Weight Reduction
Weight Reduction Through Faith and
Prayer
Right now you use food
to numb your emotional distress, and you fear that without using food and excess
body fat as psychological defenses your life will be nothing but empty pain.
Therefore, to overcome the habit of constantly reaching for something to deaden
your emotional pain, endeavor to teach yourself to act in new ways through love.
Recognize the urge to use food as a way to numb painful emotions, and then return
food to its proper place in your life: not as a psychological defense but as a
holy gift of nutrition.
In this way, your food will participate with you in a
divine mystery of love, rather than be reduced to a mere object of consumption.
If you follow the guidance within this booklet, you will be able to say, “Thank You,
Lord, for the grace to not use food to fill my craving for love. In You, Lord, I am
filled with all the fullness of divinity; there is no greater love than this.”

Giving the Pain to God
In contrast to all the human
illusion—and sin—of anger and revenge, you have another option. That is, when you
are hurt, you don’t have to fight back, trying to hurt others as they have hurt you.
If you trust in God’s perfect justice to protect you, then you can accept all injury
quietly, peacefully, and without grumbling or protest. Despite your injuries, you can
give patience, understanding, compassion, forbearance, mercy, and forgiveness to those
who hurt you, all the while praying that they will repent their behavior.
Moreover, even if others continue to treat you unfairly, you can
still achieve healing from your emotional and psychological wounds and grow in purity
simply because you desire healing regardless of what others around you do.

 The
Veil of Purity
The Holy Purpose of the Chapel Veil
Sadly, many women who do wear a
veil do so for the wrong reasons, and most women who refuse to wear a chapel veil
don’t understand its real purpose.
So, should women wear a chapel
veil out of duty? No. Should they wear a veil only at the Latin Mass? No. Is the veil
a sign of oppression of women? No; in fact,
it’s just the opposite.
If women dress modestly at all times they will be a holy influence on men
and society, and if they cover their heads when praying they will protect themselves
spiritually from those who feed upon irreverence and impurity.
Women have a crucial mission—a mission of purity—in liberating themselves,
the Church, and society in general from the oppression of irreverence and impurity that,
day by day, are increasingly attacking us all.

 Borderline
Personality Disorder
Healing the Rage
The the whole purpose of
bringing a child into the world is to take responsibility for guiding an innocent
soul into mature purity before God. So, if your childhood was filled with loving
trust in God because your parents lived in chaste loving trust in God, then we can
say your parents loved you.
But if your childhood was filled with insecurity, hostility, self-loathing, and
disobedience, then you have the truth right under your nose. All you have to do is
see it. Here’s how to fix it.

 Catholic
Compassion
How can Catholics “take
the emphasis off sin” and focus on God’s healing mercy—and not end up
condoning sin?
All of us are tempted today
by those who try to convince us to doubt the moral teachings of the Catholic
Church.
We are induced to look with desire at behaviors that separate us from a
holy life, saying to ourselves, “How can there be anything wrong with something
that seems so nice?”
This booklet, in explaining real Catholic compassion, can help you understand how
friends, teachers, professors, the entertainment industry—and even priests, bishops,
and popes—can lead you away from God under the deceptive guise of “being
compassionate.”

Note. The text in this booklet can also be found my book Healing; see
Chapter 9 (Desire and Motivation) and Appendix III (Distractions). Nevertheless,
even if you have that book you might still want this booklet for yourself or
to give to others.
Desire and Distraction
If you desire success,
you will likely achieve it, but if, somewhere deep in your heart, you desire
failure, all your attempts to achieve success will fail.
If you don’t desire to be
healed, that’s proof that you really can’t do it all yourself. That’s proof of
your need for God. With divine grace, you can be inspired to desire healing.
But maybe you have never learned to care much about yourself, and when you don’t
care much about yourself, you don’t care about much at all—and when you don’t care
about much at all, you end up desiring failure.
You can remain in this place of not caring and just keep on
walking to your destruction. Or, if you were to notice that God has been trying
to get your attention, you would know that there is more than destruction, something so
beautiful and desirable that only one thing can resist its pull: hate.
So now, and in every moment until you die, you will have a
choice between the ugliness of hatred and the beauty of God. That decision has
to come from you.
You will go where you desire.

Stopping Smoking
Stopping Smoking Through Faith and
Prayer
If you are addicted to any
substance, you are declaring with your behavior that you “love” the addiction more
than you love God, and so you will fail to love God as Christ commanded us: You
shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with
all your mind (Matthew 22:37). But, if only you train yourself, through faith and
prayer, to desire holiness more than you desire an addiction, any addiction can be
overcome.
Accordingly, to stop smoking it will be necessary not only to overcome the addiction
to nicotine, but also it will be necessary to overcome the habit of always reaching
for a cigarette (either as a behavioral reward or as a means to relieve anxiety)
instead of reaching out to God in prayer.
If you follow the guidance within this booklet, you will be able to say, “When I trust
in You, Lord, You are my best and oldest friend. I do not need to soothe myself with
cigarettes. With Your grace, I am not a slave to impulses and addiction.”

 Breviary
& Lectionary Pronunciation Guide
In English
Have you ever questioned the
pronunciation of a word with someone who then scoffs and says, “God doesn’t care
if I don’t pronounce every word correctly!” Well, it isn’t the words themselves
that God cares about, it’s our desire to be good servants that God cares about—and
to be a good servant is to put our hearts into making liturgy as pure and beautiful
and correct as possible. Carelessness about anything only defiles the holy. So strive,
therefore, for excellence in everything.
Although other books can
be found to assist a reader with the pronunciation of Biblical names, they all have
two deficiencies. First, they are all books—that is, they are stiffly bound and
relatively thick—and so they can be cumbersome to carry around on a daily basis.
In contrast, the present booklet can be carried easily for constant reference.
Second, other books neglect many names, such as the names of saints and ancient
writers who appear often in the Liturgy of the Hours, especially in the Office of
Readings.
I have searched through several
dictionaries of the English language, as well as dictionaries and pronunciation guides
for languages such as Latin, French, Spanish, and Italian, to collect suggested
pronunciations for a comprehensive list of names that appear in English liturgy.
