Book Synopsis The Silence of St. Thomas by : Josef Pieper
Download or read book The Silence of St. Thomas written by Josef Pieper and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A single theme runs through the three essays on St. Thomas gather in this book. It is the theme of mystery or, more exactly, the response of the searching human intellect to the fact of mystery. Both the fact and the response are suggested in a short biography of St. Thomas that forms the first essay and are then sketched out in detail by a presentation of the "negative element" in his philosophy. The third essay shows that contemporary Existentialism is in basic agreement with the philosophia perennis on this fundamental element of philosophical thinking.

Book Synopsis A Century of Horrors by : Alain Besancon
Download or read book A Century of Horrors written by Alain Besancon and published by ISI Books. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twentieth century bears the indelible imprint of both communism and Nazism. Today, it sometimes seems as if the former is all but forgotten, at least among Western elites, while our cultural memory of the latter is an inextinguishable fire. This inequality is surprising and calls out for explanation, a task the French political thinker Alain Besancon attempts here in a wise and elegant meditation. In examining the horror and destruction caused by both of these terrible ideologies, Besancon finds that recourse to theology is necessary if we are to achieve even feeble illumination. He also explains why, even with the full knowledge of the extent of communism's crimes, the uniqueness of the Shoah ought to be accepted without reservation.
Book Synopsis Behold the Pierced One by : Joseph Ratzinger
Download or read book Behold the Pierced One written by Joseph Ratzinger and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2011-01-18 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this profound and illuminating work, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger turns the gaze of an accomplished theologian upon the crucified Savior. This synthetic and meditative work is theological without being abstract or dry, and spiritual without being sentimental. The pierced heart of Christ must be the heart of theology and Christian life as well. Proceeding from the prayerful dialogue between the Incarnate Son and his Eternal Father, Joseph Ratzinger shows how one can approach the mystery of the Heart of Christ only through the imitation of this prayer. To know and understand Jesus we must participate in his prayer. The prayer of Christ must be the interior life of all who are joined to him in his Body, the Church. Using the Old and New Testaments and the Church Fathers, Ratzinger shows that the ecclesial community (the Church) was born from the pierced Heart of Christ on the Cross.

Download or read book New Christ written by Charles Anang and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians are likely to be unaware of the profound depths of their identity and sublime destiny. By Baptism, the Christian has become the temple of the indwelling Holy Spirit, so as to share in Christ's sonship of the Father. The new child of the Father is to become a new Christ: "We are no longer two people, Jesus and I; we are just one: Jesus alone" (Blessed Dina Bélanger). Part I begins with the need to experience the love of the Father and the friendship of Christ so as to attain a "mystical incarnation" through the Holy Spirit. Part II depicts the growth into Christ at His human and divine levels and our generation through two mothers (Church and Mary) and the Eucharist. Part III presents four dispositions in the heart of Christ: human virtues; peace of heart and abandonment in the present moment; joy; and the spirituality of communion.
Book Synopsis The God of Jesus Christ by : Joseph Ratzinger
Download or read book The God of Jesus Christ written by Joseph Ratzinger and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2018-08-22 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book of meditations, based on a series of meditations by the author shortly before he became Archbishop of Munich-Freising, in 1977, theologian Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) presents his profound thoughts on the nature and person of God, building a bridge between theology and spirituality as he makes wide use of the Sacred Scriptures to reveal the beauty and mystery of who God is. He writes about each of the three persons in the Holy Trinity, showing the different attributes of each person, and that "God is three and God is one." God is - and the Christian faith adds: God is as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three and one. This is the very heart of Christianity, but it is so often shrouded in a silence born of perplexity. Has the Church perhaps gone one step too far here? Ought we not rather leave something so great and inaccessible as God in his inaccessibility? Can something like the Trinity have any real meaning for us? It is certainly true that the proposition that "God is three and God is one" is and remains the expression of his otherness, which is infinitely greater than us and transcends all our thinking and our existence. But, as Joseph Ratzinger shows, if this proposition meant nothing to us, it would not have been revealed! And it could be clothed in human language only because it had already penetrated human thinking and living to some extent. "Without Jesus, we do not know what 'Father' truly is. This becomes visible in his prayer, which is the foundation of his being. A Jesus who was not continuously absorbed in the Father, and was not in continuous intimate communication with him, would be a completely different being from the Jesus of the Bible, the real Jesus of history... In Jesus' prayer, the Father becomes visible and Jesus makes himself known as the Son. The unity which this reveals is the Trinity. Accordingly, becoming a Christian means sharing in Jesus' prayer, entering into the model provided by his life, i.e. the model of prayer. Becoming a Christian means saying 'Father' with Jesus.” — Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)

Book Synopsis The Religious Sense by : Luigi Giussani
Download or read book The Religious Sense written by Luigi Giussani and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1997-10-24 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Religious Sense, the fruit of many years of dialogue with students, is an exploration of the search for meaning in life. Luigi Giussani shows that the nature of reason expresses itself in the ultimate need for truth, goodness, and beauty. These needs constitute the fabric of the religious sense, which is evident in every human being everywhere and in all times. So strong is this sense that it leads one to desire that the answer to life's mystery might reveal itself in some way.
Download or read book Why Preach written by Peter John Cameron and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well known for his teaching, writing, and editing of Magnificat, the widely popular monthly publication containing the Scripture readings and prayers for the Mass used weekly by several hundred thousand Catholics, Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P., offers here expert spiritual and practical help for priests, pastors and seminarians desiring to preach effectively. Why Preach draws from the author's rich understanding of the Word of God as the challenging, encouraging, and healing presence of Christ, as well as from his own experience as both a preacher and a teacher of homiletics. With an eye focused on the works and examples of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, Father Cameron illustrates that good preaching derives from and leads to an encounter with Christ, the Word of God made Flesh, who comes to us through the Scriptures. The objective of the book is to help preachers to think about preaching in a new, dynamic way. Its aim is to provide a fresh and helpful vision of preaching geared to deepening a preacher's appreciation of what preaching is, and the great spiritual impact that good preaching can have on its audience, so as to increase his desire and ability to preach well.
Book Synopsis A Cloister in the World by : Patrick Barry
Download or read book A Cloister in the World written by Patrick Barry and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the true story of a lay Catholic Movement in Chile (known as the Manquehue Apostolic Movement) which is deeply involved in education and in the opportunities and problems today of living the gospel in charity in the midst of the confusions of contemporary cultures and counter-cultures. The early narrative chapters tell the story, which must be of lively interest to any Christians dealing with the young, living with the handicapped, seeking to bring the wonder of gospel truth into the everyday life of the laity in families, in workplaces, in their hopes and dreams for the future. In the later chapters the author links all this experience to the vision of Vatican II for the laity of today, showing its vital relevance to everyone, not only in South America but wherever Christians are truly seeking their own role for the laity in bringing the gospel to all mankind. Vital to all, this story is the role of Benedictine spirituality in the development of this Chilean Catholic Movement. In the life of this lay Movement Saint Benedict's Rule has played a vital role. The story of how it has come about, not only in this Movement but in other lay Movements and groups throughout the world, is explained by the author before he ends with living examples of how many young people have been affected by the Rule and the Manquehue Movement.
