WISDOM AND INNOCENCE
Joseph Pearce. A life of G.K. Chesterton. As well as writing a huge number of essays, biographies, poems, novels and plays, Chesterton debated with all the great names of the day, disdaining conventionality and cutting through the commonplace in order to discover common sense. He strove for integrity, his religious faith and modern intellect profoundly influencing C.S. Lewis, Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene. He, in turn, was sustained by his great friendships with Belloc, Shaw and H.G.Wells. A large man in every sense, his greatest discovery was perhaps that ‘the secret of life lies in laughter and humility.’ 522 pages. Paperback.

MARGARET CLITHEROW
Margaret T. Monro. A beautiful woman with a clear complexion and great physical vitality, Margaret Clitherow, at about age 33, was executed in York, England for inviting Catholic priests into her home to say Mass during the time of the penal laws under Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when this was a capital offense. She was martyred by being crushed to death under a large door loaded with heavy weights, a particularly severe and harsh form of punishment. The law prescribed this type of death because she refused to plead; she did this in order to save her children and her servants from being pressured to give evidence against her and to save the jury from participating in sentencing her to death. Margaret, always merry in life, remained peaceful and even joyous to the end. 87 pages. Paperback.

JACINTA,THE FLOWER OF FATIMA (Marto, Jacinta)

Hill. The apparitions of the Mother of God at Fatima, Portugal, have aroused great interest among the Catholic population of our country. Already several articles and pamphlets have been published describing the visions of the three little shepherds. The message which the Heavenly Mother brought to mankind twenty-nine years ago has excited the wonder and devotion of many a Christian soul. Its inner meaning, however, was hidden from us until the miracle of grace wrought in the souls of the three privileged children was made known. The story of the life of little Jacinta Marto, the youngest of the seers, leads us, in the words of the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon, "into the heart of Fatima". It is a letter from the Blessed Virgin to be read with the eyes of the soul. (May, 1946) "She said that she was Our Lady of the Rosary; that we must repent of our sins, change our life, offend Our Lord no more, because He is offended too much; and that we must say our rosary." (Words of Jacinta)192 pages. Hardback.
