    In Memorize the Latin Mass! Dr. Kevin Vost harnesses the powerful memory methods of Sts. Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas to help readers learn and remember all the parts and rites of the Traditional Latin Mass as they delve deep into the meaning and history of each one of them, gleaned from the wisdom of the Church and her saints.Crafted to supplement a Missal and to stimulate further reading, this book is a primer for readers, their children, grandchildren-and perhaps great-grandchildren-to help them come to better appreciate the beauty, sanctity, and mystery of the still enduring form of the sacrifice of the Mass that has nourished countless great saints for the vast majority of the history of the Catholic Church.Here, in Memorize the Latin Mass! we focus entirely on the Traditional Latin Mass (also known as the Tridentine Mass of the council of Trent and Pope Pius V, the Gregorian Rite, the usus antiquior, vetus ordo, and the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite) with adapted text from Memorize the Mass! and a new Appendix on The Last Gospel. Those who have read Memorize the Mass! will find much of the information in that book duplicated here. This more slender volume has been prepared for those who want a primer for themselves, their children, grandchildren-and perhaps great grandchildren, to help them come to better know and love still enduring form of the sacrifice of the Mass that has nourished countless great saints for the vast majority of the history of the Catholic Church.This completely guided and illustrated tutorial in the Catholic Art of Memory will enable you to engrave each and every one of those rites upon the tablet of your heart, knowing them literally forward and backward, and loving the Latin Mass all the more for it![Excerpts from the English translation of The Roman Missal (c) 2010, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation.

    Pope St. Pius X said that "in just one year, a man can derive more profit from the works of St. Thomas Aquinas than from a lifetime studying the works of others." If you don't have a year to study the more than 3,000+ pages St. Thomas wrote, then turn to The One-Minute Aquinas, the fast-paced book that provides busy readers with simple, readable explanations of the truths that, for 750 years now, have caused the works of St. Thomas to be sought out by kings and popes, scholars and saints, as well as by ordinary souls like you hungry to know God and to love him more and more. In this book's lucid pages, author Kevin Vost gives you mall, digestible portions of St. Thomas's life-giving wisdom that you can enjoy one minute at a time. Tables and graphics will help you grasp and remember St. Thomas's key ideas with a minimum of time and effort. Best of all, in The One-Minute Aquinas you'll find quick, sure refutations of the countless relativistic, secular, and pseudoscientific ideas that are so influential in our culture today and so shallow, contradictory, and wrong! Pope John Paul II declared that "The Church has been justified in consistently proposing St. Thomas as a master of thought and a model of the right way to do theology." Now The One-Minute Aquinas enables even those with limited time and only a modest education to benefit from the wisdom of this great saint. Here, with minimal effort and among scores of other things, you'll finally come to know and understand: Why God permits evil, Why He created t he universe, His power and (yes!) its limits. Why Jesus let Himself be tempted. How you can grow quickly in virtue. The natural law and the Commandments. The causes of lust (and how to remedy it). Aquinas's five simple proofs that God exists Grace: did you know there are six kinds? Temperance (and what it does not forbid) Fortitude, and the virtues that strengthen it Mary: can she really be the Mother of God? And more!

    About St. Thomas Aquinas, Pope John XXII said: "A man can derive more profit in a year from his books than from pondering all his life the teaching of others." And Pope Pius XI added: "We now say to all who are desirous of the truth: 'Go to St. Thomas.' " But when we do go to Thomas - when we open his massive Summa Theologica or another of his works - we're quickly overwhelmed, even lost. If we find him hard to read, how can we even begin to "think like Aquinas?" Now comes Kevin Vost -- the best-selling author of > -- armed with a recently rediscovered letter St. Thomas himself wrote - a brief letter to young novice monk giving practical, sage advice about how to study, how to think, and even how to live. In this letter written almost 800 years ago, St. Thomas reveals his unique powers of intellect and will, and explains how anyone can fathom and explain even the loftiest truths. Vost and St. Thomas will teach you how to dissect logical fallacies, heresies, and half-truths that continue to pollute our world with muddy thinking. Best of all, you'll find a fully-illustrated set of exercises to improve your intellectual powers of memory, understanding, logical reasoning, shrewdness, foresight, circumspection, and practical wisdom.

    Many of us fail to recognize that obtaining the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential to getting to heaven. We often block their reception through our own faults. We fail to see how they are passed on or strengthened in the sacraments. And, sadly, we forget to petition God in prayer to bestow these gifts upon us. In these pages, Dr. Kevin Vost best-selling author of The One-Minute Aquinas provides us with a substantive yet readable introduction to the seven gifts and how we can humbly submit our wills to the stirrings of the Holy Spirit. As Dr. Vost explains, these God-given gifts help us to conform our lives to His image, intellect and will. They prevent us from being drawn into frustration and possibly self-destruction by following our own sensual appetites. Indeed, the gifts of the Holy Spirit are the only path to being fully happy on earth and in the life to come. With St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Bonaventure as his guides, Dr. Vost introduces you to the special charism of the Holy Spirit before explaining each gift one by one. You'll discover the special meaning behind each of the natural and theological virtues, and you'll learn the indispensible link between the seven gifts and the Beatitudes. You'll also learn: How the seven gifts differ from the fruits of the Holy Spirit. The three ways to perfect fear of the Lord. The one sacrament that helps you fortify fortitude it's not the one you think. How the gift of knowledge differs from the gift of understanding. The seven steps to unwrapping and sharing each of the Holy Spirit's gifts. The greatest of the seven gifts and why you must possess it to attain heaven. Are the seven gifts habits we must develop, or does the Holy Spirit instill the habits in us?
