The Young Priest's Keepsake
Author: Michael J. Phelan
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 95
Book Description
This small book is written with the intention of helping young priests and religious students in fulfilling the challenges they may face in their careers. Although there are many books available for priests, laymen, and nuns, there are very few that specifically cater to the needs of young men starting out in their priesthood. It is during this crucial stage of character development and learning that advice and guidance are most valuable. The author writes with the sole qualification of his personal experience. After completing his education at an Irish seminary, he spent 13 years as a missionary in Australia and has since spent a decade conducting missions and retreats throughout Ireland. This long experience and his ability to observe have given him the authority to speak about his experiences in both seminary life and foreign and domestic missions.

Pope Francis
Author: Marie Duhamel
Publisher: Black Dog & Leventhal
ISBN: 0316317764
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 723
Book Description
From the moment he was elected into the papacy, Pope Francis has captured the attention of the world with his humility, charisma, and reformist spirit. This one-of-a-kind, illustrated biography of the first Jesuit pope offers more than 250 photographs and 50 removable documents from Francis's life. Written by Vatican Radio reporter Marie Duhamel, this intimate portrait includes his parents emigration from Italy, his birth as Jorge Mario Bergoglio in 1936, his love of soccer and opera as a child, the pneumonia that nearly cost him his life as a young adult, his calling to the priesthood, and his first encounter with poverty as a missionary in Chile that would change his life. Duhamel chronicles Francis's rise from priest to bishop to cardinal to the papacy and how, along the way, he impressed many people-and alienated some-with his courage to stand up to authority and his dedication to helping the poor. Enclosed documents such as his baptism certificate, photographs from his childhood, pages from a school notebook, handwritten notes as pope, and even a support card for his beloved San Lorenzo soccer club, further illuminate his life and create a lasting keepsake of this pope of the people.

Jane Austen And The Clergy
Author: Irene Collins
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0826433448
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Jane Austen was the daughter of a clergyman, the sister of two others and the cousin of four more. Her principal acquaintances were clergymen and their families, whose social, intellectual and religious attitudes she shared. Yet while clergymen feature in all her novels, often in major roles, there has been little recognition of their significance. To many readers their status and profession is a mystery, as they appear simply to be a sub-species of gentlemen and never seem to perform any duties. Mr Collins in "Pride and Prejudice" is often regarded as little more than a figure of fun. This work demonstrates the importance of Jane Austen's clerical background in explaining the clergy in her novels, whether Mr Tilney in Northanger Abbey, Mr Elton in Emma, or a less prominent character such as Dr Grant in Mansfield Park. In the book, the author draws on a range of knowledge of the literature and history of the period to describe who the clergy were, both in the novels and in life: how they were educated and appointed; the houses they lived in and the gardens they designed and cultivated; the women they married; their professional and social context; their income, their duties, their moral outlook and their beliefs. The discussion uses the facts of Jane Austen's life and the evidence contained in her letters and novels to give a portrait of the contemporary clergy.
