Man of God: The Catholic Priest and the Cornerstones of His Life provides rich reflections on the great loves of the priest: God, the Catholic faith, the priesthood of Christ, the salvation of souls, humility, chastity, the Cross, the Holy Mass, the tabernacle, the confessional, the holy angels, and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Prayerful consideration of Man of God will undoubtedly foster a deeper love for the spiritual treasures of the priesthood and rekindle in all priests the embers of desire that first drew them toward their holy vocation.

Book Synopsis Why Celibacy?: Reclaiming the Fatherhood of the Priest by : Fr. Carter Griffin
Download or read book Why Celibacy?: Reclaiming the Fatherhood of the Priest written by Fr. Carter Griffin and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Church today demands a profound renewal of celibate priesthood and the fatherhood to which it is ordered.” Priestly celibacy, some say, is an outdated relic from another age. Others see it as a lonely way of life. But as Fr. Carter Griffin argues in Why Celibacy?: Reclaiming the Fatherhood of the Priest, the ancient practice of celibacy, when lived well, helps a priest exercise his spiritual fatherhood joyfully and fruitfully. Along the way, Griffin explores: the question of optional celibacy some pitfalls of celibate paternity the selection and formation of candidates for celibate priesthood why biological fathers are also called to spiritual fatherhood the powerful impact of celibacy on the Church and the wider culture In a critical moment for the Catholic priesthood, Fr. Griffin brings light and hope with a new perspective on the Church’s perennial wisdom on celibacy.
Book Synopsis Luther on Vocation by : Gustaf Wingren
Download or read book Luther on Vocation written by Gustaf Wingren and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-02-19 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ...[C]oncern about the [inherited doctrine of vocation and its relevance for modern life] was generated out of the complexities and frustrations especially of industrial life, and it has produced a voluminous literature of a popular and semi-popular kind which has served to drive home the problem of daily work upon the conscience of contemporary Christians, and also to provide certain resources for handling it. In addition to this varied literature, the last years have also seen a very general discussion of the question at every level of church life: in ecumencal conferences, in the curricular material of the major denominations, and in conferences and study groups of all kinds. About the urgency and importance of the problem of vocation there is now no doubt. But now we find that the rather simple formulae in which we have been dealing with it do justice neither to the Biblical and Reformation inheritance, nor to the profound dilemmas that appear not only in industry, but in every area of professional and commercial life. The problem now is not only to equip our lay-people with fuller theological resources for the understanding of the meaning of discipleship, but to utilize their practical experience of day-to-day dilemmas and day to-day decisions. ...Gustaf Wingren's conscientious analysis of Luther's teaching on the matter...remains our prime resource for the understanding of the relation of faith and works. Nothing could exceed the patience and thoroughness with which Wingren has combed through the Luther corpus.... [I]t will serve to put the full range of Luther's insight at the disposal of those who care for theology as part of their care of all the Churches. Alexander Miller Stanford University

Book Synopsis Seasons With Sojourners by : Henry Reitzug
Download or read book Seasons With Sojourners written by Henry Reitzug and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-22 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “DR. REITZUG SHARES AN AMAZINGLY WRITTEN COLLECTION OF HIS EXPERIENCES THAT HAVE IMPACTED MANY OF THE LESS FORTUNATE … AN INSPIRING EXAMPLE OF AN UNSELFISH LIFE COMMITTED TO THOSE OFTEN LIVING ON THE EDGE.” - DICK FREDERICK, MEDICAL TEAMS INTERNATIONAL (Ret.) “Pushing carts, pulling suitcases, carrying babies, and dragging old folks, the endless procession in winter coats and mud-caked boots struggles up wintry hills. Gaunt faces reflect the silence that pervades when there are no more words to shout, when the well of tears has been drained, and the deluge of grief has drowned all other feeling. In a funeral cortège for a country and a way of life, the outcasts trudge on, mile after mile, hour after hour. At the top of a knoll, a weed-covered marker mutely announces the border of Albania. An Associated Press photographer standing next to it snaps a picture of the latest refugees from genocide.” Three days later the picture became front page news. Seeing it awakened threads to Dr. Reitzug’s refugee past. In the anguished faces he saw his own family’s season on the run. Moved, he soon found himself practicing medicine in refugee camps and in the hard places of disaster. Traveling by canoe, helicopter, Mekong River Speedboat, Land Rover, and Russian Jeep where there were no roads, Dr. Reitzug found heartache and joy, dodged danger, and ministered to the sojourners of our days in their season of need.

Download or read book The Death of a Man written by Ted Tenney and published by . This book was released on 2014-01-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can know about Jesus. You can believe in Jesus. You can even love Jesus. But if you are not passionately in love with Him, then you have not even kept the first and greatest commandment, "Love the Lord, your God, with all your heart" (Matt. 22:37, 38). If you really love Him, you will keep His commandments (John 14:15). The commandment to all who want to follow Jesus and become a true Christian is found in Matt. 16:24 where Jesus says, "If any man would come after me (be a follower of mine), he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." In order for us to do that, it is imperative that we understand what that statement really means and exactly how we are to deny ourselves and take up our cross. Jesus did it, He is our example. This book will walk you through the process of following in Jesus footsteps. It is a step by step approach to experiencing the "new life" that is available to all those who truly desire to follow Jesus.

Book Synopsis The Mysteries of Christianity by : Matthias Joseph Scheeben
Download or read book The Mysteries of Christianity written by Matthias Joseph Scheeben and published by Emmaus Academic. This book was released on 2023-03-17 with total page 926 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mysteries of Christianity is Matthias Joseph Scheeben’s youthful magnum opus, a logically rigorous and spiritually profound dogmatic theology. In its pages, he explores the intelligibility of Christianity’s supernatural mysteries and their deep connectedness, ultimately demonstrating that Christian theology constitutes a science before the court of human reason, even as its object transcends human comprehension. Scheeben’s task is to present a unified view of the whole panorama of revealed truth, and he pursues this by considering nine key Christian mysteries: the Trinity, creation, sin, the Incarnation, the Eucharist, the Church and its sacraments, justification, eschatological glory, and predestination. Since the mystery of the Trinity is the root of the supernatural order, Scheeben begins here, showing that the foundation of the salvific economy lies in the eternal processions of persons in God—the begetting of the Son and the spiration of the Spirit being in different ways the cause of the life of grace in the human soul. When the Son and the Spirit are sent into the world in the Incarnation and through the bestowal of grace, they provide the way for human beings to see God face-to-face in the beatific vision, the end for which God created humans. Among the means of return to God, Scheeben particularly emphasizes the Eucharist, on account of its close connection with the mystery of the Incarnation. By placing his treatment of the Eucharist before that of the Church, he signals that his is a genuinely Eucharistic ecclesiology, centered on the abiding presence of the incarnate divine Son.

Download or read book Hail, Holy Queen written by Scott Hahn and published by Image. This book was released on 2006-09-19 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential reading for all Catholics! Bestselling author, Scott Hahn illuminates a fresh and enlightening perspective on Mary, Mother of God, and her central importance in the Christian faith. In The Lamb's Supper, Hahn explored the relationship between the Book of Revelation and the Roman Catholic Mass, deftly clarifying the most subtle of theological points with analogies and anecdotes from everyday life. In Hail, Holy Queen, he employs the same accessible, entertaining style to demonstrate Mary's essential role in Christianity's redemptive message. Most Christians know that the life of Jesus is foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament. Through a close examination of the Bible, as well as the work of both Catholic and Protestant scholars and clergy, Hahn brings to light the small but significant details showing that just as Jesus is the "New Adam," so Mary is the "New Eve." He unveils the Marian mystery at the heart of the Book of Revelation and reveals how it is foretold in the very first pages of the Book of Genesis and in the story of King David's monarchy, which speaks of a privileged place for the mother of the king. Building on these scriptural and historical foundations, Hahn presents a new look at the Marian doctrines: Her Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption, and Coronation. As he guides modern-day readers through passages filled with mysteries and poetry, Hahn helps them rediscover the ancient art and science of reading the Scriptures and gain a more profound understanding of their truthfulness and relevance to faith and the practice of religion in the contemporary world.
