"Kalia confessed to murder last night amid a hushed silence that lasted only a short while before he went into detailed account of the events that led to it . . . Thus begins one of the prayers in this book. This is a book of prayers that tell a story. But, of course, all prayers - all personal prayers - tell stories. Prayer is, in many ways, the spiritualization of incident, and in every fervent prayer one can find a short story of an epic sticking to it. The Mumbai pavement is wonderfully rich in story. For every twenty-or-so-steps that you take over it, your feet could be shuffling through chapters, or, perhaps, volumes of intricate plot, moving human drama and the most thrilling narrative. This book is those twenty-or-so-steps of narrative and plot, the story of a pavement dweller and his patch of pavement told in the most intimate form of narration: his personal prayer"--
"This catechesis on conception by Francis Etheredge explains what is probably one of the greatest transformations in the whole of nature: the changing outward expression of human development that shows the presence of the person from conception. In these pages, Francis seeks to use what is familiar, ancient, modern, scientific, experiential, personal, and philosophical to help us to appreciate the whole gift of God in the mystery of human conception. At the same time, he appeals to ordinary experience. Just as relationships are for the good of all, we can recognize that the completion of human development is a human right for all who are conceived - excluding no one and accepting everyone"--
"Memoir of Grace (Children of the Cross) helps us to see the wonders and miracles that God has provided through the works of Mary Kloska, a woman from the first world who has touched the hearts of those in the third world with her pure and sacred love. Mary's books have changed the lives of many here in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and elsewhere in the world. In this memoir, Pakistani translator and missionary Aqif Shahzad looks at how Mary's books have given light, life, and healing to wounded and persecuted Christians. He reflects on his own experience with God and shares his personal life journey of how God chose him, a simple person from a village, for this ministry of Children of the Cross"--
This book is the compilation of over fifty years of teaching Metaphysics, Philosophy of the Person, Epistemology, and Ethics, including Virtue Ethics, in the classroom setting. Philosophy Begins in Wonder offers the classroom dynamic on the written page. Here you will find philosophical questions raised, many possible answers provided, guidance in discerning how to evaluate the answers, and encouragement for even greater considerations beyond the scope of this book. Philosophy that begins in wonder is open to proceeding further in a lifetime journey of wonder, avoiding the unnecessary pitfalls of cynicism, pessimism, and despair. This spirit of wonder offers to one a life of amazement, joy, gratitude and, therein, often the unexpected moments of knowledge, understanding, insights, and occasionally wisdom. --- back cover of book
"This book is an attempt to trace the footprints of the Creator since the event of the Big Bang. It is a snapshot in one volume of the movement and work of God in the world of our experience, especially illustrating the divine face of evolution since the beginnings of Creation"--
This work is a collection of treasures Jesus has shared with Mary Kloska's heart. In offering this to the reader, Mary hopes to witness to the great power Jesus' Cross contains in itself. Her heart cringes at the thought of her interior life with Him being laid open so bare before the world, but she remembers that her Spouse was crucified naked, bearing all of Himself to the world and allowing us to reach out and touch His naked wounds so that we can know the fathomless abyss of His Love contained within them. And so, Mary allows herself to be spiritually 'naked' with Him in order for you all to receive His Love in this intimate way. Because Jesus gives such great gifts to be shared with all of His Church, Mary prays that who she is does not distract you from Who He is, for that is what He wants to show to you here. Mary lays herself bare as His little wife crucified with Him on the Cross. Similar to St. Paul, she must simply live so that she can say, "I no longer live, but Jesus Crucified lives in me." She prays you meet Him here in these pages. Amen. Alleluia. Fiat.
"The Gender Link to the Human Soul establishes gender as an element of the soul retained in this life and for all eternity. This is demonstrated in the brilliant philosophical insights of Thomas Aquinas and John Paul II combined with illumination gleaned from Christ's Resurrection and Mary's Assumption"--
"Saynt Lachmi is a story of redemption in which the human body passes through reality's dark dungeons into the regions of light. The protagonist is the human body itself in the person of a young street child named Lachmi, who is whisked into prostitution, rescued, and led by her spirit and providence to the brink of sainthood. The body is seen as a prism through which you look at life in a spectrum ranging from depravity to divinity. In his Theology of the Body, St. John Paul II views this prism through the side that reveals divinity, that sees the body as a channel of grace. He sanctifies our human sexuality, which humanity has soiled and obliterated over time"--
This book presents the history of Western Civilization from the end of the Renaissance to Modern and the so-called Post-Modern Times. Topics include the limiting of monarchies, the development of western science, revolutions (political and other), nationalism, imperialism, totalitarianism and other isms, World Wars, the Cold War, Post-Modernism, and the present multi-centric world. Integrated within these topics are selections and discussions of artistic/cultural expressions that represent these various times.
"Are a "Prayer" and a "Kiss" irreconcilable? This is the question Francis Etheredge examines through this medley of "moments," both painful and beautiful, which are laid out as a kind of word-quilt that ranges over many years of life and writing. A theme among these "impressionistic" accounts of life is the "sharp thread" of an almost endlessly repetitive pain of "passing through" relationships. Marriage emerges as a triumph of God, reconciling the apparent contradiction between the "prayer" and the "kiss.""--
Western Civilization owes a debt of gratitude to three ancient civilizations: Jewish, Greek, and Roman. The first half of this book studies each of these civilizations to show how they contributed to western belief, thought, and practice. The second half begins with early Christianity and ends with the fragmentation of the West in the 1300s-1500s.
"Caitie Crowley was in a traumatic car accident on her way home from work and almost lost her life. She couldn't walk for 10 months. She took that time to write about her experiences and how her faith in God carried her through her pain. This book takes the reader through Caitie's physical struggle of learning to walk again and her interior struggle of learning to walk with God through the cross. Through Him, you can find hope when it appears hopeless"--
Sometimes gathering as few as a few hundred people, sometimes as many as 100,000 people a day, Mary Kloska has led spiritual warriors each morning on social media in prayer for myriads of intentions. Following the Church's traditional patrons for each day of the week, she has compiled a book of all of the prayers she uses at her Morning Rosary for the readers to use in their private prayer as well. In addition to prayers prayed daily at the end of the Rosary, including the 'Hail Holy Queen' and 'St. Michael Prayer, ' there are also special prayers with litanies for each day of the week. Including short meditations on each mystery of the rosary, Mary inspires those praying along with her to go deeper into the Heart of Prayer. Taking them spiritually to Nazareth, Bethlehem, Jerusalem-from the stable in the Nativity to the foot of the Cross on Golgotha, from the upper room on Pentecost to the heights of heaven during Our Lady's Coronation-Mary invites those who pray with her spiritually to travel with Jesus, Mary, the angels, and the saints into the Heart of God
"In this memoir, Dick Bishirjian tells of how his life has been enriched by the many noble persons he has met over the course of his professional life. That time coincides with the early years of the conservative "movement" in America. In such a world as ours, he argues, it is important to remember the great souls who ennoble us"--
"This book is about baking the bread of Christian community from the grains of our broken humanity. It is primarily concerned with distinguishing L'Arche's authentic spirituality from its founder Jean Vanier's personal flaws and, in doing so, creating enough distance between him and the institution he founded so that the latter can flourish in a world where scandal abounds, and suspicion (and even cynicism) thrives"--
"Following Jesus means being open to and led by his Spirit. This book explores the meaning of this phrase by looking at the larger picture of why God entered our world and became one of us in the first place. It hinges on one fundamental insight. If the mystery of the Incarnation marks the beginning of a renewed friendship between God and man, then the sending of his Spirit reveals an even deeper way for the two of them to relate. Because of the Spirit, God is now be able to dwell within the human heart throughout the corridors of history"--
"This book looks at J. M. Barrie's classic children's story Peter Pan to see what it can tell us about ourselves and our situation today. It discovers in this classic fairy-tale about the boy from Neverland who refuses to grow up an extensive map of a child's mind and the painful process of becoming an adult. Fairy tales are "literary dreams," if you will, that reveal to the reader the intricate workings of the human psyche. They use images and symbols to manifest both the deepest hopes and the greatest fears of the human heart. As such, they enable us to experience on a conscious level the forces at work deep in the realm of our unconscious lives. Peter Pan is no exception. From the moment it first appeared on the British stage, it has given its readers a penetrating (albeit fleeting) glimpse into the complex makeup of the human mind"--
"In this thoughtful reflection, Robin Arthur presents his perspectives on the God experience, addressing the conundrum of faith in Christ crucified, which St. Paul has told us is "a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles" (1 Cor. 1:23). How can we persevere in our faith when we are daily witnesses to human suffering and death? Arthur shows us that such perseverance is possible when we understand that the evils of this world are due to the misuse of our free will and that the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus provide the reason for our hope that the contrite sinner may be reconciled with God. This book walks with its reader those two steps"--
