of Jesus.
By making the Sign of the Cross.
By doing lots of little things that mean a lot!

These little acts of grace help us and keep our minds and hearts focused on God. But most of all, they let Him know just how much we love Him every day!.
