The Joy of Salvation for Catholics: A Spirituality of Abandonment Based on Complete Trust in Jesus Christ
Based on
the teachings of St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Louis de Montfort, and St. Maria Faustina
The foundation of this web site finds its roots in the article "The Teachings of St. Therese of Lisieux on Purgatory," by Fr. Hubert van Dijk, ORC. This article highlights why this young but profound Doctor of the Church taught her novices to love Jesus unreservedly and to entrust their lives and the salvation of their souls to him completely, thus avoiding Purgatory! You will learn how to release yourself from unnecessary fear, and through unwavering trust in Jesus Christ, experience the assurance of going to heaven immediately after death... You will experience the "Joy of Salvation!"
The Scorpion Files: Lies Satan Tells To Young Catholics - An Online Interactive Faith Formation Program for High School and Young Adult Catechesis
Written in the tradition of C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters, this interactive and engaging format uses reverse psychology to get to the heart of Catholic belief and practice. The lessons consist of a series of confidential letters written by an experienced demon, known only by his code name "Scorpion." In these letters one discovers Scorpion's secret instructions to an underling, Agent 6. By sharing his "trade secrets" with Agent 6, Scorpion teaches him to debilitate young Catholics spiritually by weakening their defenses against evil and sin. This curriculum provides a powerful "eye-opening" experience for Catholic teens and young adults as they learn to recognize temptation in all its subtle forms and fasten their hearts and minds on Jesus Christ and his Church.
The Scorpion Files may be read online free of charge. For those desiring to use The Scorpion Files in a religious education program, Catholic school, or home school setting, the Curriculum Resource Guide offers a complete print package. The Letters, Letter Guides, and Answer Key are downloadable in a copy-ready format and can be purchased online.
