Zita: Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary by Charles A. Coulombe is a wonderful book on the last of the rulers of Austria-Hungary; a heart devoted to God, Family and her realm even after being deposed.  The good soil of Christian Culture was found in the heroic life of Zita, who is known as the Grandmother of Christian Europe.

The Royal Way of the Cross would bear abundant fruit - mother of eight, widowhood, penniless, homeless after World War I dissolved the Austro-Hungarian Empire and deposed the Habsburg rulers.  Zita considered her coronation sacred before God as did Emperor Charles, her husband, and never would they abdicate the crown.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus was ever present in the life of Zita and Archduke Charles of Austria and the many ways they honored and loved God in their family life and realm.  We can do as they did in our homes enthroned to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Every book sold will include a Prayer for the Beatification of the Servant of God, Zita, and a Sacred Heart of Jesus holy card.
