Lighthouse Catholic Media

By Mike Lambrecht

      Did you know that our parish has just recently ordered 10 new talks on audio CDs by well-known Catholic speakers? They can be found in the “Lighthouse Catholic Media” stand near the library.

      If you are already familiar with this wonderful program, please stop by to check out the new offerings. If you are not, then I would urge you take a look at what we have to offer. Each CD presents a wonderful Catholic speaker on a particular topic. For your convenience, I have listed the new topics here and give a brief synopsis of them as taken from the CD jackets themselves:

Amazing Angels and Super Saints - Episode 2

Cat. Chat is a Catholic Audio Show for kids ages 3-11 to help them learn and love their Faith like never before! Using prayer, great conversations, faith-filled stories, and catchy songs, each CD discusses the Catholic Faith while teaching kids powerful lessons for living out their Faith every day. 

 

The Battle for Souls: Christ’s Redemption

In this stirring talk by Father John Corapi, you will learn about the cosmic warfare going on for the battle of souls and hear an incredible meditation on Holy Thursday when Christ instituted the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.

 

Confession

Based upon his proven and powerful parish mission presentation, Fr. Larry Richards’ talk on Confession has become the #1 talk in North America dealing with one of the Catholic Faith’s most misunderstood Sacraments. He is riveting, honest, very human, often touchingly gentle, and yes, even humorous, and provides listeners with hope for a closer, healing relationship with Jesus Christ.

 

Discipline That Lasts a Lifetime

Dr. Ray is a psychologist, radio talk show host, husband, and a father to 10 adopted children. He explains that what is needed to raise well-adjusted children who are prepared to succeed in life in today’s challenging environment is uncommonly good parenting. He draws from his wealth of knowledge and experience to discuss, with wisdom and humor, practical ways to succeed in this God-given calling.

 

Fallen Fiction: The Truth About Angels and Demons

 

While being thinly veiled as entertainment, the blockbuster movie, Angels & Demons, assaults the faith of millions and grossly mischaracterizes the Catholic Church, portraying it to be a murderous institution bent on eliminating those who would foster scientific progress. Nothing could be further from the truth. In this educated critique, Matthew Arnold uses historical facts and reason to set the record straight as he brings to light the Catholic Church’s leading role throughout the ages in furthering science and demanding respect for every human life.

 

Former satanist Becomes Catholic

How great a threat is the occult? In this provocative testimony, former satanist, Betty Brennan shares the story of her remarkable journey from a dark existence of devil worship to the fulfillment of truth in Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church. You will be enlightened by her amazing sojourn, her search for deliverance, and her mission to open the eyes of others to the truth of the devil.

 

How to Bring Fallen-Away Catholics Back

What is evangelization all about? What role does the Church expect ordinary Catholics to play in spreading the Catholic Faith? Dr. Scott Hahn, author and renowned theologian, challenges “cradle” Catholics to witness to the Faith through everyday life. He presents proven and effective ways to touch those who have fallen away from the Church, even those with the most hardened of hearts.

 

Mary: Handmaid of the Lord

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta is known throughout the world as a woman who was totally committed to the Gospel. In this inspiring talk, she shares her insights on the Blessed Virgin Mary as a model of womanhood and perfect discipleship. She shows us that we, too, can do the will of God by saying “yes” to the Lord in the big and little things in our lives; nothing is too insignificant.

 

Three To Get Married

In this classic on love and marriage, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen places sex in the context of human love, and human love in the context of Divine Love. One of the greatest and best-loved spokesmen for the Catholic Faith, he beautifully presents the Catholic concept of marriage, emphasizing that our Blessed Lord must be at the center of every successful and loving marriage.

 

Why Do We Have a Pope?

As a former Protestant minister, Dr. Scott Hahn knows very well the common objections non-Catholics have to the Catholic Faith. In this informative talk, he tackles the tough issue of the Papacy and defends our belief that the Pope is part of Christ’s design for His Church. Become better equipped to respond to those who attack the crucial role of the successor of St. Peter in the Church’s mission.

We also have a wonderful new brochure available entitled, “Top Ten Questions Catholics are Asked.”

      In order to help offset the cost of this program to our parish, a donation of $3.00 for each audio CD and $0.50 for each brochure is greatly appreciated. In this way, we can continue to bring in new talks to keep our program fresh and enlightening.
