"The world will be saved when we have a sufficient number of souls devoted to reparation and not before." -- Fr. Raoul Plus, S.JThe great Jesuit Fr. Raoul Plus lived and wrote in an era of immense suffering -- war, early death, religious indifference -- that coexisted, not surprisingly, with robust Catholic faith and practice. He called for spiritual maturity before greater scientific advancements. In this spiritual masterpiece, Fr. Plus explains every facet of reparation for individual penitents and offers simple, practical ways you can help repair what is falling into ruins in our Church and in our world. You will find inspiring answers to all the key questions about reparation, including: - What reparation is and why it matters - Why everyone should make reparation - How reparation should be made (and what to avoid!) - Why devotion to the Sacred Heart and the Holy Eucharist are vital to reparation - Why our Lord wants reparation to be the foundation of Christian livingFr. Plus's work is replete with compelling anecdotes that illustrate how developing a spirit of reparation is critical to advancing spiritually. Fr. Plus provides rich insights and examples from our Lady and saints who lived lives of sacrifice, including John the Evangelist, John Vianney, Mary Magdalene, Margaret Mary, and several modern saints.Through a dozen scriptural passages that Fr. Plus unpacks, you will learn the theology behind reparation and how to teach it to others. You will also learn how to develop a spirit of reparation according to the circumstances of your life, how to compensate for the sins of others, and why spiritual direction is advised for discerning the types of reparation most suitable for you.Above all, you will experience the Call of the King to discover the path that leads to the ultimate goal -- joy with the Lord in the afterlife. Each page invites you to enter into Christ's Heart by sharing in His work of redemption, even in the most seemingly insignificant ways. This book, which covers priestly, religious, and lay reparation, includes Pope Pius XI's celebrated encyclical on reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Miserentissimus Redemptor, as well as a treasury of approved reparation prayers: your complete guide to the nature and practice of reparation.

"All virtues are rare. Some are especially rare, perhaps because they possess a more delicate grain. Or perhaps there may be lacking first of all a soil of special quality, a more particularly rich ensemble of human and supernatural gifts, which is needed so that they may bloom. We should like to study briefly a few examples of these virtues. We have chosen gratitude, the spirit of recollection, the art of using time, discretion, courage in facing life, magnanimity in suffering, love of reparation, pity for those who suffer, and the apostolic spirit even to the gift of oneself. These essays are not learned studies, designed for the use of psychologists or professional moralists. They are very simple essays, varied in length, for the use of souls of good will who, in acquiring one or the other of these virtues, have met with practical difficulties which they did not expect. Sometimes is it less a question of a supernatural virtue, strictly speaking, than of a quality of a human order, a quality, moreover, worth developing because it will con- tribute much to growth in the spiritual life. Here and there, when the subject seemed to lend itself more readily, we have given illustrations. At certain times, they are more persuasive than the most beautiful theories"--

Christ urges us to pray without ceasing, but when we try to do so, many of us simply cease without praying. We're distracted by troubles or duty or we quit just because it's late already and we're tired. Fr. Raoul Plus's no-nonsense prayer manual, How to Pray Always, remedies these problems by dispelling the false notions of prayer we all have and showing how we can, in fact, pray without ceasing even at times when exhaustion cripples us and cares threaten to sweep us away. Drawing on the experience of dozens of saints, Fr. Plus explains sure ways we can recollect ourselves before prayer so that once we begin to pray, our prayers will be richer and more productive; he teaches us how to practice interior silence habitually, even in the rush and noise of the world; and he explains each of the kinds of prayer and shows when we should and should not employ each. As humans, our minds are limited and it's generally hard for us to pay attention to more than a few things at once. That's why most of us aren't able to think of God or pray while we fulfill any but the most mindless of our daily duties. No problem. For such busy occasions (which constitute most of the time for most of us), Fr. Plus explains how we can pray without words by keeping our wills united to God even when our minds must be directed elsewhere. In other words, How to Pray Always is one of those rare books that actually fulfills the promise of its title. It helps us become better Christians by showing us how to know, to love, and to serve God, and to live prayerfully and constantly in His loving presence.
