Do you know the basic tenats of the Faith? Do your friends and family? The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a great resource, but it is not always possible to carry it around with you. However you can carry the Mini-Catechism with you anywhere-even in your back pocket. It is a descendant of the Penny Catechism approved by the Bishops in Ireland many many years ago. It has been updated (according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church) by Brother Charles Madden OFM Conv. of Marytown. 388 Questions and Answers plus some of the most used prayers from the tradition of the Church are included in this compact booklet edition. This is an official catechism with new imprimatur.
While not a penny anymore, still it won't break your pocketbook and quantity discounts are available if you want to give some to your friends, or just have some handy.
While you're at it, perhaps you want some light but engaging reading while flying on business or want a book with short stories so you can pick it up without spending 30 minutes trying to find your place. Then Brother Charles Madden's stories of growing up in Baltimore, Giving Up Stealing for Lent!, could be right for you.
The Maddens of Baltimore will surprise you, comfort you, make you laugh until you cry, and make you cry until you laugh again! From games of “pitch” to petty thievery, from over zealous confessions to exacerbating obedience, there is truly never a dull moment!
But these true stories about a real family, as told by the youngest brother, are much more than just a collection of humor. Together, they weave a tapestry about family life-the way it should be lived and enjoyed. The virtues and the vices, the laughter and the frustration, the happiness and the mourning, the prosperity and the poverty: the family is the first school of love.

End of commercial.... Oremus pro invicem!
