Holy Days: Meditations on the Feasts, Fasts, and Solemnities
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Benedict / Schindler, David C. / Coulet, Jean-Michel, PUBLISHER: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, For Pope Benedict XVI, "the liturgical year is a great voyage of faith on which the Church sets us out." The feast days in the Church's liturgical calendar follow the major events of Jesus' life as recounted in the Gospels. This cycle provides a rhythm to the life of the Church and helps Christians better understand the divine mystery. Especially in our secularized society, liturgical practices guide and deepen our path, centering our focus on Christ and teaching us how to live. Beginning with Advent and concluding with the feast of Christ the King, Holy Days presents selected homilies that the Pope has pronounced over the course of the liturgical year in Rome. The book is organized by season and feast days, with brief introductions. This short volume will be a welcome resource for priests and parishioners seeking to focus their minds in preparation for worship.
Fully Empowered: A Bilingual Edition
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Neruda, Pablo / Reid, Alastair, PUBLISHER: Farrar Straus Giroux, An important collection that includes some of the Nobel Prize winner's own favorite poems. "The Sea" "A single entity, but no blood." "A single caress, death or a rose." "The sea comes in and puts our lives together" "and attacks alone and spreads itself and sing" "sin nights and days and men and living creatures." "Its essence-fire and cold; movement, movement." Pablo Neruda himself regarded "Fully Empowered" -- which first appeared in Spanish in under the title Plenos Poderes -- as a particular favorite, in part because it came out of a most fruitful period in his life. These thirty-six poems vary from short, intense lyrics to characteristic Neruda odes to magnificent meditations on the office of poet, including poems that would undoubtedly claim a place in any selection of Neruda's greatest work. "The People" ("El Pueblo"), about the state of the working man in Chile's past and present, and the most celebrated of Neruda's later poems, completes this reflective, graceful collection.

Son of Man: The Mystical Way to Christ
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Harvey, Andrew / Hamut, Eryk / Hanut, Eryk, PUBLISHER: Putnam Publishing Group, Son of Man is both a celebration of the mystical Christ and a practical guidebook to contacting Christ and experiencing what St. Paul called "the glorious liberty of the children of God". The New York Times recently wrote, "The spirit that moves Andrew Harvey is gaining him literary acclaim". In his long-awaited major new book, Son of Man, Harvey explores the sacred feminine aspects of Jesus. He explains that Christ came to help release humanity from all bonds of false authority and to reveal to people their own divine identity, thereby awakening all to the freedom, dignity, and joy that is within them. In the second section, Harvey offers transformative ways of realizing the power of Christ. These practices are drawn from the early Christian traditions of mantra, medieval mystic devotional practices, the vision of prayer of Teresa of Avila, and based upon the author's own experiences of the meditation and visualization practices of Hinduism, Sufism, and Tibetan Buddhism. A section of meditations and readings at the end -- including recently discovered Gnostic gospels -- complete the readers full experience in the mystical Christ. A beautiful volume of text and photographs, Son of Man will help us enter into a union with Christ as he becomes the "source and principle of divine life" (Thomas Merton) within us. Index. Bibliography.

Monsieur de La Salle
Elio D'AURORA Editrice A & C. Torino - III° edizione - Avvincente come un bel romanzo, precisa come un saggio di storia, profonda nelle considerazioni e deduzioni,l'agiografia lassalliana si arricchisce di un nuovo metodo che esula dai precedenti seguiti dagli studiosi cattedratici occupati a trasformare la Vita in una serie di riferimenti dotti. Il seicento è presente ad ogni pagina. La vita del de La Salle si svolge con la stessa velocità di un film, mentre gli anni scorrono inesorabilmente seguendo il variare degli eventi. Monsieur de La Salle ha un preciso contatto con l'irriducibile realismo di un secolo dibattuto tra il caso di coscienza, il conflitto determinato da un senso di colpa e la necessità di rigenerarsi. L'immediatezza del libro è vissuta sino all'angoscia con abilità stilistica che ha pochi precedenti spedizione non tracciata euro 1,90 tracciata euro 4,90 copertina morbida - pagg. 241 - Lit. - Foto 1 - copertina - Foto 2 - de La Salle a sedici anni - Foto 3 - de La Salle durante la carestia del - Foto 4 - Giacomo II visita il convitto per i profughi irlandesi - Foto 5 - Editio princeps delle Meditations pour le temps de la retraite - Foto 6 - Pagina delle Regles de la bienseance et de la civilite chretienne - Edizione del in caratteri di civilitè - Foto 7 - Giochi di ragazzi nel XVIII secolo - Foto 8 - Visita di de La Salle alla Grande-Chartreuse nel gennaio del
The Ignatian Adventure: Experiencing the Spiritual Exercises
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: O'Brien, Kevin, PUBLISHER: Loyola Press, Embark on the spiritual adventure of a lifetime--with St. Ignatius Loyola as your guide There are many ways to experience the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola, each way known as an annotation. In "The Ignatian Adventure," Kevin O'Brien, SJ, offers his own adaptation of the widely used 19th annotation, which allows people to "make" the Exercises over an extended period of time in the course of their daily lives. The first part of O'Brien's book provides helpful background information, including a brief history of St. Ignatius, an explanation of the Spiritual Exercises and their purpose, and a description of different ways to make the Exercises. The book's core offers 32 weeks of prayer and meditations, the ultimate intent of which is to draw participants into a deeper encounter with God. But what truly sets this book apart from other 19th annotations is how O'Brien, the executive director of campus ministry at Georgetown University, has woven throughout the chapters his own personal accounts of living out the Exercises in everyday life. Through O'Brien's deeply moving stories, readers discover how the Exercises intersect with the real world. "The Ignatian Adventure" is an ideal resource for spiritual directors, but its user-friendly, down-to-earth style also makes it perfect for any individual seeking a better understanding of Ignatian spirituality or a deeper life of prayer.
This Is Not a Diary
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bauman, Zygmunt, PUBLISHER: Polity Press, This is not a diary: while these observations were recorded in autumn and spring in the form of dated entries, they are not a personal reflection but an attempt to capture signs of our times in their movement - possibly at birth, at a stage when they are still barely perceptible, and in any case before they have matured into common, all too familiar forms, escaping our attention due to their banality. Some will perhaps settle in our daily life for a long time to come, others will fade and vanish before they would otherwise have a chance to be noted, recorded and explored in depth: in our fast-moving, protean and kaleidoscopic world, it is hardly possible to predict their future course and to decide in advance which of them will grow in volume and significance and which will prove to have been still-born. Whatever their fate, the author tried to take a leaf from William Blake's precept of seeing the universe in a grain of sand - and, having done so, alert us to what is or may be happening to our individual lives, forms of togetherness, shared prospects; to the ways we perceive and relate to each other, the forces that shape our life chances and itineraries; and to the ways we try to control, or at least influence, and sometimes even reform for the better, some or all those dimensions of our existence. These timely meditations by one of the most perceptive social thinkers of our time will appeal to a wide range of readers.
