  • Beyond The Veil - The Holy Face Devotion In The Light of Sacred Scripture. A NEW BOOK written by a Carmelite Nun of the Holy Face.

    Beyond The Veil - The Holy Face Devotion In The Light of Sacred Scripture. A NEW BOOK written by a Carmelite Nun of the Holy Face.
    Mar 4 2026
    Allan Smith interviews a few of the Carmelites of the Holy Face - O.Carm from St. Joseph's Hermitage located in Inchincurka, Dunmanway, County Cork, Ireland. https://carmelitesholyface.com Together they speak about this new book that speaks to the need for prayers of reparation and an increased devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus. The book is available on Amazon throughout the world and all the proceeds from the sale of this book goes towards supporting the work of these poor Carmelites. https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Veil-Devotion-Sacred-Scripture/dp/1805173383 ‘Beyond the Veil’ is a series of deep reflections on the Holy Face Devotion as it appears in the light of Sacred Scripture. Nineteen chapters explore various aspects of this most necessary Devotion and are replete with considerations and suggestions on how to practice it in present day society. Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus is but little known and still less is it deeply understood – yet it is a devotion which has been designated by Our Lord and Our Lady as the Divine remedy for Communism and for all the evils afflicting our present-day society. This book has been written especially for Catholics of any and every state in life, but others who are interested in Christianity may benefit from reading it too. The language is simple and clear. The train of thought is easy to follow and the book is likely to be readily understood by the average reader. At the same time there is sufficient depth to make it appealing for priests, religious and anyone who has an interest in the spiritual life. 'Beyond the Veil' was compiled by a member of the Carmelites of the Holy Face - a small Community of religious women who follow the Primitive Rule of St. Albert (Carmelite Rule). They are fully committed to holy Tradition and the unchanging Magisterium of the Catholic Church. A brief description of their way of life can be found in the appendix at the the end of this book.

  • The Greatest Commandment - A Fulton Sheen Anthology on Love - Fight the Good Fight on Virgin Most Powerful Radio

    The Greatest Commandment - A Fulton Sheen Anthology on Love - Fight the Good Fight on Virgin Most Powerful Radio
    Feb 28 2026

    Barbara McGuigan from Virgin Most Powerful Radio interviews Al Smith about the book "The Greatest Commandment".

    This book is available for purchase through Sophia Institute Press at https://www.sophiainstitute.com/products/item/the-greatest-commandment

    In today's culture, the word love is one of the most commonly misused and abused in our language. Devoid of order, misconceptions about love run rampant, steeped as we are in narcissism, secular humanism, relativism, and hedonism. Separated from God, society tragically propagates a notion of love that is, in truth, the antithesis of authentic love.

    Now more than ever we need Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen’s wisdom, wit, and logic to refute these errors. In our sightless, irrational, and deeply polarized world, his prescient words elucidate the most divisive issues of our time. Mindful that we are all children of God, Archbishop Sheen decries anti-Semitism, racism, and sexism. He also explains what real tolerance means and why anti-hate campaigns don’t work.

    The Greatest Commandment is a timely reprint of Archbishop Sheen’s two seminal books Love One Another and God Love You. This anthology of his bestselling reflections also contains quotes and prayers that he compiled to foster ecumenism and societal unity. Drawing on Sacred Scripture, the writings of the saints, and philosophy, Archbishop Sheen explains:

    • The meaning of love in light of the Holy Trinity
    • Why God created us to love — and to be loved
    • The three types of love and the nine ingredients to charity
    • How Heaven is the ultimate fulfillment of our joy, desire, and love
    • Why love cannot exist without truth
    • How we give the greatest glory to God at Mass by uniting ourselves to Christ

    A treasure to contemplate, The Greatest Commandmentexpounds upon our deep-seated need to love God and implore His mercy by developing a personal relationship with Him through Sacred Scripture and the Sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist and Confession. God’s loving quest for our souls in turn impels us to love our neighbor. Love is a decision and requires sacrifice; it is the total gift of self for another. Our witness aids the disillusioned in finding their way to God. By cooperating with God’s Love, we will bring about the restoration of the world.
