Download or read book Silent Music written by Robert A. Herrera and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Beginning with a historical essay on the phenomenon of mysticism, Silent Music chronicles St. John's life story - from his humble birth in 1542, through his career as a professional religious, to his death in 1591 - placing the man and his spirituality squarely in their historical-cultural context. Herrera probes the saint's rigorous life of contemplation and his classic writings on such subjects as union with God and the "dark night of the soul," clarifying St. John's understanding of the mystical experience and paying particular attention to the notion of detachment and the recurring motifs of darkness, flame, and ascent in St. John's writings. His careful analysis of St. John's thought is enriched with examples from philosophy, psychology, literature, spirituality, and art - material not usually found in such a study.".

Download or read book Witness to Hope written by George Weigel and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 1228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER "A remarkable book. Weigel's biography is likely to remain the standard one-volume reference on John Paul II for many years to come." — Pittsburg Post-Gazette ?“Fascinating. . . sheds light on the history of the twentieth century for everyone.” —New York Times Book Review The definitive biography of Pope John Paul II that explores how influential he was on the world stage and in some of the most historic events of the twentieth century that can still be felt today Witness to Hope is the authoritative biography of one of the singular figures—some might argue the singular figure—of our time. With unprecedented cooperation from John Paul II and the people who knew and worked with him throughout his life, George Weigel offers a groundbreaking portrait of the Pope as a man, a thinker, and a leader whose religious convictions defined a new approach to world politics—and changed the course of history. As even his critics concede, John Paul II occupied a unique place on the world stage and put down intellectual markers that no one could ignore or avoid as humanity entered a new millennium fraught with possibility and danger. The Pope was a man of prodigious energy who played a crucial, yet insufficiently explored, role in some of the most momentous events of our time, including the collapse of European communism, the quest for peace in the Middle East, and the democratic transformation of Latin America. With an updated preface, this edition of Witness to Hope explains how this “man from a far country” did all of that, and much more—and what both his accomplishments and the unfinished business of his pontificate mean for the future of the Church and the world.
Book Synopsis The Life and After-life of St. John of Beverley by : Susan E. Wilson
Download or read book The Life and After-life of St. John of Beverley written by Susan E. Wilson and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This represents the first study devoted to the life and after-life of St John of Beverley. The hagiographic works on John extend over nearly six hundred years from the 8th to the 15th centuries. Wilson uses these sources as a unique opportunity to examine the ways in which an Anglo-Saxon saint was promoted over a long period of time and was continually re-created in the image which the hagiographers or community required, depending on their current needs and perceptions. The volume also includes the first English translations of the Life and the miracle stories.

Book Synopsis Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word by : Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis
Download or read book Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word written by Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 871 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the unstudied eye, St. Matthew's gospel can seem a terse narrative, almost a historical document and not the tremendously spiritual (and doctrinal) storehouse that it is. In his third volume of meditations on Matthew (chapters 19-25), Erasmo Leiva continues to show Matthew's prose to be not terse so much as economical--astoundingly so given its depth. The lay reader can derive great profit from reading this. Each short meditation comments on a verse or two, pointing to some facet of the text not immediately apparent, but rich with meaning. Leiva's work is scholarly but eminently approachable by the lay reader. The tone is very much of "taste and see how good the Lord is" and an invitation of "friend, come up higher!." The goal of the book is to help the reader experience the heat of the divine heart and the light of the divine Word. Leiva comments on the Greek text, demonstrating nuances in the text that defy translation. He uses numerous quotes from the Fathers and the Liturgy of the Church to demonstrate the way the Tradition has lived and read the Word of God. His theological reflection vivifies doctrine by seeking its roots in the words and actions of Jesus.

Book Synopsis Six Books on the Priesthood by : Saint John Chrysostom
Download or read book Six Books on the Priesthood written by Saint John Chrysostom and published by St Vladimir's Seminary Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: None of the Fathers of the early church is better known or loved than St John Chrysostom, and none of his works is more popular than On the Priesthood. Its stylistic brilliance demonstrates the appropriateness of St John's enduring title, "the golden-mouthed." Yet the rhetorical eloquence of the work is not simply camouflage for lack of substance. As Graham Neville observes in his Introduction, Chrysostom "had a mind both practical and idealistic, that brought into close connection the evils and injustices of the world and the perfection of moral life demanded by the gospel." Chrysostom's unique gift for linking concrete observation and theological vision is nowhere more evident than in On the Priesthood. Its presence helps to account for the work's power to inspire and challenge Christians in all ages. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1850 edition. Excerpt: ... and he was to teach them all things, and to guide them unto all truth, and to bring to their remembrance with power and effect all which Jesus had said to them in " the days of his flesh." Thus each error and each sin of the apostles, faithfully recorded in God's Word, is not without its lesson for the church. Each should teach us to think and to speak humbly of man, and to think and to speak adoringly of God, who alone can preserve the most excellent of men from such errors and such sins, and enable them to live in "holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of their life." Each should remind us of Him, even the Holy Ghost, who alone can fill such "earthen vessels" with the treasures of Divine grace. Each should teach us to mark the necessity as well as the glory of the Spirit's work, so that in all which was wise and enlightened and good and powerful and laudable in Christ's chosen witnesses, not man but God may be glorified. The application of all this to St. John, at the present point of his history, needs no single word. . 10.--John, as one of the two sons of Zebedee, making his ambitious claim for preferment in Christ's kingdom. Matt. xx. 17--28. Mark x. 32--46. The next event in the sacred history, directing attention to St. John, is that narrated by St. Matthew and St. Mark, concerning the claim or petition for preferment in Christ's kingdom, made conjointly by the "mother of Zebedee's children," and those children themselves. Robinson, the American traveller, whose authority is extremely valuable on all geographical matters, places the scene of this request in Perea. At all events we know that Jesus was now on the way to Jerusalem, in preparation for his public entry into the city, and for keeping his last passover...
