Marie et des Saints Apôtres de Jésus, Missionnaires Franciscains
Évêque de l’Église Catholique Succession Apostolique Romaine de
Monseigneur Pierre Martin NGÖ DINH THUC venons auprès de vous
solliciter la collaboration pour faire élargir l’œuvre de Dieu .
En effet, je suis un jeune Évêque sacré le 01 Septembre 2013 au Gabon,
après ce sacre je cherche réconcilier et à cheminer ensemble avec ce
qui accepte d’être un dans le Christ.
Je compte sur votre bonne compréhension.

I was so sad today about this great apostasy. A true mass was 3 hours away, so I watched it on video. Heartbroken. Then came across this site, and filled w some hope. I feel like a mouse not going to mass, but it is novos ordo desecration so I cannot
I understand your concern, but if you have an ordinary form mass you should attend to fulfill your obligation and take communion. If you go, kneel while receiving on the tongue, dress appropriately, and pray for the true conversion of souls, you may influence others for good. If holy men and women don’t attend we can’t be an example.
Moderator I know that you are going to look at this and freak out. It doesn’t let me edit my comments once it puts it in there.
Otherwise I would have edited it after I said it. Feel free to delete what I said and maybe I could think of a better way to say it. But it is true the church was infiltrated hundred. s of years ago all you have to do is read the book, The Plot Against the Church and you would know that. I am guessing that you do. One of these people on here told another parishioner they could just go to the novus ordo mass and get the sacraments. That is truly false it is a heresy and it is a mortal sin to receive those so-called sacraments which are invalid totally invalid. Jesus is not present in those things consecration isn’t even done the right way.
I am wondering if you have ever read the 19 page article that Father Arthur W. Terminiello wrote about the ‘Illuminati in the Catholic Church.’
I have it if you want to read it I got it from a traditional catholic friend.
Our Lady of lasalette said Rome would lose the Faith and become the seat of the Antichrist. There were evil ones in the Vatican far longer than before Vatcan II.
If there had been good Catholics who were strong they would have fought against all these changes that they made changes upon changes upon changes. I think you would find the article very interesting unless you’ve already seen it and read it. Please do not post this unless you want to, but I wanted to call attention to the article that I had already posted.
Also wanted to say thank you so very much for sharing such beautiful true Catholic info, prayers and lives of the Saints, I have passed this on to 4 of my traditional catholic friends. One of them does not have internet.
Thank you again for sharing so much beautiful information and prayers. I downloaded the trial of Jesus I never even knew it existed. Copyright 1883 anytime I see old copyrights I know they’re good. They started making changes in the early 1940s. They were already in there when Pope Leo XIII was in there. If you read his prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel he said they were present and a very heart and veins of the church. They were in there like a bunch of ticks.
Again I thank you so much for this beautiful information.
If am not the owner of the site nor a priest, but you may reach out to me here if you still would like help. I will do that best of my ability to help.
Thank you for this site. You have put together an amazing resource for solid Catholic reading. I have spent hours going through everything on your site and I look forward to spending many more going through all these books. Thank you!
I am looking for a catechism to instruct my young grandchildren in the faith. I was reading a pamphlet published by a reputable publisher titled “Reminiscences of St. Anthony Mary Claret”. Accordingly, “On beginning a mission his first care was to gather the children and to teach them the catechism.” It goes on to say…”Father Claret not only wrote the catechism, but he also taught it….” Do you know if this catechism is available, and if so in English”? I would like to follow his manner and method in instructing my grandchildren.
May I recommend to you another catechism that I believe to be first and greatest among the many truly efficacious, Traditional catechisms? It is the catechism explained by Spirago. Google it and it will come right up with access on archive.org, I believe. It is enormous in size, scope, and erudite orthodoxy. Published in 1899 (the days of Baltimore Councils, Catechisms, and Cardinal Gibbons professing his faithfulness to Leo XIII while rejecting Americanism. As soon as you flip through and see the list of traditional devotions and prayers, aside from the solid doctrine, you will see the truth in my recommendation. This goes for all who may read this, as I am praying to pass on any small part of what has been so freely given to me by Catholic followers of Our Lord, like the great man responsible for this site (for whom I now pray). Tradidi quod accepi
The Baltimore Catechism, which is the American English Catechism from the Council of Trent is available here: https://miqcenter.com/.
Also, there is an exceptional audio series of the same presented by True Catholic Priest Benedict Hughes at TraditionalCatholicSermons.org under Father Benedict. Scroll down a bit and you’ll find a great treasure.
A beginner is asking which sort of e-reader would be best or is compatible with the greatest number of catholic books in particular dealing with apostolic & church fathers, desert fathers, medieval writers and especially on mysticism.
Many of these books come in the pdf format, therefore can be read on any device. The .mobi format can be read on the Kindle, which is probably the most popular e-reader.
The black and white image on your homepage – the one at the very bottom of the row of paintings on the far right – is a work that Kevin Hanlon of Smyrna, GA has written to me asking who the artist might be. Could you provide me that information? Thanks Much,
peter
Divine Mercy is a heretical book. It was placed on the list of forbidden books long ago. The true Catholic church does not acknowledge it, and John Paul II took it off the list of forbidden books.
pastor of our first perpetual adoration chapel asked St. Joseph’s Press to locate a print on St. Peter Julien Eymard.
do you know where we can obtain a copy right free image
of St. Peter Julien Eymard – a traditional image of him
near the monstrance or holding it or near the most Blessed Sacrament. If there is no public domain prints, But there is one to purchase, we would be interested in that too.
Thank you, Mrs. M. Shema
Por gracia de DIOS, he dado con su sitio en internet y he podido bajar y guardar, varios libros hermosísimos, los cuales de otra manera, me hubiese sido imposible de obtener.
Le doy las gracias y con mucho gusto pediré al Señor DIOS porque lo santifique cada vez más, y lo lleve a Su Santísimo Reino de los Cielos.
The English version is called “The Companion of Youth”; however, I don’t believe it’s available in electronic form. Perhaps you could find a (second hand) printed book on abebooks.com or similar sites.
the resources on this site, especially your library of links and catholic books is very rewarding for my spiritual growth. this site needs to stay, please advise how we can donate to it,
If it be God’s will for the site to stay, it will stay. In any case, a prayer would be much appreciated. As for donations, please give them to good traditional priests who are upholding, defending and teaching the true doctrine and trying to steer souls to heaven amidst the mass apostasy. They need our support. Thank you and God bless.
I just wanted to say thank you for all those books you made available on this website. I also hope that it is all right to copy your picture of the saints to include in my post on facebook for our church for all saints day. Keep up the awesome work you do for God!!! God Bless!!!
This is a truly amazing site and may God bless and reward you greatly for the charity shown here….I have included a link on my website http://www.reignofjesusthrumary.co.uk
Thank you. Yes, they can all be read or downloaded for free. (However, the responsibility is ultimately with the publishers who have uploaded or published the books on their websites, so depending on what you intend to do with the books – e.g. in case of any commercial activity – I’d recommend you double-check the status with the publisher. That being said, most of the books are very old and in public domain.)
I am the volunteer librarian for St. Mary Catholic Church in Delaware, OH, Adult Faith Formation. Your list is so comprehensive and what a welcome resource for our struggling first year initiative. Deo gracias!
AGRADEZCO MUCHO A ESTA PÁGINA POR SU AYUDA QUE ME HA DADO Y QUE ME VA A DAR ES VITAL PARA MI SU INFORMACIÓN PARA MI PREPARACIÓN PARA DARME A MIS HERMANOS Y APROVECHO PARA DESEARLES CON TODO QUE RECIBAN A DIOS NUESTRO SALVADOR EN UN RINCONCITO DE NUESTRO CORAZÓN PARA LLENARLO ALGÚN DÍA AL FINAL DE LOS TIEMPOS PERO POR AHORA EN UN INFÍMO LUGAR DE NUESTRO CORAZÓN, EN ESTA NAVIDAD, RECIBIENDOLO EL 25, SIN MÁS POR EL MOMENTO QUEDO DE USTEDES AGRADECIDO Y ESPERO QUE ME SIGAN COMO CONSEJERO, SU AMIGO Y HERMANO: MARIO ALBERTO TELLO GARCÍA, CUYO NOMBRE ESPIRITUAL ES “LO”
I’d like to ask everyone to kindly abstain from any debates (on theology, popes, the Church, etc) in their comments, as well as from posting anything that incites such debates. The purpose of this website is to offer an easy access to good and doctrinally sound Catholic books to anyone who wishes to read them. This site is for everyone, whether they be traditional Catholics, Novus Ordo, or non-Catholics, and irrespective of what position they hold about the post-Vatican II church and hierarchy. While each of us may have good (and sometimes theologically convincing) reasons to believe in one position or another, I think it is safe to say that nobody – except the good God – can know, with 100% certainty, what is the truth about the Conciliar Church and the post-Conciliar bishops of Rome. We will only know the truth about everything once we are in Heaven – but first we need to get there! That, and nothing else, is the aim of this website: to help souls (be it only in a very small way, by providing sound Catholic reading) live good Catholic lives and die in the grace of God.
Therefore, I will not publish comments that would make this site descend into any debates, divisions, accusations, etc – if that is your aim, there are (sadly) already plenty of other websites where you can do so. Consequently, comments that try to promote (or dismiss) one position or another will also be left unpublished – for the reason cited above – even if they may have some merit. If your recent comment has not been published or has been deleted, this was the reason.
Catholics need to treat each other in charity, and help each other where possible; infighting will not help us save souls (neither our own nor those of others). Thank you for your understanding. God bless.
To put the books onto your Kindle you can simply download the .mobi format of the book to your PC (.mobi is the standard “kindle format”, though a Kindle can also read .pdf, .doc, and some other formats) and then transfer or email it to your Kindle. I am not familiar with Kindle for Windows 8, but assume that it can be synchronized with your Kindle library. Sorry I can’t help more… probably best to read the instructions of your Kindle for Windows 8 app. 🙂
Maureen, thank yo for your kind offer. It would help if you could post a list of the books (or if you prefer you can send it by email to info (at) traditionalcatholic.co). Thank you and God bless.
Hello
I am writing from the England UK …how can I read the writings in English ? some are in English but other not when I click on them…you have THE most amazing website please let me access all your great works
Mark, not quite sure what you mean… all the links lead to english-language books (at least on my computer). Except on the one page that is specifically for spanish-language ones, of course. Can you please provide an example so that I can look into it? God bless.
Hello. This is such a great site with so much for all of us to read and learn from. We are all Blessed to have much to reach about God, The Church, Jesus, Mary, Joseph and so many other issues. God Bless
I’ve heard it said that if you help save a soul your own is thereby saved. I suspect that God Who cannot be outdone in generosity has a special reward for those who supply treasures like these books to help us!
May each good thing we find therein find its home in your soul. Thank you so much!!
Lo siento, pero no consigo encontrarlo, ni en forma física. Tan solo parece haber copias en bibliotecas (por ejemplo en la Biblioteca Nacional de España en Madrid, según la información online.)
La Casa del Libro solía venderlo pero ya está descatalogado… tal vez puede contactarles y preguntar (http://www.casadellibro.com/libro-camino-de-la-oracion-el/9788472391062/321352).
Muchísimas gracias por todos estos maravillosos libros que son una grandiosa joya para la vida de un cristiano. Mis más sinceras felicitaciones. María. Cuente con mis oraciones por su persona.
Can I use Prayers out of these Books to compile a prayer book to have printed, and it will be -0 prophite Also can OI get E-mail when new books are posted to this web site ????
I don’t see why you couldn’t use prayers from these old prayer books (which contain prayers Catholics have always prayed, and which – the prayer books, I mean – come with an imprimatur) to compile your own prayer book.
As for emailing you when new books are added: I could certainly do that; however, books are usually added at least once a week – are you sure you want to get an email every time? Will wait for your confirmation. God bless.
I have just recommended your site to my LOVE CRUCIFIED COVENANT COMMUNITY. See our site here: http://lovecrucified.com/
Also, we have just published SIMPLE PATH TO UNION WITH GOD [formation for book for Christ’s martyrs of love], and the pdf file is available free to those interested: http://lovecrucified.com/about_us/simple_path_union.pdf
Please help me identify the artwork on the sidebar of the home page. It’s the black and white titled Santa Missa e1377670194340. Showing the angel holding the chalice. I would like to obtain a copy of the original suitable for framing…
Thanks!
Kevin, unfortunately I do not know. (My guess would be it comes from an old book or holy card… or priestly ordination card or some such – but that’s just a guess.)
There is a search box (at the top of the right column)…the problem is that the search only shows you whether the title is on the list or not, but then you still need to scroll down the long list of titles to look for it. I’ve tried a number of different plugins (for search boxes) and all result in the same: they do not show the specific link to the searched for title but only the link to the main page listing all the books. If anyone knows how to fix this (or what plugin to use), kindly contact me at info (at) traditionalcatholic.co. Thank you. God bless.
On your free books page, there is a link to a pdf called “The Great Apostasy”. The file is hosted at a site theendofallends.files.wordpress.com . The pdf does not say who the author his. The site seems to be set up for this book, but I can’t find any information there either. I was wondering if you know who wrote this book. I think it’s a wonderful book, and I’d like to know more about the author, and hopefully read more of his work. I also have a few questions for him. I’m asking you because you’re the only place on the internet that links to this book, so I’m hoping you might know something.
I’m afraid I don’t know anything about the author. Have linked to the book because it seemed worth reading. Perhaps you can contact the author by submitting a comment on that site. God bless.
Unfortunately I can’t find it anywhere else (except on amazon.com). However, there are eight different biographies of St. Margaret Mary on the list, written by various priests and religious. God bless.
The Diary of St. Faustina is not in the public domain. The rights to it are held by her Order. You may be violating copyright law by sharing these bootleg files.
Also, many of the links on your free materials page are to unauthorized editions of titles hels in copyright by their authors, religious orders and publishers.
Sharing bootleg copies essentially robs Religious Orders of and essential means of support.
The Diary is on archive.org listed as being in the public domain: https://archive.org/details/St.FaustinaKowalskaDiary. (Public Domain Mark 1.0: “This work has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.”)
As you can see we do not ever upload any title but merely post links to titles already available on mainstream sites such as archive.org and similar. Therefore, if archive.org removes the link (which they would undoubtedly do if indeed any copyright had been breached), it will of course also disappear from this site.
We are sacrificing our own free time to gather links to already publicly available Catholic material for the help of the faithful, many of whom live in countries where these books are not available for purchase. We do not have ANY financial benefit from this work whatsoever – on the contrary, it costs us a considerable amount of time as well as money. It is done with only one objective – to help save souls.
It is frankly disappointing that a self-proclaimed traditional Catholic book seller would want to prevent people from having access to good Catholic reading material – especially in these times when the vast majority of “Catholic” books are more likely to lead souls to confusion, heresy and hell. (Furthermore, most people who are able to still prefer to purchase a physical book rather than read a pdf, so this is certainly no threat to your business.)
Once again, the links posted here are from well known websites such as archive.org, google books, etc, which list works in the public domain or with a licence. We have no way to verify this for each single book – therefore, if you claim the Diary of St. Faustina (and/or any other work) is published/uploaded by archive.org in breach of copyright, kindly contact archive.org. We will of course remove any title that archive.org (or any other publisher we link to) takes down or acknowledges as having breached copyright.
For the sake of transparency all messages you shall send (and all replies) will be published here in these comments.
Pls i have been searching the web for a PDF file or book on the life of st Philip benizi pls can anyone send me a link or a site where I can download it .google books does not have it
Thank you very much indeed for this great gift. Is there an index or search button? I am looking for “Let yourself be loved” by St Elizabeth of the Trinity.
Thank you very much indeed for all these links. Very kind of you to go to all that trouble. I shall take a look. The only version I had found was from Amazon; but it was so expensive I thought it might have been a mistake on their part!
Please keep up the good work – it must be a treasure for so many of us. I, for one, would have had no idea that such things exist!
Thank you so much for making available to us poor souls such a wonderful feast of good and holy materials! Every book I wanted to read and every saint I wanted to meet is on your lists and then some. I actually cried when I read some titles as I never thought in my area and with a low income such books would ever be available to me. God bless you! And I have said prayers for your sanctification as your request & your site will help with mine♡Glory to the sacred hearts of JMJ
just wonder how to get a book onto your list i have a book by fr alexis lepicier the lily of israel that has a month of meditations of st joseph it is missing one page but otherwise in tact we read it each day of march but it is ancient and tends to crumble. now that there are no longer tape recorders i dont know how to get it uploaded to use a modern phrase.
Thank you for your comment. In order to upload any book you’d first have to get it scanned. Most print shops should be able to do that for you. The resulting pdf file can then be uploaded online (assuming the book is not under copyright). God bless.
Hi there,
Thank you so much for providing free access to this inspirational catholic material. May God reward you.
Could you please advise who wrote “Suffering Sanctified”? It is full of such great wisdom. Do you know where I could access a pdf of it?
Many thanks for your work and your assistance.
God bless,
NC
Thank you for your kind comment. I’m afraid I don’t know who wrote it. Unless the author is anonymous, you may be able to get that information from jmjsite.com where the work has been published. They might also have a pdf version. God bless.
Good evening ,
I am looking for Spanish version of Un appel a L’aMOUR. I believe it is the Spanish version of the English version of The Way of Divine Love by Sister Josefa Menendez. THis is the first I have seen of your website. Thank you for being there for us. Any information or help would be appreciated.
“The Devout Mass Server” of Fr. Green is not available in electronic format. However, there are several traditional books and resources for Mass servers in the section “Traditional Liturgy” (http://www.traditionalcatholic.co/free-catholic-books-ii/). There you will also find the other books referred to in your link (Rituale Romanum, Liber Usualis, etc). God bless.
What Missal should I use…62 was warmup to novos ordo. I think 47? is 47 the one to use?
Do you have such? where could I get.
Rant-
I am so beaten down. I want to be a good father, but the Novos Ordo, it is a shame and I have abandoned it.
I read St Pius X catechism to them…but my family thinks I am crazy. I tell them they are not in union with the saints and Popes(since J 23)
Thank you for your comment. Your choice of a Missal would generally depend on what your priests use (most traditional priests, incl. the SSPX, use the 1962 rubrics). That said, you wouldn’t find it much of an issue to use an older Missal as the changes were still relatively minor; and if you wish to use the Missal for your daily reading at home, I’d certainly recommend you to pick a pre-1955 one. (The 1962 Missal includes the changes of John XXIII and Pius XII, which is where the early seeds of the destruction of the Catholic Mass had been planted. In the mid 1950s, under Pius XII, the Holy Week liturgy was modified – any pre-1955 Missal will have the original, ancient Holy Week rites.)
As for the second part of your comment: Don’t despair. If you can get to a traditional Mass, do so as often as possible (even if it requires sacrifices). You are already doing the right thing with your children – it’s important to pass the true Faith on to them, and teach them proper Catholic doctrine. You can also read them the lives of the Saints and other (age appropriate) Catholic books. As for the family members who disapprove or mock you, all you can ultimately do is pray for them. In our times many good Catholics who are clinging to the Faith are having to bear all sorts of persecutions, ridicule, insults, etc, often from their own families. The most important thing is to persevere until the very end. Our Lord will greatly reward all the sacrifices you’ve made for His sake while trying to preserve your Faith (and pass it on to your children, so that they too may save their souls). And by offering Him everything you are made to go through, you could help convert your family as well (even though that might require years of resigned suffering on your part). Trust in the good God, and do all that you can (He doesn’t ask anything impossible). God bless you.
The Mystical City of God Audio Files website does not clearly explain how to download. Instructions say to click ‘on the download symbol at the left.’ Which symbol is to be clicked upon. Have tried the m all – several languages and scripts. Here is website: https://gloria.tv/audio/baS9cFgBJLZc1xyerQLCHcGT2
Thank you. Couldn’t at the time was working on this see a way to contact the website but after Ann Boulais’ work stops – she is working on The Mystical City of God audio version, will be ok reading. If commenter below me asking about listening at work would ever want mp3 have found rosary and other prayers on Boston-catholic-journal.com which is not a strictly traditional site but which has 3 decade versions of the rosary and other prayers in Latin and in English.
Buen dia!

Dear Traditional Catholic book: I have a book uploaded to my desk top that is no longer in print – that I been able thus far to ascertain that is the book’s status –that I would like to upload to you. The tittle: ‘The Great Flaming Furnace of the Sacred Heart’ please give me the method to send it to you folks: i have it in word and PDF. I wished you to look at it and see if you wish to add it to this fantastic website
Dear Traditional Catholic books Awhile back I sent you a type out version which I did on the Book ‘The Great Flaming Furnace of the Sacred Heart’, unfortunately I had sprinkled the type out version with typos. I am in the process of uploading to my desk top the book via scanning the pages of the book. If you would like me to send you the scanned PDF pages please let me know.
Sincerely, Fred Mallaire
Thank-you, and Our Lady protect your good work of keeping these fantastic books alive
Pax Christi!
Ante todo deseo agradecerle y felicitarlo por este sitio web, es magnífico!
Mi nombre es María del Verbo Encarnado, soy una religiosa contemplativa del Monasterio de la Preciosísima Sangre (en Brooklyn, NY)
Buscando material, porque estamos completando y re-estruturando nuestra biblioteca, providencialmente encontré este sitio. Nos ha sido de enorme utilidad!
Tengo una pregunta,he visto libros muy buenos on-line pero como monjas contemplativas, el tiempo para usar internet es muy limitado, además justo uno de los libros que me interesa no está disponible, podríamos tener acceso a los libros on-line de otra forma?
Me interesan particularmente dos: “La acción del Espíritu Santo en las almas” de A. Riaud y “El Espíritu Santo” de Mons. Martínez.
Desde ya le agradezco cualquier ayuda que pueda darnos, y sinceramente cuente con nuestras oraciones.
Dios le bendiga abundantemente
Hna. María del Verbo Encarnado
hola, antes que nada gracias por darte la tarea de recopilar esas joyas de libros. quisiera pedirte si podra encontrar 2 libros: “Horas de luz” (meditaciones para todo el año) autor: Saturnino Oses y el libro “Vida de intimidad con la Santisima Virgen” autor P.J.M. de Lombaerde… de antemano gracias
I really want to say a big thank you for this wonderful site. reading from this site has been a very wonderful and enriching experience for me. However, I noticed that – Fundamentals of catholic Dogma by Ludwig Ott – has been pulled down. is there any reason for that? I really miss it
Thank you for your comment, Father. I’m afraid the book has been taken down by the websites that had uploaded it; it is not available online at present. God bless.
I am looking for some information on my 4th great uncle, Father Samuel Mazzuchelli whom i believe was baptised there around 1806. I am looking for the names of his parents and sibling. If there are any records I would surely appreciate it. Thanks so much Donna Luter
I just saw your post today. I’m a huge fan of Venerable Fr. Samuel Mazzuchelli! His cause for canonization is open in my Diocese of Madison Wisconsin USA. He was born Nov. 4, 1806 in Milan, Italy and was baptized the same day. His parents were Luigi and Rachelle Merlini Mazzuchelli. His siblings were Angela Antonia Carlina, Carlo Giovanni, Giuseppe Filippo Fernidando, Maria Teresa, Gaetano, Gaetana Giuseppa, Maria Carlina, Rosa, Giuseppa Domenica, Giulio Angelo, Angelo Francesco, Giuseppa, Maria Domenica, Carlo, and Maria Antonia Rachelle. You can find a lot of information about him online and several books have been written about him. I’ve given many tours of his sites and have been interviewed about him on Relevant Radio on the Drew Mariani Show, the most popular Catholic radio program in the USA. I’ve compiled lots of information about him which I can email you if desired. Your 4X great-uncle Fr. Samuel was amazing! You should be very proud of him! Fr. Mazzuchelli, please pray for us!
All these books are in electronic format and can be downloaded by clicking on the respective link. If you mean physical (printed) books, you’d need to purchase them from book stores. God bless.
Buenas tardes, gracias por todo este trabajo.
Estoy buscando NOSOTROS HIJOS DE DIOS, de Joseph Lucas,(Titulo alemán: Wir Kinder Gottes,1955) he leído la 3ª edición castellana, 1973; me gustaría, si es posible encontrar el formato electrónico.
Muchisismas gracias por la recopilacion de libros, es de mucha utilidad.
Me gustaria leer algo bueno sobre el apocalipsis, alguna recomendacion?
Que Dios lo Bendiga!
y muchisimas gracias otra vez
The Holy Man of Tours is here – the Life of Leon Papin Dupont; my heart is glad – am much appreciating The Golden Arrow, Sr. Mary of St. Peter’s autobiography and associated material in hard copy, and the biography of Sr. Mary of St. Peter, which is available online in the exact same way as this book just found, as copy of library copy in pdf form. Leon Dupont and sister knew each other. Both lived relatively close to our times. Merci beaucoup.
Lo siento pero no parece haber ningún libro con este título. Asumiendo que se refiere a Eugene Vandeur, tiene unos libros sobre la Misa (en Frances y Ingles) pero ninguno sobre María y la Misa. Tal vez pueda verificar el título? Dios la bendiga.
Muy Srs. nuestros:
Ya en fechas 11.09.16, 26.09.16 y 07.10.17 cuando iniciábamos nuestros trabajos nos dirigimos a Uds. en solicitud para que nos autorizaran la difusión de los títulos que figuran en “Libros Católicos Gratis en Español”, no habiendo recibido respuesta alguna en ninguno de los casos.
Ahora que estamos culminando los trabajos que permitirán el lanzamiento definitivo de la web/app Catolia.com a cuyo contenido podrán ya acceder, para su ponderación. Nuevamente nos dirigimos a Uds. con análoga pretensión, pensando por la falta de contestación en cualquier sentido, que quizás nuestra intención no llego a sus manos.
Como en todos los casos de cesión de derechos de difusión, en cada ejemplar se indica autor y entidad que nos los cede. De desearlo también incluiríamos su razón en el apartado de colaboradores.
Les recordamos que nuestro sistema de lectura no permite al usuario la descarga de los contenidos. El uso de Catolia es gratuito.
En la confianza de poder contar con su colaboración y de ser posible facilidad de acceso a los oportunos ficheros digitales en formatos docx, pdf o htlm, aunque en su defecto procederíamos a extraerlos de la red, junto con nuestra gratitud reciban nuestros mejores saludos.
César de la Prida

César, los que usted dice no corresponde a la verdad en absoluto. Le respondí (por email) tanto el día 27 de septiembre cómo el 8 de octubre 2017. De hecho usted respondió el mismo día 8 agradeciendo mi email y respuesta. Su acusación es falsa y muy poco profesional.

Manna from heaven for us poor starving Catholics!
Bless you a thousandfold. You have followed Saint Mother Theresa’s advice and “Made something beautiful for God” —-and those of us who love Him so are the beneficiaries.
I’m afraid it’s not available in electronic format (at least not in English – only in Spanish and French). There is another book by the same name that seems to be written by a French priest: https://archive.org/details/ImitationOfTheBlessedVirgin. God bless.
Thank you for your beautifully inspiring website.
As an author of Traditional Catholic books for both adults and children, I am wondering if you consider manuscripts for publication? I would feel truly blessed if you were to consider some of my as-yet unpublished books for publication.
Rafka Press have published some of my books (https://rafkapress.com/books-by-e-mary-christie.html) with more in their publishing queue, and Angelus Press published my “Prophetic Messages for Our Times” (https://angeluspress.org/products/prophetic-messages-for-our-times) with a number of manuscripts currently under review, but as the number of my manuscripts keeps growing, I am anxious to find yet a further Traditional Catholic publisher.
God bless you and thank you for your time and patience. I look forward to hearing from you at your kind convenience.
In Jesu et Maria,

Thank you for your comment and prayers. I’m afraid we don’t publish any books. This website simply lists the links to books already published online and available for free download. God bless you.
Thank you for your comment. We’ve simply listed the links to books available (in electronic format) on various websites. Therefore you’d have to direct that question to the specific site that published whichever book you’re interested it. God bless.
Hello. Thank you for this amazing site! It’s probably under my nose, but I’m not seeing the search function. Is there a way to do a search on the list?
God bless, Marisa
I love your website, thank you for this great blessing!
As an established Traditional Catholic author, I am wondering if you publish books? I have a new manuscript on the Twelve Apostles – a tour of the Holy Gospels giving identity to each of these courageous saints, following their individual presence in the life of Christ ― to include a brief historical account of what happened to each of them thereafter. Would this be of interest to you, and indeed to any of your viewers? In Jesu et Maria.
Thank you for your comment. I’m afraid we don’t publish any books; this site simply gathers the links to books already freely available online. God bless.
My name is Mike, and I heard about St Philomena, and I am realy moved by her. I have a feeling that I must promote her, for the stregthening of Faith, for which she was martyred for. I was wondering if you have any books for sale or devotional material , such as the book The Life and Miracles of St Philomena, Virgin and Martyr. Thank You, Mike
Antes que nada gracias por este sitio que alimenta el alma, los libros de San Pío V, como la de su vida del autor Dyson o el de “Padre de la cristiandad” están en inglés, habrá alguno de éstos en español?.
Dios les bendiga.
Gracias.

I am in search of two books…
Family Lives of the Saints Volume 1 and 3 by Mario L. Dittami O. Carm.
I have Vol. 2.
Any help finding where I could purchase them would be greatly appreciated!
I’m afraid I wasn’t able to find them; only volume 2 is available. The stores that did have them listed say vol. 1 and 3 are unavailable. There was an Ebay listing but it’s already been sold. Your best bet might be checking Ebay or AbeBooks.com from time to time. God bless.
Hi – I’m a software developer (retired) and wanting to do a Catholic based mobile app. I found this website and thought it would be a great source of data for an app. Do you provide any API access to the data? Do you have any way I can access the data other then via the web site? Please communicate w/ me privately with my email. Many thanks…
Hola, me llamo Ariel y estoy buscando un libro de Monseñor Fulton Sheen, titulado “El sacerdote no se pertenece”.
Tengo la versión original en inglés, pero quería conseguirlo para un sacerdote amigo.
Espero que me puedan ayudar.
Muchas gracias.
Gracias por su comentario. Lo siento pero no lo encuentro (en Español) no sólo en el formato electrónico sino tanpoco el libro físico. Dios lo bendiga.
The search box is on top of the right-hand column. If you can’t find the book you’re looking for, you can write the title and author’s name here in the comments. God bless.
I have been looking for the book The Love of the Crucified: 100 Meditations on the Passion of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by Rev. Karl Clemens. The hard copy is not to be found. Any suggestions?
GREAT BOOK!
I’m afraid I haven’t been able to find it either. There is no electronic version available, and the paper book is out of print. You may want to occasionally check for it at abebooks.com (they list second hand books from hundreds of stores). God bless.
Buenos días. He estado buscando el libro de los ejercicios de Santa Gertrudis de Helfta. No lo he podido encontrar en formato pdf. Lo tendría usted. Gracias
En esta página puede bajarlos (en el primer link) en formato zip; dentro de la carpeta hay cada uno de los ejercicios en formato pdf: http://www.soledadmariana.com.ar/charlas-videos/santa-gertrudis.html. No sé si es el libro completo pero hay 7 ejercicios de S. Gertrudis en esta versión. Dios la bendiga.
The only images we’ve ever used were those widely available online with no mention of authorship or copyright, therefore your message is rather surprising. If you own the copyright to any of the images kindly send us the relevant information and the image will be promptly removed.
I was hoping that you could update this list with a section of books that are fiction and yet based on Orthodox Catholic theology and themes.
Books such as Lord of the Rings, Quo Vadis, The Greatest Story Ever Told, Flannery O Connor’s Wise Blood and The Violent Bear it Away, and various others. Any suggestions would be greatly helpful.
That exact title is a recently published version and as such under copyright, thus not available online for free. However, here is the original (1917) version of the book, called “Loreto and the Holy House”: https://archive.org/details/loretoandtheholy00philuoft/page/n5. God bless.
Hi! I am trying to find a book called Sacred Heart Prayer Book…it has been around for some time (before 1992) and was in a blue cover….it talks about iut not only the devotion to the sacred heart but also has God’s revelations to multiple saints about His love. All i can find right now is a recent book with the same name and missing the quotes etc. i saw it once on ewtn with Mother Angelica. Any info is appreciated! Thank you!
I’m afraid I don’t know which version that may be. Searching for “Sacred Heart prayer book” in Google, there are at least 5 different prayer books with such title, sold by various websites. Perhaps one of those is a new edition of the book you’re looking for? I’ve not been able to find a free electronic version. God bless.

Buenas tarde, me llamo José Manuel,

Estoy buscando la biografía de S. Ireneo y sus obras en pdf. y no he encontrado nada.
Si pudiera ayudarme…se lo agradezco en el día de la Misericordia.
Cuente con mi agradecimiento y oraciones.
Gracias por su comentario y oraciones. Aquí está la obra de San Ireneo “Contra las Herejías”, en cinco tomos: https://mercaba.org/TESORO/IRENEO/00_Sumario.htm. También la puede descargar en pdf en el siguiente sitio web (está en la sección “Santos Padres”): http://apostoladomariano.com. Dios lo bendiga.
I don’t believe it exists in English. There seem to be only an Italian and a Spanish version, both of which are only available as print books. You could try to check with her convent: https://www.santaveronicagiuliani.it/publications/?lang=en. God bless.
May our Blessed Mother Mary reward you all who are contributing immensely for the arrangement of this work of priceless spiritual good to users.
please i have a book titled “The Science of the Saints”, but i only have the first volume that covers January to April, please can you send me a pdf link of the other volumes.
Dear Friends,
The link for Life Everlasting (Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange) doesn’t bring up the book- could you please let me know if there is another link.
Thankyou!
I have a question. I have a text (in PDF) version of an 11 hour lecture given by Mr. Guido DelRose, former custodian of the U.S. National Pilgrim Virgin Statue, entitled: “Fatima & The Last Times Apostasy” He studied Fatima extensively and was considered internationally known regarding his knowledge on Fatima. Could the text version of this talk be made available on this site?
Thank you for your comment. IF the lecture is truly Catholic (i.e. conforming to traditional Catholic teaching, not modernist one) and you have permission to publish it online, sure. You can simply upload it on any file sharing website and send us the link. God bless.
If it is possible would you recommend a comprehensive book on Traditional Catholic Mystical Theology from the long list of books you have available through your very helpful website? Thank you, and I will pray for you in my daily Mass intentions and prayers. Please pray for the diocese of Syracuse NY, and for me.
In Jesus and Mary,
C.S.
Buenos días,quería saber si se puede conseguir en pdf la obra del P. Luis de la Puente: “Tratado de la perfección del cristiano en todos los estados” Un millón de gracias por el sitio. Les aseguro tenerlos especialmente en mis oraciones
Can you find me a catechism commentary of the CCC or catechism of that sort so that I can teach my 6 yrs old brother the faith?
Also, I don’t know how to use the search function could you help me with that
Thank you for your comment. It’s great that you wish to teach your little brother the faith! On this page http://www.traditionalcatholic.co/free-catholic-books-ii/, in the section “Catholic Bible, Catechism, Doctrine” you will see several catechism for children (incl. the Baltimore catechism for First Communion, a couple of illustrated catechisms, and several others specifically for children). Have a look at them to see which one suits you and your brother best. The search box is located in the right hand column, above the picture of St. Philomena. An alternative way to search, on any particular page, is to press CTRL + F, which will bring up a search box where you can write in the word(s) – i.e. title or author. All matches will be brought up and highlighted. God bless.
I am looking for a Traditional Catholic Tridentine rite mass that I can follow daily online. Please point me in the right direction. Thank you and God Bless.
Thank you for your comment. Almost any spiritual book can be used for meditation, so it comes down to your personal preferences. The Imitation of Christ is (and has been for centuries) hugely popular as a meditation aid. Writings of saints (such as the meditations and reflexions of St. Alphonsus, for instance) can also be of help. God bless.
Thanks for making all the books available to nurture our souls. May your good and hard work be rewarded on earth and in heaven. I am looking to read “the third spiritual alphabet” in English or French, would you know where a free pdf or audio may be available. Thank you!
Many thanks for your comment and apologies for the delay. I’m afraid the only place I was able to find the English translation is on archive.org, but it’s only available to “borrow” online…not exactly sure how that works: https://archive.org/details/thirdspiritualal0000osun. God bless.
I have studied the divine prophecies and revelations for years and have understood them and am compiling them into a non-redundant, chronological story of God’s plan for the Apocalypse, the Last Centuries of Man upon the Earth. I am hoping to complete it and get it out before the end of the year. I have a summary of it that contains a warning that needs to go out now: the Great Chastisement of God, which has been repeatedly postponed, will begin next year, it will be the greatest punishment from God since the Great Flood of Noah, and few people will survive it. Next year President Trump will die in office, a second civil war will begin in America, and then the Third World War will begin oversees.
God wanted it known before the Great Events begin because when they begin the chaos and destruction may make it impossible to get the word out. People need to prepare now, for those who are prepared have a better chance of surviving. Will you post a summary overview that I have written of what is coming? I would upload it in PDF form for anyone to download for free from your site.
May the peace of the Eucharistic Jesus be with you.
Would you happen to know how to get a copy of St. Leonard’s Way of the Cross by St. Leonard of Port Maurice? It is very difficult to locate a copy. Your help would be appreciated.
Hi WebMaster! I have a book called “Viaje a Lourdes”, from Alexis Carrel, and I would like to share it with you all, so you can include it in the Spanish book list. How can we accomplish that?
I am trying to get access to a book called, “The School of Darkness,” however, upon clicking the link, it sends me to a new page stating: “Error 404 Not Found and to contact the website owner.”
I was looking into statistical information regarding the number of priest that left the church after Vatican Council II and the following site came up : http://www.traditionalcatholicpriest.com/2014/01/27/more-statistics-that-traditional-catholics-are-concerned-about/” but when i clicked on the link it stated the following: Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress. Is the site listed above related to your site? if so how may i tap into the statistical info?
thank you
I have an old book out of Print “the Great Flaming Furnace of the Sacred Heart”
I have it in PDF and can upload it for someone to look at the book.
The book was found years ago amongst my mom’s belongings when she passed away.
A friend of mine, a business man, went back to the place the book originated and found that the publishing place no longer existed.
My Friend talked to an elderly Priest near the location and then saying the Tridentine/ Latin/ Extraordinary form Mass who coincidently new the young lady who lived in the 1950s that our Lord spoke to and asked of her to make her whole life in joys and sorrows acts of reparation for the Priests who strayed from our Master’s embrace, and this elderly Priest verified the holiness and stability of the young lady. The book develops a close relationship that our Master wants for all of us and leaves one with the absolute knowledge that our Jesus will never leave us alone unless we deliberately drive our Lord away.
This Priest who communicated the veracity of the book has more then a few years ago gone on to our Lord.
Thank you for your comment. If you upload the book (assuming no copyright) we can put the link up on the book page. (There already seems to be a 19-page booklet with the same title; not sure whether it is the same one: https://fliphtml5.com/ljed/jbky/basic.) God bless.
Antes que nada quisiera agradecer por este apostolado que nos facilita el acceso a la buena literatura. Quisiera también preguntar si puede recomendarme algún libro en específico sobre la educación de hijos varones (puede ser en inglés, si no existiera la versión en español).
De antemano muchas gracias.
Thank you for your comment. I haven’t been able to find the book itself, only articles that seem to refer to it and seem to reproduce parts of it. Perhaps someone else can help… God bless you.
Would you please be able to upload a PDF version of the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska: Divine Mercy in My Soul if possible? Thank you and God bless.
To whom it may concern,
My name is Fr. Stephen Arabadjis. I am a member of the Society of St. Pius X. But I am in my 7th year of Sabbatical.Therefore I was hoping your group could do a 54 day rosary novena for my intentions. But any prayers and sacrifices would be greatly appreciated. I know Our Lady will reward you generously for this.
In Our Lady,
Fr. Arabadjis
P.S. Thanking you in advance, since I don’t always get all my communications.
God Bless You All for creating this free absolute treasure trove of books to share! Thank You & I look forward to sharing it with my friends as well.
For anyone who wants more than the “modern” Catholic Mass, look up the FSSP or SSPX to find a (Pre-Vatican 2) TRADITIONAL Latin Mass from priests who only use the old Mass prayers (along with the ancient rites & minor exorcisms within)… It provides more protection, and it seems that along with myself millions of other Catholics are finding this to be what we we reverently refer to as a COMPLETE MASS, without all the sad deletions from Vatican II.
My entire spiritual growth has skyrocketed since March 2020, and I thank Jesus for leading me to both FSSP & SSPX churches (Both offer Traditional Mass & values).
May Christ strengthen & protect us all, as we have entered the beginning of the End Times. Remember to FOCUS on JESUS & NOT the STORM around Us.
His books are available on archive.org. Some can be downloaded in pdf and others only read online (or ‘borrowed’ in electronic version, with a free account): https://archive.org/details/paulapostle0000ricc. God bless.
“The Church’s Year: Explanation of the Epistles and Gospels (Fr. Leonhard Goffine)”

Thank you for mantaining this website. It has been a real blessing to so many.
Hello. I am trying to download Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma by Ludwig Ott and I cannot obtain the file to download or to read. Would it be possible for you to guide me as to how to download the file or access it to read?
I am looking for the prayer in latin for absolution after a person has confessed and offered the prayer of contrition. Have been able to find and would appreciate any help you could provide.
LATIN PRAYER. ASPECTS OF LANGUAGE AND CATHOLIC SPIRITUALITY
By
Professor David Ian Birch B.A (Hons) D.Phil.
Praying in Latin has been part of Catholic life for almost 2,000 years. Each Latin prayer, whether prayed in public worship, or in private contemplation, is saturated with the very rich history of the Catholic Church. The place of Latin prayer thus forms an intrinsic part of the deep and extensive patrimony that is Catholic Tradition. Latin Prayer. Aspects of Language and Catholic Spirituality offers a grammar of prayer, with a linguist’s eye for language, and with a Catholic heart for the numinous, which, linguistically and spiritually, is steeped in this patrimony and Tradition.
Over 13 detailed chapters, exploring a wide range of grammatical, linguistic and stylistic features of Latin prayer, and including a very comprehensive bibliography of Liturgical Latin, this book seeks to offer a linguistic means to exploring, and articulating, some of the spiritual depths that lie at the heart of the Latin prayer of the Church.
This is not a ‘how to learn Latin’ book, nor is it a compendium of Latin prayers, but a sustained meditation on prayer, using both a linguistics and theological/scriptural vocabulary, and written by a now retired academic, who has spent a lifetime, as first medieval and then modern linguist, praying both public and increasingly now, private Latin prayer.
It is hoped that those who know no Latin will be inspired by this book to learn it, and those who know it, and perhaps some, or all, of the prayers included here, to revisit it, perhaps with renewed eyes and heart. Above all, it is hoped that everyone, regardless of linguistic skills, will, through these pages, acknowledge, and indeed marvel at, the depth of Catholic patrimony and Tradition in Latin prayer, and its power and potency as a still completely relevant way of prayer.
This is not a call to traditionalist arms; nor a condemnation or critique of contemporary post-Vatican II vernacular Catholicism, but an embrace of the prayer of the Church across its entire history, regardless of how parts of that history may now be viewed.
Available in paperback and as an e-book at https://www.amazon.com; online bookstores or please support your local bookshop by ordering it with its ISBN- 978-0-6454193-0-6

TC, thank you for offering these wonderful books for everyone to enjoy. We have thousands of old Traditional Catholic books in our barn and elsewhere. We were selling them for a time, years ago, but haven’t for several years. I absolutely love what you are doing here to share the electronic versions with the world, and would like to do the same with ours. I have digitized about 100 of them so far and would like to know if you would like to put them on your site. I can upload them to you. I’ll choose books you don’t have, or I can give you a list, and you may know of some you have that are not in very good condition.
God Bless you for all that you are doing and let me know if you are interested in these books that we have.
Please respond to my email, and not just here, because I might miss this message.
Couldn’t you kindly tell me if there are any traditional adult education/faith sharing/Bible study live on Zoom in which participants can raise questions and foster fellowship, in English?
My Novus Ordo “friends” don’t approve my attending SSPX Mass, and I feel alone in a non English-speaking country.
Here SSPX rents a community center and have three Masses consecutively, and there is no time and physical space for the faithful to talk to the presiding priest or socialise with other faithful.
I’m afraid I don’t know of any such space/group online. Perhaps your visiting priest could help with some suggestion? Or you could try to ask in the comments of some of the traditional Catholic Youtube channels that have larger audience. God bless you.
do you have available the Sunday Mass Booklets, either a standard one which applies to all Sundays of the year, without the daily readings, or one for the Sunday 14/08/2022 and Sunday 21/08/2022 with the daily readings
Hello,
Currently I am using Novus Ordo Christian Prayer (modern version of Divine Office) and am wondering if you could direct me to the Traditional Catholic Divine Office with feast day of saints.
I thank you and God bless!
Thank you for your comment. You can find different versions of it here (with translation into several languages): https://divinumofficium.com/cgi-bin/horas/officium.pl. You can also find traditional Divinum Officium versions in pdf format online, from different centuries. However, they are in Latin only, unlike the website above. God bless you.
Estoy buscando en pdf el libro “El sentido cristiano de la historia” de Dom Guéranger. Puede ser en francés también: “Jésus-Christ, Roi de l’histoire”.
Muchas gracias por todos los libros de esta página. He bajado muchísimos y toda la familia los disfruta.
I currently have the Douay-Rheims Bible, in English.
I am looking to purchase copies of the Douay-Rheims Bible, in Spanish.
I don’t know if they were ever published in Spanish.
If it has never been published in Spanish perhaps there is an accurate equivalent to the Douay-Rheims Bible that I can purchase.
Hello,
I am having trouble finding a book with the whole script of what the priest says to bless water before Vatican II. Will it show each time the priest makes the Sign of the Cross. I heard that the priest makes the Sign of the Cross eleven times during the blessing. I also heard that blessed water prior to Vatican II can take away venial sins each time a person blesses himself with the blessed water. Sadly I learned that today’s blessed water does not take away venial sins. I think one of the books on your website would have what I am looking for. Sincerely, Jacqueline Tucek
“Five sample intentions for the 5 decades of the Holy Rosary in reparation to the Holy Eucharist”.
A Catholic Bishop wrote to me recently and thanked me for the information on where to find the intentions and asked that I continue telling others about them. I sincerely hope you and others like the intentions. Other intentions can be added to these:
1) In reparation for desecrated Hosts…
2) In reparation for sacrilegious receptions of the Holy Eucharist…
3) In reparation for unbelief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, especially among Catholics…
4) In reparation for lukewarm receptions of the Holy Eucharist…
5) In reparation for all of my sins and those of the whole world, for a great resurgence of belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, and for a great increase of love for Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
Fr. Lawrence Lew O.P., Rector of the Rosary Shrine of London and Promoter General of the Holy Rosary recently emailed me to assure that he would be adding these intentions to the Rosary Processions at the shrine.
Greetings in Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Thank you the library . I am trying to find a Roman Ritual in English -blessing Holy Water, etc, the old form if possible.. If you could suggest a search term… as everything I try goes nowhere.
It will be somewhere in the Rituale Romanum (there are versions with English translations as well, though most of the pre-Vatican II ones are in Latin). All the blessings are in the Rituale, just look at the index to find the appropriate page. (Here is the 1964 English version; you may want to look for an earlier version though, as by 1964 some changes had already been made: https://sensusfidelium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Roman-Rite.pdf.) Here is a comparison of the traditional and the new blessing of water: https://wdtprs.com/2018/01/ask-father-how-long-does-holy-water-stay-blessed/.
God bless.

solliciter la collaboration pour faire élargir l’œuvre de Dieu .
En effet, je suis un jeune Évêque sacré le 01 Septembre 2013 au Gabon,

I was so sad today about this great apostasy. A true mass was 3 hours away, so I watched it on video. Heartbroken. Then came across this site, and filled w some hope. I feel like a mouse not going to mass, but it is novos ordo desecration so I cannot
I understand your concern, but if you have an ordinary form mass you should attend to fulfill your obligation and take communion. If you go, kneel while receiving on the tongue, dress appropriately, and pray for the true conversion of souls, you may influence others for good. If holy men and women don’t attend we can’t be an example.
Hello, when you say “ordinary” what do you mean? novus ordo?
Moderator I know that you are going to look at this and freak out. It doesn’t let me edit my comments once it puts it in there.
Otherwise I would have edited it after I said it. Feel free to delete what I said and maybe I could think of a better way to say it. But it is true the church was infiltrated hundred. s of years ago all you have to do is read the book, The Plot Against the Church and you would know that. I am guessing that you do. One of these people on here told another parishioner they could just go to the novus ordo mass and get the sacraments. That is truly false it is a heresy and it is a mortal sin to receive those so-called sacraments which are invalid totally invalid. Jesus is not present in those things consecration isn’t even done the right way.
I am wondering if you have ever read the 19 page article that Father Arthur W. Terminiello wrote about the ‘Illuminati in the Catholic Church.’
I have it if you want to read it I got it from a traditional catholic friend.
Our Lady of lasalette said Rome would lose the Faith and become the seat of the Antichrist. There were evil ones in the Vatican far longer than before Vatcan II.
If there had been good Catholics who were strong they would have fought against all these changes that they made changes upon changes upon changes. I think you would find the article very interesting unless you’ve already seen it and read it. Please do not post this unless you want to, but I wanted to call attention to the article that I had already posted.
Also wanted to say thank you so very much for sharing such beautiful true Catholic info, prayers and lives of the Saints, I have passed this on to 4 of my traditional catholic friends. One of them does not have internet.
Thank you again for sharing so much beautiful information and prayers. I downloaded the trial of Jesus I never even knew it existed. Copyright 1883 anytime I see old copyrights I know they’re good. They started making changes in the early 1940s. They were already in there when Pope Leo XIII was in there. If you read his prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel he said they were present and a very heart and veins of the church. They were in there like a bunch of ticks.
Again I thank you so much for this beautiful information.
I need help with my path. Is there someway I can write to you privately?
If am not the owner of the site nor a priest, but you may reach out to me here if you still would like help. I will do that best of my ability to help.
Please do you have the book: The Perfection of the Spiritual Life by St Thomas Aquinas?
Did you get the help you need?
Thank you for this site. You have put together an amazing resource for solid Catholic reading. I have spent hours going through everything on your site and I look forward to spending many more going through all these books. Thank you!
I am looking for a catechism to instruct my young grandchildren in the faith. I was reading a pamphlet published by a reputable publisher titled “Reminiscences of St. Anthony Mary Claret”. Accordingly, “On beginning a mission his first care was to gather the children and to teach them the catechism.” It goes on to say…”Father Claret not only wrote the catechism, but he also taught it….” Do you know if this catechism is available, and if so in English”? I would like to follow his manner and method in instructing my grandchildren.
Google books have a (free) pdf version of it in spanish. Not sure whether it has ever been translated to english.
https://books.google.com/books?id=6bsgVNPvlZgC&pg=PA502&lpg=PA502&dq=antonio+maria+claret+catecismo+de+la+doctrina+cristiana&source=bl&ots=YBIj7oevmf&sig=61ERFKSQWDf-PByqqlaPgDmGrYc&hl=en&sa=X&ei=T4EPVYeDA4jiaMzHgZgN&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=antonio%20maria%20claret%20catecismo%20de%20la%20doctrina%20cristiana&f=false
May I recommend to you another catechism that I believe to be first and greatest among the many truly efficacious, Traditional catechisms? It is the catechism explained by Spirago. Google it and it will come right up with access on archive.org, I believe. It is enormous in size, scope, and erudite orthodoxy. Published in 1899 (the days of Baltimore Councils, Catechisms, and Cardinal Gibbons professing his faithfulness to Leo XIII while rejecting Americanism. As soon as you flip through and see the list of traditional devotions and prayers, aside from the solid doctrine, you will see the truth in my recommendation. This goes for all who may read this, as I am praying to pass on any small part of what has been so freely given to me by Catholic followers of Our Lord, like the great man responsible for this site (for whom I now pray).

Thank you for your suggestion and for your prayers. Here is the link to Fr. Spirago’s catechism: https://archive.org/details/catechismexplain00spiruoft. (And here is his book “Anecdotes and Examples Illustrating the Catholic Catechism”: https://archive.org/details/AnecdotesAndExamplesIllustrating.) God bless you.
The Baltimore Catechism, which is the American English Catechism from the Council of Trent is available here: https://miqcenter.com/.
Also, there is an exceptional audio series of the same presented by True Catholic Priest Benedict Hughes at TraditionalCatholicSermons.org under Father Benedict. Scroll down a bit and you’ll find a great treasure.
I am a priest. Just saw your website, so great. Is it possible to subscribe me to your website to get updates
Love your website. Thank you ever so much for all this beautiful Traditional Catholic material.
I would like to read how to b a better Christian. Kids of only child. Grieving. Faith. Walk it not talk it . Etc.
” Looking for Knox Bible pdf download”
Here is the Knox Bible online: http://catholicbible.online/knox. (Can’t find it in pdf format though.)
Edit: The Knox New Testament is now available in pdf: https://isidore.co/calibre/browse/book/6568. God bless.
A beginner is asking which sort of e-reader would be best or is compatible with the greatest number of catholic books in particular dealing with apostolic & church fathers, desert fathers, medieval writers and especially on mysticism.
Many of these books come in the pdf format, therefore can be read on any device. The .mobi format can be read on the Kindle, which is probably the most popular e-reader.
The black and white image on your homepage – the one at the very bottom of the row of paintings on the far right – is a work that Kevin Hanlon of Smyrna, GA has written to me asking who the artist might be. Could you provide me that information? Thanks Much,
peter
Peter, I am afraid I do not know the answer.
God bless.
Thank you for all of the hard work you have done. Kindly include me into your mailing list.

Diary: Divine Mercy in my Soul by St Maria Faustina Kowalska is missing!
https://liturgicalyear.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/divine-mercy-in-my-soul.pdf
Divine Mercy is a heretical book. It was placed on the list of forbidden books long ago. The true Catholic church does not acknowledge it, and John Paul II took it off the list of forbidden books.
pastor of our first perpetual adoration chapel asked St. Joseph’s Press to locate a print on St. Peter Julien Eymard.
do you know where we can obtain a copy right free image
of St. Peter Julien Eymard – a traditional image of him
near the monstrance or holding it or near the most Blessed Sacrament. If there is no public domain prints, But there is one to purchase, we would be interested in that too.
Thank you, Mrs. M. Shema
have you got any free prayer books you can send me catholic books free
Ken, there is now a section called ‘Prayer Books’ at the bottom of the ‘Free Catholic Books’ page. More prayer books will be added when time permits.
Hola muy estimado en Nuestro Señor JESUCRISTO.
Por gracia de DIOS, he dado con su sitio en internet y he podido bajar y guardar, varios libros hermosísimos, los cuales de otra manera, me hubiese sido imposible de obtener.
Le doy las gracias y con mucho gusto pediré al Señor DIOS porque lo santifique cada vez más, y lo lleve a Su Santísimo Reino de los Cielos.
Gracias por su comentario y oraciones. Dios la bendiga.
You have so many books! Awesome!
Do you happen to have an English translation of Don Bosco’s book for youth? Il Giovane provveduto?
The English version is called “The Companion of Youth”; however, I don’t believe it’s available in electronic form. Perhaps you could find a (second hand) printed book on abebooks.com or similar sites.
This piqued my interest as I love Don Bosco. I have never heard of this book before but I have discovered that a new English translation by Francesca Mignosa is currently being edited and should be available from the USA soon. Please see
https://francescamignosa.wordpress.com/2015/01/04/my-translation-of-saint-john-boscos-il-giovane-provveduto-1885-soon-published-in-the-usa/
the resources on this site, especially your library of links and catholic books is very rewarding for my spiritual growth. this site needs to stay, please advise how we can donate to it,
If it be God’s will for the site to stay, it will stay. In any case, a prayer would be much appreciated. As for donations, please give them to good traditional priests who are upholding, defending and teaching the true doctrine and trying to steer souls to heaven amidst the mass apostasy. They need our support. Thank you and God bless.
Greetings TC! Pax! Please write to me at your first convenience regarding books being censored out.
Hello, I am wondering if you know of a source which lists Bible references and which Mass they might be found in?
Thank you! God bless you!
WONDERFUL Site………Thank you for all he work!
What a great assortment of books-if only more were in the audio format!
I just wanted to say thank you for all those books you made available on this website. I also hope that it is all right to copy your picture of the saints to include in my post on facebook for our church for all saints day. Keep up the awesome work you do for God!!! God Bless!!!
This is a truly amazing site and may God bless and reward you greatly for the charity shown here….I have included a link on my website http://www.reignofjesusthrumary.co.uk
Are these definitely all free?
Thank you. Yes, they can all be read or downloaded for free. (However, the responsibility is ultimately with the publishers who have uploaded or published the books on their websites, so depending on what you intend to do with the books – e.g. in case of any commercial activity – I’d recommend you double-check the status with the publisher. That being said, most of the books are very old and in public domain.)
Thank you very much!!! Great job!! My pray for you!!!
I am the volunteer librarian for St. Mary Catholic Church in Delaware, OH, Adult Faith Formation. Your list is so comprehensive and what a welcome resource for our struggling first year initiative. Deo gracias!

http://fisheaters.com/srpdf/xartofmentalprayer.pdf
Thanks! Have replaced it with a correct one.
I’d like to ask everyone to kindly abstain from any debates (on theology, popes, the Church, etc) in their comments, as well as from posting anything that incites such debates. The purpose of this website is to offer an easy access to good and doctrinally sound Catholic books to anyone who wishes to read them. This site is for everyone, whether they be traditional Catholics, Novus Ordo, or non-Catholics, and irrespective of what position they hold about the post-Vatican II church and hierarchy. While each of us may have good (and sometimes theologically convincing) reasons to believe in one position or another, I think it is safe to say that nobody – except the good God – can know, with 100% certainty, what is the truth about the Conciliar Church and the post-Conciliar bishops of Rome. We will only know the truth about everything once we are in Heaven – but first we need to get there! That, and nothing else, is the aim of this website: to help souls (be it only in a very small way, by providing sound Catholic reading) live good Catholic lives and die in the grace of God.
Therefore, I will not publish comments that would make this site descend into any debates, divisions, accusations, etc – if that is your aim, there are (sadly) already plenty of other websites where you can do so. Consequently, comments that try to promote (or dismiss) one position or another will also be left unpublished – for the reason cited above – even if they may have some merit. If your recent comment has not been published or has been deleted, this was the reason.
Catholics need to treat each other in charity, and help each other where possible; infighting will not help us save souls (neither our own nor those of others). Thank you for your understanding. God bless.
How does one get the Kindle
format to work in Kindle for the Windows 8.0 version?
To put the books onto your Kindle you can simply download the .mobi format of the book to your PC (.mobi is the standard “kindle format”, though a Kindle can also read .pdf, .doc, and some other formats) and then transfer or email it to your Kindle. I am not familiar with Kindle for Windows 8, but assume that it can be synchronized with your Kindle library. Sorry I can’t help more… probably best to read the instructions of your Kindle for Windows 8 app. 🙂
i have a load of catholic literature books, stories of the saints, mass books and pamphlets. Is there anyone who can make use of these books.
Maureen, thank yo for your kind offer. It would help if you could post a list of the books (or if you prefer you can send it by email to info (at) traditionalcatholic.co). Thank you and God bless.
Hello
I am writing from the England UK …how can I read the writings in English ? some are in English but other not when I click on them…you have THE most amazing website please let me access all your great works
May God bless you
Mark
Mark, not quite sure what you mean… all the links lead to english-language books (at least on my computer). Except on the one page that is specifically for spanish-language ones, of course. Can you please provide an example so that I can look into it? God bless.
Hello. This is such a great site with so much for all of us to read and learn from. We are all Blessed to have much to reach about God, The Church, Jesus, Mary, Joseph and so many other issues. God Bless
I’ve heard it said that if you help save a soul your own is thereby saved. I suspect that God Who cannot be outdone in generosity has a special reward for those who supply treasures like these books to help us!
May each good thing we find therein find its home in your soul. Thank you so much!!
Por favor,

¡buenas noches!, mi nombre es ángel…
estoy buscando un libro del padre gabriel de santa maría magdalena llamado “el camino de la oración”…
agradecería cualquier orientación para su localización (si es el libro físico mejor)…
muchas gracias
un saludo cordial
…todo bajo el cielo…
Lo siento, pero no consigo encontrarlo, ni en forma física. Tan solo parece haber copias en bibliotecas (por ejemplo en la Biblioteca Nacional de España en Madrid, según la información online.)
La Casa del Libro solía venderlo pero ya está descatalogado… tal vez puede contactarles y preguntar (http://www.casadellibro.com/libro-camino-de-la-oracion-el/9788472391062/321352).
Muchísimas gracias por todos estos maravillosos libros que son una grandiosa joya para la vida de un cristiano. Mis más sinceras felicitaciones. María. Cuente con mis oraciones por su persona.
Can I use Prayers out of these Books to compile a prayer book to have printed, and it will be -0 prophite Also can OI get E-mail when new books are posted to this web site ????
I don’t see why you couldn’t use prayers from these old prayer books (which contain prayers Catholics have always prayed, and which – the prayer books, I mean – come with an imprimatur) to compile your own prayer book.
As for emailing you when new books are added: I could certainly do that; however, books are usually added at least once a week – are you sure you want to get an email every time? Will wait for your confirmation. God bless.
I have just recommended your site to my LOVE CRUCIFIED COVENANT COMMUNITY. See our site here: http://lovecrucified.com/
Also, we have just published SIMPLE PATH TO UNION WITH GOD [formation for book for Christ’s martyrs of love], and the pdf file is available free to those interested: http://lovecrucified.com/about_us/simple_path_union.pdf
Please help me identify the artwork on the sidebar of the home page. It’s the black and white titled Santa Missa e1377670194340. Showing the angel holding the chalice. I would like to obtain a copy of the original suitable for framing…
Thanks!
Kevin, unfortunately I do not know. (My guess would be it comes from an old book or holy card… or priestly ordination card or some such – but that’s just a guess.)
wonderful site but he’s the but trying to find some thing is difficult no search box God Bless
There is a search box (at the top of the right column)…the problem is that the search only shows you whether the title is on the list or not, but then you still need to scroll down the long list of titles to look for it. I’ve tried a number of different plugins (for search boxes) and all result in the same: they do not show the specific link to the searched for title but only the link to the main page listing all the books. If anyone knows how to fix this (or what plugin to use), kindly contact me at info (at) traditionalcatholic.co. Thank you. God bless.
On your free books page, there is a link to a pdf called “The Great Apostasy”. The file is hosted at a site theendofallends.files.wordpress.com . The pdf does not say who the author his. The site seems to be set up for this book, but I can’t find any information there either. I was wondering if you know who wrote this book. I think it’s a wonderful book, and I’d like to know more about the author, and hopefully read more of his work. I also have a few questions for him. I’m asking you because you’re the only place on the internet that links to this book, so I’m hoping you might know something.
I’m afraid I don’t know anything about the author. Have linked to the book because it seemed worth reading. Perhaps you can contact the author by submitting a comment on that site. God bless.
To Whom It May Concern:
When I clicked on “Fatima — in Lucia’s Own Words” pdf, Error 403 from di.dropboxusercontent.com was received.
Can someone help me with this?
Sincerely.
Here is the pdf: http://www.pastorinhos.com/_wp/wp-content/uploads/MemoriasI_en.pdf.
Thank you so very much! God Bless you!
Do you have a link for Autobiography of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque – pdf, also?
The same error message 403 is received.
Thank you, again.
Unfortunately I can’t find it anywhere else (except on amazon.com). However, there are eight different biographies of St. Margaret Mary on the list, written by various priests and religious. God bless.
Do you have any material on St. Faustina and Divine Mercy?
Here is her Diary: https://archive.org/details/St.FaustinaKowalskaDiary. God bless.
The Diary of St. Faustina is not in the public domain. The rights to it are held by her Order. You may be violating copyright law by sharing these bootleg files.
Also, many of the links on your free materials page are to unauthorized editions of titles hels in copyright by their authors, religious orders and publishers.
Sharing bootleg copies essentially robs Religious Orders of and essential means of support.
Please contact me at mara@tanbooks.com to discuss this matter.
The Diary is on archive.org listed as being in the public domain: https://archive.org/details/St.FaustinaKowalskaDiary. (Public Domain Mark 1.0: “This work has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.”)
As you can see we do not ever upload any title but merely post links to titles already available on mainstream sites such as archive.org and similar. Therefore, if archive.org removes the link (which they would undoubtedly do if indeed any copyright had been breached), it will of course also disappear from this site.
We are sacrificing our own free time to gather links to already publicly available Catholic material for the help of the faithful, many of whom live in countries where these books are not available for purchase. We do not have ANY financial benefit from this work whatsoever – on the contrary, it costs us a considerable amount of time as well as money. It is done with only one objective – to help save souls.
It is frankly disappointing that a self-proclaimed traditional Catholic book seller would want to prevent people from having access to good Catholic reading material – especially in these times when the vast majority of “Catholic” books are more likely to lead souls to confusion, heresy and hell. (Furthermore, most people who are able to still prefer to purchase a physical book rather than read a pdf, so this is certainly no threat to your business.)
Once again, the links posted here are from well known websites such as archive.org, google books, etc, which list works in the public domain or with a licence. We have no way to verify this for each single book – therefore, if you claim the Diary of St. Faustina (and/or any other work) is published/uploaded by archive.org in breach of copyright, kindly contact archive.org. We will of course remove any title that archive.org (or any other publisher we link to) takes down or acknowledges as having breached copyright.
For the sake of transparency all messages you shall send (and all replies) will be published here in these comments.
God bless.

Pls i have been searching the web for a PDF file or book on the life of st Philip benizi pls can anyone send me a link or a site where I can download it .google books does not have it
Thank you very much indeed for this great gift. Is there an index or search button? I am looking for “Let yourself be loved” by St Elizabeth of the Trinity.
God bless,
Father Kevin
Father, I can’t find it in electronic version, but the paper book can be purchased quite cheaply on various sites (for instance here: http://www.carmelite.org.uk/acatalog/EF.html, here: http://www.icspublications.org/index.php/let-yourself-be-loved.html, or here: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=mccaffrey&sts=t&tn=let+yourself+be+loved). What is available in pdf form is the book “The Spiritual Doctrine of Sister Elizabeth of the Trinity”, by Fr. Philipon: http://www.strobertbellarmine.net/books/Elizabeth%20–%20Spiritual%20Doctrine.pdf, as well as “The Praise of Glory: Reminiscences of Sister Elizabeth of the Trinity”: https://archive.org/details/thepraiseofglory00elizuoft. God bless.
Thank you very much indeed for all these links. Very kind of you to go to all that trouble. I shall take a look. The only version I had found was from Amazon; but it was so expensive I thought it might have been a mistake on their part!
Please keep up the good work – it must be a treasure for so many of us. I, for one, would have had no idea that such things exist!
God bless you.
Thank you for your kind words, Father. God bless.
Hola. Necesito el libro de Villá sobre la Masonería y la Iglesia Católica en pdf
No lo encuentro en pdf en español, pero aquí está en el original italiano: http://www.centrosangiorgio.com/download/pdf/la_massoneria_la_chiesa.pdf.
(Hay varios otros libros sobre el mismo tema en español, por ejemplo el de Pierre Virión: http://www.catolicosalerta.com.ar/libros/masoneria-dentro-iglesia.html.)
muchas gracias por estar al servicio del projimo!! Dios lo bendiga y la virgen lo acompañe simpre !! cuente con mi oracion .muchas gracias otra vez.
Your website is very nice. You have many excellent books.
I wonder whether you could include Father Robert Persons’ 16th century classic, ‘Christian Directory’, please?
Thank you for your comment. Here is the Christian Directory (book I): https://books.google.nr/books?id=RbwHAAAAQAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false. Or here in several different formats: https://archive.org/details/christiandirecto00pars. God bless.
Thank you so much for making available to us poor souls such a wonderful feast of good and holy materials! Every book I wanted to read and every saint I wanted to meet is on your lists and then some. I actually cried when I read some titles as I never thought in my area and with a low income such books would ever be available to me. God bless you! And I have said prayers for your sanctification as your request & your site will help with mine♡Glory to the sacred hearts of JMJ
Many thanks for your prayers and for your very kind comment. God bless you.
just wonder how to get a book onto your list i have a book by fr alexis lepicier the lily of israel that has a month of meditations of st joseph it is missing one page but otherwise in tact we read it each day of march but it is ancient and tends to crumble. now that there are no longer tape recorders i dont know how to get it uploaded to use a modern phrase.
Thank you for your comment. In order to upload any book you’d first have to get it scanned. Most print shops should be able to do that for you. The resulting pdf file can then be uploaded online (assuming the book is not under copyright). God bless.
Thank you very much for your prayers and comment! God bless.
Hi there,
Thank you so much for providing free access to this inspirational catholic material. May God reward you.
Could you please advise who wrote “Suffering Sanctified”? It is full of such great wisdom. Do you know where I could access a pdf of it?
Many thanks for your work and your assistance.
God bless,
NC
Thank you for your kind comment. I’m afraid I don’t know who wrote it. Unless the author is anonymous, you may be able to get that information from jmjsite.com where the work has been published. They might also have a pdf version. God bless.
Please send a book on Jesus Robert heath 2335 crooks st Ashland KY 41101
Good evening ,
I am looking for Spanish version of Un appel a L’aMOUR. I believe it is the Spanish version of the English version of The Way of Divine Love by Sister Josefa Menendez. THis is the first I have seen of your website. Thank you for being there for us. Any information or help would be appreciated.
Here it is (Un Llamamiento al Amor): https://moimunanblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/un-llamamien-al-amor.pdf; also here in pdf and kindle format: https://www.ebookscatolicos.com/llamamiento-al-amor-sor-josefa-menendez/.
And here are two other texts from Sr. Josefa Menendez: http://www.mediafire.com/file/147575bz9dc8f48/Mensajes+del+Sagrado+coraz%C3%B3n+-+Josefa+Menendez.pdf; https://www.scribd.com/doc/27653112/PASION-DE-NUESTRO-SENOR-JESUCRISTO. God bless.
Would you have the following?
https://hughosb.com/2017/06/02/more-in-a-monastery-cupboard/
Thank you
“The Devout Mass Server” of Fr. Green is not available in electronic format. However, there are several traditional books and resources for Mass servers in the section “Traditional Liturgy” (http://www.traditionalcatholic.co/free-catholic-books-ii/). There you will also find the other books referred to in your link (Rituale Romanum, Liber Usualis, etc). God bless.
What Missal should I use…62 was warmup to novos ordo. I think 47? is 47 the one to use?
Do you have such? where could I get.
Rant-
I am so beaten down. I want to be a good father, but the Novos Ordo, it is a shame and I have abandoned it.
I read St Pius X catechism to them…but my family thinks I am crazy. I tell them they are not in union with the saints and Popes(since J 23)
Thank you for your comment. Your choice of a Missal would generally depend on what your priests use (most traditional priests, incl. the SSPX, use the 1962 rubrics). That said, you wouldn’t find it much of an issue to use an older Missal as the changes were still relatively minor; and if you wish to use the Missal for your daily reading at home, I’d certainly recommend you to pick a pre-1955 one. (The 1962 Missal includes the changes of John XXIII and Pius XII, which is where the early seeds of the destruction of the Catholic Mass had been planted. In the mid 1950s, under Pius XII, the Holy Week liturgy was modified – any pre-1955 Missal will have the original, ancient Holy Week rites.)
You can download various Missals from our site (http://www.traditionalcatholic.co/free-catholic-books-ii/, section “Traditional Liturgy”). For instance, the well known Fr. Lasance Missal: http://www.ccwatershed.org/blog/2013/mar/19/1937-fr-lasance-missal/.
You can also buy the physical version of various pre-1955 Missals online. For instance the famous St. Andrew Missal from 1945 (http://www.libers.com/sam.htm; http://www.daughtersofmarypress.com/store/item_view.php?id=1000060&item=st~1~1-andrew-daily-missal) or the 1945 Fr. Lasance Missal (http://www.daughtersofmarypress.com/store/item_view.php?id=1001607&item=the-new-roman-missal-~~~1-father-lasance). Used copies can often be found very cheaply at ebay or abebooks.com.
As for the second part of your comment: Don’t despair. If you can get to a traditional Mass, do so as often as possible (even if it requires sacrifices). You are already doing the right thing with your children – it’s important to pass the true Faith on to them, and teach them proper Catholic doctrine. You can also read them the lives of the Saints and other (age appropriate) Catholic books. As for the family members who disapprove or mock you, all you can ultimately do is pray for them. In our times many good Catholics who are clinging to the Faith are having to bear all sorts of persecutions, ridicule, insults, etc, often from their own families. The most important thing is to persevere until the very end. Our Lord will greatly reward all the sacrifices you’ve made for His sake while trying to preserve your Faith (and pass it on to your children, so that they too may save their souls). And by offering Him everything you are made to go through, you could help convert your family as well (even though that might require years of resigned suffering on your part). Trust in the good God, and do all that you can (He doesn’t ask anything impossible). God bless you.
The Mystical City of God Audio Files website does not clearly explain how to download. Instructions say to click ‘on the download symbol at the left.’ Which symbol is to be clicked upon. Have tried the m all – several languages and scripts. Here is website:
https://gloria.tv/audio/baS9cFgBJLZc1xyerQLCHcGT2
You can listen to them online. Not sure if/how they can be downloaded. Perhaps you can contact their website and ask them directly. God bless.
Thank you. Couldn’t at the time was working on this see a way to contact the website but after Ann Boulais’ work stops – she is working on The Mystical City of God audio version, will be ok reading. If commenter below me asking about listening at work would ever want mp3 have found rosary and other prayers on Boston-catholic-journal.com which is not a strictly traditional site but which has 3 decade versions of the rosary and other prayers in Latin and in English.

Buen dia!
Desde hace tiempo he buscado el libro de san Alfonso María de Ligorio llamado “La monja Santa” o “La verdadera Esposa de Jesucristo” y no lo encuentro… ¿podría hacerme el gran favor de ayudarme a encontrarlo?

The tittle: ‘The Great Flaming Furnace of the Sacred Heart’ please give me the method to send it to you folks: i have it in word and PDF. I wished you to look at it and see if you wish to add it to this fantastic website
Dear Traditional Catholic books Awhile back I sent you a type out version which I did on the Book ‘The Great Flaming Furnace of the Sacred Heart’, unfortunately I had sprinkled the type out version with typos. I am in the process of uploading to my desk top the book via scanning the pages of the book. If you would like me to send you the scanned PDF pages please let me know.
Sincerely, Fred Mallaire
Thank-you, and Our Lady protect your good work of keeping these fantastic books alive

Pax Christi!
Ante todo deseo agradecerle y felicitarlo por este sitio web, es magnífico!
Mi nombre es María del Verbo Encarnado, soy una religiosa contemplativa del Monasterio de la Preciosísima Sangre (en Brooklyn, NY)
Buscando material, porque estamos completando y re-estruturando nuestra biblioteca, providencialmente encontré este sitio. Nos ha sido de enorme utilidad!
Tengo una pregunta,he visto libros muy buenos on-line pero como monjas contemplativas, el tiempo para usar internet es muy limitado, además justo uno de los libros que me interesa no está disponible, podríamos tener acceso a los libros on-line de otra forma?
Me interesan particularmente dos: “La acción del Espíritu Santo en las almas” de A. Riaud y “El Espíritu Santo” de Mons. Martínez.
Desde ya le agradezco cualquier ayuda que pueda darnos, y sinceramente cuente con nuestras oraciones.
Dios le bendiga abundantemente
Hna. María del Verbo Encarnado
Muchas gracias por sus oraciones y comentario, Hermana. El libro “La Acción del Espíritu Santo en las Almas” de A. Riaud no lo hay en formato electrónico gratuito, pero se puede comprar (el pdf o el libro físico) barato aquí: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=nbAWGMszx9YC&rdid=book-nbAWGMszx9YC&rdot=1&source=gbs_atb&pcampaignid=books_booksearch_atb (o también en amazon.com). El libro de Mons. Martínez está online: https://www.scribd.com/document/292334071/El-Espiritu-Santo-Luis-M-Martinez. Acabo de enviarle también un email con una otra versión. Dios las bendiga. En unión de oraciones.
Thank you for this wonderful website and making so many good Catholic books available to us.
Greatly appreciated,
I have said a prayer for your sanctification.

is there a way to find your books in alphabetical order….rather than combing through all the wonderful entries. Thank you so much!
You can search for a book (by title or author); the search box is on top of the right column. God bless.

I really want to say a big thank you for this wonderful site. reading from this site has been a very wonderful and enriching experience for me. However, I noticed that – Fundamentals of catholic Dogma by Ludwig Ott – has been pulled down. is there any reason for that? I really miss it
Thank you for your comment, Father. I’m afraid the book has been taken down by the websites that had uploaded it; it is not available online at present. God bless.
I’ve now found a new link: https://ia601506.us.archive.org/5/items/OttFundamentalsOfCatholicDogma/Ott%20-%20Fundamentals%20of%20catholic%20dogma.pdf. God bless.

I am looking for some information on my 4th great uncle, Father Samuel Mazzuchelli whom i believe was baptised there around 1806. I am looking for the names of his parents and sibling. If there are any records I would surely appreciate it. Thanks so much Donna Luter
I’m afraid we have no way to help with such a thing. God bless.
I just saw your post today. I’m a huge fan of Venerable Fr. Samuel Mazzuchelli! His cause for canonization is open in my Diocese of Madison Wisconsin USA. He was born Nov. 4, 1806 in Milan, Italy and was baptized the same day. His parents were Luigi and Rachelle Merlini Mazzuchelli. His siblings were Angela Antonia Carlina, Carlo Giovanni, Giuseppe Filippo Fernidando, Maria Teresa, Gaetano, Gaetana Giuseppa, Maria Carlina, Rosa, Giuseppa Domenica, Giulio Angelo, Angelo Francesco, Giuseppa, Maria Domenica, Carlo, and Maria Antonia Rachelle. You can find a lot of information about him online and several books have been written about him. I’ve given many tours of his sites and have been interviewed about him on Relevant Radio on the Drew Mariani Show, the most popular Catholic radio program in the USA. I’ve compiled lots of information about him which I can email you if desired. Your 4X great-uncle Fr. Samuel was amazing! You should be very proud of him! Fr. Mazzuchelli, please pray for us!
How do I get the books by mail?
I would like to get the free books – including the Latin prayers.
All these books are in electronic format and can be downloaded by clicking on the respective link. If you mean physical (printed) books, you’d need to purchase them from book stores. God bless.

Muchisismas gracias por la recopilacion de libros, es de mucha utilidad.
Me gustaria leer algo bueno sobre el apocalipsis, alguna recomendacion?
Que Dios lo Bendiga!
y muchisimas gracias otra vez
Gracias por su comentario. Aquí está el libro del Padre Castellani sobre el Apocalipsis: https://archive.org/stream/CastellaniLeonardoLibros/Castellani-Apokalypsis#page/n3/mode/2up. Los otros que se me ocurren están en Inglés…trataré de buscar algo en Español. Dios la bendiga.
The Holy Man of Tours is here – the Life of Leon Papin Dupont; my heart is glad – am much appreciating The Golden Arrow, Sr. Mary of St. Peter’s autobiography and associated material in hard copy, and the biography of Sr. Mary of St. Peter, which is available online in the exact same way as this book just found, as copy of library copy in pdf form. Leon Dupont and sister knew each other. Both lived relatively close to our times. Merci beaucoup.
Hello from Malaysia! Do you have Abbe Daniel Le Roux’s booklet entitled “Peter, Lovest Thou Me” in ebook format?
Thank you for your comment. I’m afraid the book is not available in electronic format. God bless.
Hola! Estoy buscando el libro “ Maria y la Santa Misa” de Vandeur. Gracias
Lo siento pero no parece haber ningún libro con este título. Asumiendo que se refiere a Eugene Vandeur, tiene unos libros sobre la Misa (en Frances y Ingles) pero ninguno sobre María y la Misa. Tal vez pueda verificar el título? Dios la bendiga.
Muy Srs. nuestros:
Ya en fechas 11.09.16, 26.09.16 y 07.10.17 cuando iniciábamos nuestros trabajos nos dirigimos a Uds. en solicitud para que nos autorizaran la difusión de los títulos que figuran en “Libros Católicos Gratis en Español”, no habiendo recibido respuesta alguna en ninguno de los casos.
Ahora que estamos culminando los trabajos que permitirán el lanzamiento definitivo de la web/app Catolia.com a cuyo contenido podrán ya acceder, para su ponderación. Nuevamente nos dirigimos a Uds. con análoga pretensión, pensando por la falta de contestación en cualquier sentido, que quizás nuestra intención no llego a sus manos.
Como en todos los casos de cesión de derechos de difusión, en cada ejemplar se indica autor y entidad que nos los cede. De desearlo también incluiríamos su razón en el apartado de colaboradores.
Les recordamos que nuestro sistema de lectura no permite al usuario la descarga de los contenidos. El uso de Catolia es gratuito.
En la confianza de poder contar con su colaboración y de ser posible facilidad de acceso a los oportunos ficheros digitales en formatos docx, pdf o htlm, aunque en su defecto procederíamos a extraerlos de la red, junto con nuestra gratitud reciban nuestros mejores saludos.
César de la Prida

César, los que usted dice no corresponde a la verdad en absoluto. Le respondí (por email) tanto el día 27 de septiembre cómo el 8 de octubre 2017. De hecho usted respondió el mismo día 8 agradeciendo mi email y respuesta. Su acusación es falsa y muy poco profesional.

Manna from heaven for us poor starving Catholics!
Bless you a thousandfold. You have followed Saint Mother Theresa’s advice and “Made something beautiful for God” —-and those of us who love Him so are the beneficiaries.
Many thanks for your comment and prayers. God bless.
I am delighted to find your web site. It is like a treasure chest.
Perhaps I am lazy, but I think it would be useful to have the books alphabetized by author since most of us read through authors.
I tried searching for Romano Guardini, but nothing came up (at least not anything that was easily accessed.
Thank you for your comment. There aren’t actually any of his books on the list, that’s why nothing came up in search. I’ve found the following works online: Sacred Signs – http://sanctamissa.info/en/resources/books/sacred-signs.pdf; The Spirit of the Liturgy – http://www.sanctamissa.org/en/spirituality/the-spirit-of-the-liturgy.pdf; The Death of Socrates – https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.77775; The Church and the Catholic – http://www.ewtn.com/library/CHRIST/CHUCAT.TXT; The Humanity of Christ – http://www.ewtn.com/library/CHRIST/HUMAN.TXT; Meditations Before Mass – http://www.cin.org/mbm.html; Power and Responsibility – https://archive.org/details/powerandresponsi027468mbp. Most of his other books can be “borrowed” (in electronic format) from archive.org (they only seem to require a free account; I’m not familiar with their borrowing feature so you’d need to check.) Please be careful when reading any of his books – Guardini was a known modernist. God bless.
Hi Sir
St. Alfonsus de Liguori is my favorite author and I was overwhelmed with the all the books he wrote especially Glories of Mary.
I also love Sinners Guide by Ven. Louis de Granada.
I cant thank you enough so showing all these treasures here on your site.
Pls email me your name so our group can pray for you and God bless you.
Many thanks for your comment and your prayers. All prayers are very much appreciated. God bless you.
Hello!
Do you guys have a digital copy of the book: “The Imitation of Mary” by Thomas a Kempis?
Would make me very happy!
I’m afraid it’s not available in electronic format (at least not in English – only in Spanish and French). There is another book by the same name that seems to be written by a French priest: https://archive.org/details/ImitationOfTheBlessedVirgin. God bless.
Thank you for your beautifully inspiring website.
As an author of Traditional Catholic books for both adults and children, I am wondering if you consider manuscripts for publication? I would feel truly blessed if you were to consider some of my as-yet unpublished books for publication.
Rafka Press have published some of my books (https://rafkapress.com/books-by-e-mary-christie.html) with more in their publishing queue, and Angelus Press published my “Prophetic Messages for Our Times” (https://angeluspress.org/products/prophetic-messages-for-our-times) with a number of manuscripts currently under review, but as the number of my manuscripts keeps growing, I am anxious to find yet a further Traditional Catholic publisher.
God bless you and thank you for your time and patience. I look forward to hearing from you at your kind convenience.
In Jesu et Maria,
Ellie Christie (Mrs)
Author’s name: E. Mary Christie
Thank you for your comment and prayers. I’m afraid we don’t publish any books. This website simply lists the links to books already published online and available for free download. God bless you.

Gracias por su comentario y oraciones. Lo siento pero no he encontrado “Rutas de Espiritualidad” en formato electrónico. (Se puede comprar el libto usado en abebooks.com o iberlibro.com.) Lo únicos libros de este autor que encontré son: El Arte de Dirigir – https://www.scribd.com/document/231854217/Courtois-G-El-Arte-de-Dirigir; El Secreto del Mando: La Educación Cristiana del Niño – https://www.scribd.com/doc/57107401/El-Secreto-Del-Mando.

Hi,
thanks for the work you put in to making this comprehensive list.
I was curious, where did you get these files? Did you scan the books yourself?
Thank you,
Pax Christi
Thank you for your comment. We’ve simply listed the links to books available (in electronic format) on various websites. Therefore you’d have to direct that question to the specific site that published whichever book you’re interested it. God bless.
Hello. Thank you for this amazing site! It’s probably under my nose, but I’m not seeing the search function. Is there a way to do a search on the list?
God bless, Marisa
Thank you for your comment. The search box is on top of the right-hand column (above the picture of St. Philomena). God bless.
I love your website, thank you for this great blessing!
As an established Traditional Catholic author, I am wondering if you publish books? I have a new manuscript on the Twelve Apostles – a tour of the Holy Gospels giving identity to each of these courageous saints, following their individual presence in the life of Christ ― to include a brief historical account of what happened to each of them thereafter. Would this be of interest to you, and indeed to any of your viewers? In Jesu et Maria.
Thank you for your comment. I’m afraid we don’t publish any books; this site simply gathers the links to books already freely available online. God bless.
My name is Mike, and I heard about St Philomena, and I am realy moved by her. I have a feeling that I must promote her, for the stregthening of Faith, for which she was martyred for. I was wondering if you have any books for sale or devotional material , such as the book The Life and Miracles of St Philomena, Virgin and Martyr. Thank You, Mike
Thank you for your comment. Here are some books about St. Philomena in free electronic format: The Life and Miracles of St. Philomena – https://archive.org/details/lifemiraclesofsa00newy/page/n5; Saint Philomena the Wonder-Worker – http://www.spiritenterprises.com/Saint%20Philomena%20the%20Wonder-Worker.pdf; It’s Time to Meet St. Philomena (audio based on the book) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YxrBoFLzYA. If you wish to purchase physical books they are available from Amazon and many other stores (or from second-hand book stores like AbeBooks.com. God bless.
Antes que nada gracias por este sitio que alimenta el alma, los libros de San Pío V, como la de su vida del autor Dyson o el de “Padre de la cristiandad” están en inglés, habrá alguno de éstos en español?.

I am in search of two books…
Family Lives of the Saints Volume 1 and 3 by Mario L. Dittami O. Carm.
I have Vol. 2.
Any help finding where I could purchase them would be greatly appreciated!
I’m afraid I wasn’t able to find them; only volume 2 is available. The stores that did have them listed say vol. 1 and 3 are unavailable. There was an Ebay listing but it’s already been sold. Your best bet might be checking Ebay or AbeBooks.com from time to time. God bless.
Hi – I’m a software developer (retired) and wanting to do a Catholic based mobile app. I found this website and thought it would be a great source of data for an app. Do you provide any API access to the data?

Hola, me llamo Ariel y estoy buscando un libro de Monseñor Fulton Sheen, titulado “El sacerdote no se pertenece”.
Tengo la versión original en inglés, pero quería conseguirlo para un sacerdote amigo.
Espero que me puedan ayudar.
Muchas gracias.
Gracias por su comentario. Lo siento pero no lo encuentro (en Español) no sólo en el formato electrónico sino tanpoco el libro físico. Dios lo bendiga.
How does one search for particular book. I do not see search. Thank you. God bless
The search box is on top of the right-hand column. If you can’t find the book you’re looking for, you can write the title and author’s name here in the comments. God bless.

Hello,
It seems you’re using on your website pictures that are not allowed, because they are mine.
To be sure, I would like to talk friendly about that with you first by phone.
Please can you call me back quickly ? My number +33899256968
Thanks !

The only images we’ve ever used were those widely available online with no mention of authorship or copyright, therefore your message is rather surprising. If you own the copyright to any of the images kindly send us the relevant information and the image will be promptly removed.
Good afternoon,
I was hoping that you could update this list with a section of books that are fiction and yet based on Orthodox Catholic theology and themes.
Books such as Lord of the Rings, Quo Vadis, The Greatest Story Ever Told, Flannery O Connor’s Wise Blood and The Violent Bear it Away, and various others. Any suggestions would be greatly helpful.
What is the name and location of the beautiful church shown above? Thank you
Can you add the book, The house of the virgin mary by Godfrey Phillip
That exact title is a recently published version and as such under copyright, thus not available online for free. However, here is the original (1917) version of the book, called “Loreto and the Holy House”: https://archive.org/details/loretoandtheholy00philuoft/page/n5. God bless.
Hi! I am trying to find a book called Sacred Heart Prayer Book…it has been around for some time (before 1992) and was in a blue cover….it talks about iut not only the devotion to the sacred heart but also has God’s revelations to multiple saints about His love. All i can find right now is a recent book with the same name and missing the quotes etc. i saw it once on ewtn with Mother Angelica. Any info is appreciated! Thank you!
I’m afraid I don’t know which version that may be. Searching for “Sacred Heart prayer book” in Google, there are at least 5 different prayer books with such title, sold by various websites. Perhaps one of those is a new edition of the book you’re looking for? I’ve not been able to find a free electronic version. God bless.
con quien puedo ver para subir un libro que tengo, y no esta en el listado, es el de Kempis
Gracias por su comentario. La “Imitación de Cristo” de Kempis está al comienzo de la lista. O está hablando de un otro libro? Dios lo bendiga.
es otro libro, es el enfermo de kempis
Amazed to see these collection of holy books available for reading…This is sure charity!
I pray 3 Hail Marys for you now dear brother/sister in Christ Jesus…. Stay Blessed.

Hi, my name’s Felipe and I would like to know if you have the Diary of Saint Veronica Giuliani. If yes, please, send to me, it’s very important.
Greetings,
Felipe
I don’t believe it exists in English. There seem to be only an Italian and a Spanish version, both of which are only available as print books. You could try to check with her convent: https://www.santaveronicagiuliani.it/publications/?lang=en. God bless.
May our Blessed Mother Mary reward you all who are contributing immensely for the arrangement of this work of priceless spiritual good to users.
please i have a book titled “The Science of the Saints”, but i only have the first volume that covers January to April, please can you send me a pdf link of the other volumes.
Thanks and God Bless
Thank you for your comment and prayers. Here is the volume I – https://archive.org/details/scienceofsaints01meyeuoft and here volume II – https://archive.org/details/scienceofsaints00meyeuoft. However, it doesn’t seem to be divided by months, so I’m not sure whether it’s the same work you’re referring to. If not, let me know who the author is. God bless.
Dear Friends,
The link for Life Everlasting (Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange) doesn’t bring up the book- could you please let me know if there is another link.
Thankyou!

I have a question. I have a text (in PDF) version of an 11 hour lecture given by Mr. Guido DelRose, former custodian of the U.S. National Pilgrim Virgin Statue, entitled: “Fatima & The Last Times Apostasy” He studied Fatima extensively and was considered internationally known regarding his knowledge on Fatima. Could the text version of this talk be made available on this site?
Thank you for your comment. IF the lecture is truly Catholic (i.e. conforming to traditional Catholic teaching, not modernist one) and you have permission to publish it online, sure. You can simply upload it on any file sharing website and send us the link. God bless.
Good day,
If it is possible would you recommend a comprehensive book on Traditional Catholic Mystical Theology from the long list of books you have available through your very helpful website? Thank you, and I will pray for you in my daily Mass intentions and prayers. Please pray for the diocese of Syracuse NY, and for me.
In Jesus and Mary,
C.S.

Can you find me a catechism commentary of the CCC or catechism of that sort so that I can teach my 6 yrs old brother the faith?
Also, I don’t know how to use the search function could you help me with that
Thank you for your comment. It’s great that you wish to teach your little brother the faith! On this page http://www.traditionalcatholic.co/free-catholic-books-ii/, in the section “Catholic Bible, Catechism, Doctrine” you will see several catechism for children (incl. the Baltimore catechism for First Communion, a couple of illustrated catechisms, and several others specifically for children). Have a look at them to see which one suits you and your brother best. The search box is located in the right hand column, above the picture of St. Philomena. An alternative way to search, on any particular page, is to press CTRL + F, which will bring up a search box where you can write in the word(s) – i.e. title or author. All matches will be brought up and highlighted. God bless.
I am looking for a Traditional Catholic Tridentine rite mass that I can follow daily online. Please point me in the right direction. Thank you and God Bless.
You can read the daily Mass texts online here: https://divinumofficium.com/cgi-bin/missa/missa.pl.

Can anyone suggest a book for meditation i.e a book which has meditation especially on virtues and routing out habitual sin. Thanks
Thank you for your comment. Almost any spiritual book can be used for meditation, so it comes down to your personal preferences. The Imitation of Christ is (and has been for centuries) hugely popular as a meditation aid. Writings of saints (such as the meditations and reflexions of St. Alphonsus, for instance) can also be of help. God bless.
Can you help me find the code of canon law 1917 in english?

God Bless you…May Our Lord richly bless you!
Thank you for your kind comment and prayers. God bless.
Hello,
Thanks for making all the books available to nurture our souls. May your good and hard work be rewarded on earth and in heaven. I am looking to read “the third spiritual alphabet” in English or French, would you know where a free pdf or audio may be available. Thank you!
Many thanks for your comment and apologies for the delay. I’m afraid the only place I was able to find the English translation is on archive.org, but it’s only available to “borrow” online…not exactly sure how that works: https://archive.org/details/thirdspiritualal0000osun. God bless.
Dear editor,
I have studied the divine prophecies and revelations for years and have understood them and am compiling them into a non-redundant, chronological story of God’s plan for the Apocalypse, the Last Centuries of Man upon the Earth. I am hoping to complete it and get it out before the end of the year. I have a summary of it that contains a warning that needs to go out now: the Great Chastisement of God, which has been repeatedly postponed, will begin next year, it will be the greatest punishment from God since the Great Flood of Noah, and few people will survive it. Next year President Trump will die in office, a second civil war will begin in America, and then the Third World War will begin oversees.
God wanted it known before the Great Events begin because when they begin the chaos and destruction may make it impossible to get the word out. People need to prepare now, for those who are prepared have a better chance of surviving. Will you post a summary overview that I have written of what is coming? I would upload it in PDF form for anyone to download for free from your site.
Yous in Christ, Louie D. Hussey
Hello! Do you happen to know of any good sources for Polish books? I’m looking to find some books for my parents.

Would you happen to know how to get a copy of St. Leonard’s Way of the Cross by St. Leonard of Port Maurice? It is very difficult to locate a copy. Your help would be appreciated.
Thank you for your comment. It’s strange because I’m quite certain there used to be an English translation online, but I’m unable to find it right now. In the meantime, if it’s of any help, here it is in Italian: https://cooperatoresveritatis.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/via-crucis-di-san-leonardo-da-porto-maurizio.pdf; and here in Spanish (towards the end of the book): https://bibliotecadigital.jcyl.es/es/consulta/registro.cmd?id=22676. If I can find the English translation I’ll post it here. God bless.

I was looking into statistical information regarding the number of priest that left the church after Vatican Council II and the following site came up : http://www.traditionalcatholicpriest.com/2014/01/27/more-statistics-that-traditional-catholics-are-concerned-about/” but when i clicked on the link it stated the following: Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress. Is the site listed above related to your site? if so how may i tap into the statistical info?
thank you
No, the site is not related. Perhaps you can contact them directly? God bless.
I have an old book out of Print “the Great Flaming Furnace of the Sacred Heart”
I have it in PDF and can upload it for someone to look at the book.
The book was found years ago amongst my mom’s belongings when she passed away.
A friend of mine, a business man, went back to the place the book originated and found that the publishing place no longer existed.
My Friend talked to an elderly Priest near the location and then saying the Tridentine/ Latin/ Extraordinary form Mass who coincidently new the young lady who lived in the 1950s that our Lord spoke to and asked of her to make her whole life in joys and sorrows acts of reparation for the Priests who strayed from our Master’s embrace, and this elderly Priest verified the holiness and stability of the young lady. The book develops a close relationship that our Master wants for all of us and leaves one with the absolute knowledge that our Jesus will never leave us alone unless we deliberately drive our Lord away.
This Priest who communicated the veracity of the book has more then a few years ago gone on to our Lord.
Thank you for your comment. If you upload the book (assuming no copyright) we can put the link up on the book page. (There already seems to be a 19-page booklet with the same title; not sure whether it is the same one: https://fliphtml5.com/ljed/jbky/basic.) God bless.
Buen día,
Antes que nada quisiera agradecer por este apostolado que nos facilita el acceso a la buena literatura. Quisiera también preguntar si puede recomendarme algún libro en específico sobre la educación de hijos varones (puede ser en inglés, si no existiera la versión en español).
De antemano muchas gracias.
Are you or your readers able to locate a book written by Abbot Paul Combe pub 1906 titled The Secret of Melanie and the Actual Crisis.
I’ve tried the Way back machine archive.org but it is not there.
I hope you might have contacts who can source it?
Many thanks
From One Poor Sinner to Another!
Thank you for your comment. I haven’t been able to find the book itself, only articles that seem to refer to it and seem to reproduce parts of it. Perhaps someone else can help… God bless you.
Would you please be able to upload a PDF version of the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska: Divine Mercy in My Soul if possible? Thank you and God bless.

To whom it may concern,
My name is Fr. Stephen Arabadjis. I am a member of the Society of St. Pius X. But I am in my 7th year of Sabbatical.Therefore I was hoping your group could do a 54 day rosary novena for my intentions. But any prayers and sacrifices would be greatly appreciated. I know Our Lady will reward you generously for this.
In Our Lady,
Fr. Arabadjis
P.S. Thanking you in advance, since I don’t always get all my communications.
God Bless You All for creating this free absolute treasure trove of books to share! Thank You & I look forward to sharing it with my friends as well.
For anyone who wants more than the “modern” Catholic Mass, look up the FSSP or SSPX to find a (Pre-Vatican 2) TRADITIONAL Latin Mass from priests who only use the old Mass prayers (along with the ancient rites & minor exorcisms within)… It provides more protection, and it seems that along with myself millions of other Catholics are finding this to be what we we reverently refer to as a COMPLETE MASS, without all the sad deletions from Vatican II.
My entire spiritual growth has skyrocketed since March 2020, and I thank Jesus for leading me to both FSSP & SSPX churches (Both offer Traditional Mass & values).
May Christ strengthen & protect us all, as we have entered the beginning of the End Times. Remember to FOCUS on JESUS & NOT the STORM around Us.
Thank you for this site. I hope you can help. I could not find the title “Paul. The Apostle” by Giuseppe Ricciotti and other books of the same author.
His books are available on archive.org. Some can be downloaded in pdf and others only read online (or ‘borrowed’ in electronic version, with a free account): https://archive.org/details/paulapostle0000ricc. God bless.
Just reporting a broken link to website manager:
“The Church’s Year: Explanation of the Epistles and Gospels (Fr. Leonhard Goffine)”

Thank you for mantaining this website. It has been a real blessing to so many.
Thank you for letting us know! God bless you.
Hello. I am trying to download Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma by Ludwig Ott and I cannot obtain the file to download or to read. Would it be possible for you to guide me as to how to download the file or access it to read?
If you click on the “pdf” you should be able to download it to your computer. It’s a very large file so may take some time. God bless.
I am looking for the prayer in latin for absolution after a person has confessed and offered the prayer of contrition. Have been able to find and would appreciate any help you could provide.
You can find it in this short article, in both Latin and English: http://www.traditionalcatholicpriest.com/2014/05/28/the-traditional-catholic-and-novus-ordo-confession-rites. And, of course, in the Rituale Romanum (several editions can be found online in pdf). Here for instance at page 100: https://archive.org/details/ritualeromanum00cath_0/page/100/mode/2up. God bless.
Hello, Do you have anything in English on the life or writings of Blessed Stephana Quinzani? Thanks!

New Book Announcement
LATIN PRAYER. ASPECTS OF LANGUAGE AND CATHOLIC SPIRITUALITY
By
Professor David Ian Birch B.A (Hons) D.Phil.
Praying in Latin has been part of Catholic life for almost 2,000 years. Each Latin prayer, whether prayed in public worship, or in private contemplation, is saturated with the very rich history of the Catholic Church. The place of Latin prayer thus forms an intrinsic part of the deep and extensive patrimony that is Catholic Tradition. Latin Prayer. Aspects of Language and Catholic Spirituality offers a grammar of prayer, with a linguist’s eye for language, and with a Catholic heart for the numinous, which, linguistically and spiritually, is steeped in this patrimony and Tradition.
Over 13 detailed chapters, exploring a wide range of grammatical, linguistic and stylistic features of Latin prayer, and including a very comprehensive bibliography of Liturgical Latin, this book seeks to offer a linguistic means to exploring, and articulating, some of the spiritual depths that lie at the heart of the Latin prayer of the Church.
This is not a ‘how to learn Latin’ book, nor is it a compendium of Latin prayers, but a sustained meditation on prayer, using both a linguistics and theological/scriptural vocabulary, and written by a now retired academic, who has spent a lifetime, as first medieval and then modern linguist, praying both public and increasingly now, private Latin prayer.
It is hoped that those who know no Latin will be inspired by this book to learn it, and those who know it, and perhaps some, or all, of the prayers included here, to revisit it, perhaps with renewed eyes and heart. Above all, it is hoped that everyone, regardless of linguistic skills, will, through these pages, acknowledge, and indeed marvel at, the depth of Catholic patrimony and Tradition in Latin prayer, and its power and potency as a still completely relevant way of prayer.
This is not a call to traditionalist arms; nor a condemnation or critique of contemporary post-Vatican II vernacular Catholicism, but an embrace of the prayer of the Church across its entire history, regardless of how parts of that history may now be viewed.
Available in paperback and as an e-book at https://www.amazon.com; online bookstores or please support your local bookshop by ordering it with its ISBN- 978-0-6454193-0-6

TC, thank you for offering these wonderful books for everyone to enjoy. We have thousands of old Traditional Catholic books in our barn and elsewhere. We were selling them for a time, years ago, but haven’t for several years. I absolutely love what you are doing here to share the electronic versions with the world, and would like to do the same with ours. I have digitized about 100 of them so far and would like to know if you would like to put them on your site. I can upload them to you. I’ll choose books you don’t have, or I can give you a list, and you may know of some you have that are not in very good condition.
God Bless you for all that you are doing and let me know if you are interested in these books that we have.
Please respond to my email, and not just here, because I might miss this message.
Thank you for your generous offer. I’ll email you shortly. God bless you!
Couldn’t you kindly tell me if there are any traditional adult education/faith sharing/Bible study live on Zoom in which participants can raise questions and foster fellowship, in English?
My Novus Ordo “friends” don’t approve my attending SSPX Mass, and I feel alone in a non English-speaking country.
Here SSPX rents a community center and have three Masses consecutively, and there is no time and physical space for the faithful to talk to the presiding priest or socialise with other faithful.
If you could help, it would be much appreciated.
I’m afraid I don’t know of any such space/group online. Perhaps your visiting priest could help with some suggestion? Or you could try to ask in the comments of some of the traditional Catholic Youtube channels that have larger audience. God bless you.
do you have available the Sunday Mass Booklets, either a standard one which applies to all Sundays of the year, without the daily readings, or one for the Sunday 14/08/2022 and Sunday 21/08/2022 with the daily readings
Hello,
Currently I am using Novus Ordo Christian Prayer (modern version of Divine Office) and am wondering if you could direct me to the Traditional Catholic Divine Office with feast day of saints.
I thank you and God bless!
Thank you for your comment. You can find different versions of it here (with translation into several languages): https://divinumofficium.com/cgi-bin/horas/officium.pl. You can also find traditional Divinum Officium versions in pdf format online, from different centuries. However, they are in Latin only, unlike the website above. God bless you.
Buenos días.
Estoy buscando en pdf el libro “El sentido cristiano de la historia” de Dom Guéranger. Puede ser en francés también: “Jésus-Christ, Roi de l’histoire”.
Muchas gracias por todos los libros de esta página. He bajado muchísimos y toda la familia los disfruta.
Cordiales saludos.

I currently have the Douay-Rheims Bible, in English.
I am looking to purchase copies of the Douay-Rheims Bible, in Spanish.
I don’t know if they were ever published in Spanish.
If it has never been published in Spanish perhaps there is an accurate equivalent to the Douay-Rheims Bible that I can purchase.
Hello,
I am having trouble finding a book with the whole script of what the priest says to bless water before Vatican II. Will it show each time the priest makes the Sign of the Cross. I heard that the priest makes the Sign of the Cross eleven times during the blessing. I also heard that blessed water prior to Vatican II can take away venial sins each time a person blesses himself with the blessed water. Sadly I learned that today’s blessed water does not take away venial sins. I think one of the books on your website would have what I am looking for. Sincerely, Jacqueline Tucek
Hello and peace be with you!
I would like to share with you:
“Five sample intentions for the 5 decades of the Holy Rosary in reparation to the Holy Eucharist”.
A Catholic Bishop wrote to me recently and thanked me for the information on where to find the intentions and asked that I continue telling others about them. I sincerely hope you and others like the intentions. Other intentions can be added to these:
1) In reparation for desecrated Hosts…
2) In reparation for sacrilegious receptions of the Holy Eucharist…
3) In reparation for unbelief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, especially among Catholics…
4) In reparation for lukewarm receptions of the Holy Eucharist…
5) In reparation for all of my sins and those of the whole world, for a great resurgence of belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, and for a great increase of love for Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
Fr. Lawrence Lew O.P., Rector of the Rosary Shrine of London and Promoter General of the Holy Rosary recently emailed me to assure that he would be adding these intentions to the Rosary Processions at the shrine.
Go to:
http://www.perpetualeucharisticadoration.com.
Then go to “Reparations” and scroll down. This website can be read in over 100 languages.
Sincerely,
Stephen
Thank you for sharing. God bless.
Greetings in Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Thank you the library . I am trying to find a Roman Ritual in English -blessing Holy Water, etc, the old form if possible.. If you could suggest a search term… as everything I try goes nowhere.
It will be somewhere in the Rituale Romanum (there are versions with English translations as well, though most of the pre-Vatican II ones are in Latin). All the blessings are in the Rituale, just look at the index to find the appropriate page. (Here is the 1964 English version; you may want to look for an earlier version though, as by 1964 some changes had already been made: https://sensusfidelium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Roman-Rite.pdf.) Here is a comparison of the traditional and the new blessing of water: https://wdtprs.com/2018/01/ask-father-how-long-does-holy-water-stay-blessed/.
God bless.
