Maravillas of Jesus
Author: Butler's Saints of the Third Millennium
Author: Paul BurnsPublisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 9780860123828
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Pope John Paul II has proclaimed an unprecedented number of new saints and blesseds in the 25 years of his pontificate and shows few signs of slowing the process, despite the criticism from at least one cardinal that the altars are getting 'a little crowded'. The proclamations have been made in a large number of countries, from which the new saints and blesseds have come. This reflects a deliberate policy of strengthening the faith of local churches against the threats from totalitarianism, secularism, Pentecostalism, etc. (the Vatican tends to see most of the 'outside' world as a threat). There has also been a deliberate policy to seek more examples of holiness from outside the ranks of clergy and religious. The twentieth century has been seen as the century of martyrs, largely those of Nazism and Communism, and they feature prominently - those of nominally Catholic military regimes are less favoured. The Introduction will make such points. This volume proposes to cover a four-year period in the Butler's style. Blesseds appearing in the 1995-2000 volumes who have since been canonized will have their entries updated and expanded as necessary; new blesseds will be featured with the information that is available - which in the case of some Third-World figures is not very much. Entries will therefore range from around 3,000 words to 200, with an average of some 800. The number of entries will be approximately 80.
From Darkness to Light
Author: Despo PishiriPublisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1982265388
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
During a client hypnosis session, author Despo Pishiri unintentionally managed to communicate with her Higher Self. The client was in a deep state of hypnosis, and Despo’s Higher Self used this opportunity to talk to her through her client. The Higher Self provided valuable information about Despo’s past lives which triggered her curiosity to understand the mechanisms involved in the process of spiritual development. This initial channeling encouraged her to find her true self, and it became the catalyst for writing this, her first book, From Darkness to Light. With a blend of personal and professional testimony, she reinforces the message of love, compassion, and tolerance inherent in the three religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity against the backdrop of knowing who you are. She stresses the similarities between the three religions and reinforces the ideas of their teachings. Useful and enlightening, From Darkness to Light shares Despo’s personal discoveries as well as offers principles about self and healing your body, mind and spirit.
Radical Saints
Author: Melanie RigneyPublisher: Franciscan Media
ISBN: 163253312X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
“The path to sainthood is varied for every individual, but a few common virtues and traits are shared by every saint: holiness, strength, and courage. Join Melanie Rigney for a new perspective on the lives of many well-known saints and an introduction to new spiritual giants to accompany you on your own journey of radical love and faith.” —Lisa M. Hendey, author, I'm a Saint in the Making Radical Saints: 21 Women for the 21st Century features twenty-one saints who walked the earth in the twentieth century and were canonized in the twenty-first. Each chapter tells the story of one woman’s radical gift and the world in which she lived. You’ll also find stories of everyday women who are living these gifts in ways large and small today. “Is there anything more radical than loving God with your entire being and loving your neighbor as yourself?” Rigney writes. “How about loving those who look different from us or who have betrayed us, injured us, or persecuted us simply because we’re told God loves them every bit as much as he loves us. Now that’s radical.” Some of the women featured include Jacinta Marto, Elizabeth of the Trinity, Teresa of Calcutta, , Marianne Cope, Mary Mackillop, Gianna Beretta Molla, Katharine Drexel, Josephine Bakhita, and Maria Faustina Kowalska.

Contemplative Enigmas
Author: Fr. Donald HaggertyPublisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1621643433
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
Despite signs in recent decades of a crisis in the Church, a countercurrent of intense interest in prayer and a close relationship with God is clearly at work today. A deeper esteem for contemplation has accompanied this turning to prayer, and many people desire spiritual direction and guidance. Written by a recognized expert on contemplative prayer, this book concentrates on the interior hardships experienced by souls who give themselves to God wholeheartedly. More than a summary of the symptoms of interior trial, these poignant observations are the fruit of the author's many years in retreat work. Personal experience, not simply knowledge of the spiritual tradition, inform his concise, carefully crafted comments. Throughout the book, the writing invites the reader to ponder the subject of spiritual darkness, perplexity, and other struggles in the spiritual life always in the light of the loving God, who draws souls into greater surrender to himself.

Four Last Things
Author: Fr. Wade MenezesPublisher: Sophia Institute Press
ISBN: 1682780422
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
Few things in this earthly life are absolutely certain, but the most undebatable of these is death. Every person, even the atheist, will admit that death is certain. Death, however, is not the last event in this life of ours. Immediately after death, we shall be judged and then again on the Day of Judgment when all humanity will know us for what we are. Too often the reality of Heaven and salvation are highlighted at the expense of the Church's teachings on Death, Judgment, Purgatory, and Hell. Yet, these important doctrines of the Church hold the truths of salvation truths that can lead us to Heaven or can pull us away from it. In these pages, Fr. Wade Menezes, EWTN television host and Assistant General of the Fathers of Mercy, shows us that God has not called us to His wrath, but to salvation. He shows us that Heaven and Hell, salvation and damnation, eternal life and eternal punishment are all complementary doctrines. They need each other to be complete and we must understand the Church's teachings on all of these doctrines in order to have a balanced view of the world. Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell these are the Four Last Things toward which we are moving each hour of the day and night. Read this book, and you'll have a firm grasp of one of the most important doctrines of Holy Mother Church that holds the truths of Heaven and our own salvation.
