Hearts on Fire
Hearts on Fire is a collection of prayers and reflections composed by Jesuits across the centuries.

This collection will offer inspiration and consolation.
How to discover your vocation
This is a wonderfully down-to-earth guide from Fr. Stephen Wang of the Westminster Diocese. Full of helpful advice, it also includes inspiring anecdotes from men and women who have explored or are still exploring their vocation, whether to religious, priestly, married or single life in the Church. A very good book indeed for beginning your exploration of vocation.
God Still Matters
God still Matters is one of three collections of the talks and homilies of the Dominican philospher and Theologian, Herbert McCabe. If you want to really think about what you believe and why you believe it, then you couldn't find a better writer to stimulate your reflection.
The Examen Prayer
Fr. Timothy Gallagher OMV makes the Examen prayer of St.Ignatius Loyola accessible to everyone. This book shows just how important it can be to review each day in a prayerful way, and how much our lives can be transformed by this daily searching for where the Spirit of Christ is at work in ourselves, in others and in the world around us.
The Fifth Week
Fr. William O’Malley’s The Fifth Week is an engaging introduction to the Society of Jesus and to Jesuit life. You will find here portraits of some of the most famous Jesuits of the past but also of those less well known but none the less remarkable. O’Malley also writes of his own life as a Jesuit, his story of struggles and joys providing an inspiring testimony of the richness of a Jesuit vocation.
