Dr. Peter Kwasnieski, founder of Os Justi Press, broke the news todayβ¦

In this thunderous collection of essays penned between 1996 and 2025, Fr. Perricone confronts the spiritual collapse of our times with razor-sharp prose and an unwavering fidelity to Catholic tradition. He challenges the fashionable heresies of modernity, dismantles sentimental distortions of truth and love, and rekindles the brilliance shed upon the world by saints, philosophers, and martyrs.
The essays are arranged in twelve categories:
Timely Truths and Egregious Errors
Of Popes, Cardinals, and Bishops
Of Councils and Synods
Of Priests and Priesthood
Divine Worship (with special emphasis on the TLM)
The Most Holy Eucharist
Beauty in the Church
Death and Resurrection
Spiritual Combat
Lessons from the Saints
Marriage and the Family
Our Fraying Culture
Each of the 139 essays is compact, readable in one go; but with over 550 pages, there's no premature end to the joy and inspiration awaiting you. (At the product page you can peak inside at the Table of Contents and a sampling of chapters.)
Find out, or remind yourself anew, why Fr. Perricone has long been one of the most popular essayists and apologists of our time.
No wonder Bishop Athanasius Schneider says on the back cover:
βI commend to the faithful Fr. Perriconeβs collected essays, which speak with a clarity and forthrightness so urgently required in our times, reminiscent of the voice of the Fathers in their unwavering fidelity to the deposit of faith. In an age that witnesses the eclipse of perennial truths, Fr. Perricone stands as a steadfast herald of Christβs immutable doctrine and the luminous beauty of Sacred Tradition.β
Available in paperback, hardcover, or ebook. 594 pp.
