ABLAZE IN THE
SPLENDOUR OF GOD: AMAZING SAINTS |
|
|
Luis
M. Bermejo, SJ |
| |
|
| |
The
Saints would be neither useful nor accessible
if they had always been blameless and had always
traveled over uplands in the sunlight. There have
been some saints who gave some people some trouble
some of the time. You will find in this book historical
portrait of saints as they really were –
warts and all. We ought to contemplate lovingly
human saints, struggling saints, failing saints,
sinful saints. |

was based entirely on love, the love she discovered
first in the mystery of the Blessed Trinity, the

AND THE
BUTTERFLY SAID, Ecological Meditations |
|
|
Carlos
G. Valles |
| |
|
|
The
butterfly is ecology’s ambassador
to the human race, and its urgent message
to all of us is that wee looks after nature’s
treasures if we don’t want to lose
them forever. This book aims at bringing
ecological experiences and considerations
to our prayer and our contemplation to awaken
us to a duty that is pleasure, and to a
responsibility which is enjoyment. “Ecological
awareness” is a new
virtue for a new century. |

“Put
an angel in your life” is the
practical advice to get guidance in perplexities,
strength in trials and friendly companionship
always. This book can bring joy and cheer
to all those who well can do with a healthy
sense of humour and an innocent faith in
our troubled days. Guardian angels are not
only for children. |

Jean
Pierre Caussade SJ |

|
|
A
Treatise on Prayer from the Heart responds
to our desires for praying by showing a
simple and direct path to prayer. True prayer
has to spring from our centre, from the
heart. A heart-charged prayer comes from
our deepest self, from the heart where God
speaks to us and where we know God. |

This

for pastoral clergy, who want to make a
fruitful renewal retreat. It is also an
invaluable resource for preachers who conduct
retreats. There is a rich mine of wisdom
and pastoral inspiration corroborated by
Gods’ Word, along with some carefully
chosen concilliar and post concilliar texts.
Fr. Ed has a life long experience in both
the catechetical and retreat ministries.
More importantly, he combines this with
a deep love and appreciation for the Diocesan
clergy. (Rev. Mathew
Uzhuthal, V.G. and Chancellor, Archdiocese

ENCOUNTERING
THE CARTMAN, Hints and suggestions for Growth

Cronin SJ |

Six
people in an Indian provincial town are
drawn into person-to-person contact with
a quite extraordinary cartman. Each of the
six comes to realize that, as a relationship
with this central character develops, life
itself takes on a new meaning, new purpose
leading to a fuller appreciation of family,
professional and civic responsibilities
as well as of personal worth. |

IN PRAISE
OF DAILY LIFE |
|
Carlos
G. Valles |
| |
|
| |
Jesus
taught us to pray for our daily bread, and
we carry out his divine injunction by living
in practice of daily life day by day as
it comes to us from his hands. A poets favourite
prayer was “Oh dawn, cleanse me from
all that stuck to me yesterday! Let today
be my only today”. That is all that
today can be. Examples, experiences, and
considerations help us to realize in our
lives what we clearly see in our minds.
To live our lives day by day is the way
to live them fully to God’s glory
and to our own satisfaction. Our daily life
becomes the daily bread of our prayer and
our endeavour. |

MEDITATIONS
FROM THE WOODS |
|
John
Ponnore |
| |
|
| |
The
beautiful nature will teach you to
pray. The poor, simple people who
live a harmonious life with nature
will teach you wisdom if you listen
to them. The creator God continues
to reveal His glory and wisdom through
nature and ordinary people. It is
“visible’
and “audible” to
all those who are open and profound
in their hearts with genuine love
for Him. This is a revelation of wisdom
hidden in the beauty of nature and
variety of human experiences. |

our prayer life, our religious life.

For
a long time we have been calling our
prayer life “spiritual
life”. This is justifiable,
but it is also dangerous, as it tends
to make us forget the fundamental
role of our body, or organism, our
senses play in the life of the spirit.
Many prayers could be straightened
up and many hardships could be softened
if we would learn to integrate our
“material”
existence into our long and generous
– and often frustrating - “spiritual”
effort. |

These
prayers based on the psalms can be
used in public recitation among groups
that get together to praise the Lord
and to find themselves in community;
and they can be used in the privacy
of personal contemplation to guide
the seeking mind and the longing heart
closer to the living God whose presence
is felt in every word of the prayers
he inspired so that the “new
song” may remain for
ever new. |

SCARECROW
EXPERIENCES, Some Elements of a Spirituality
for the Housebound Twilight Years. .
. Especially! |
|
Kevin
Cronin, S.J. |
| |
|

The
author writes –especially
if not exclusively– with
elderly retired people in mind. His
aim is to help them realize that life
continues to be meaningful, purposeful
and apostolically fruitful even though
they have left behind them perhaps
many years of committed involvement
in one or other area of life-promoting
service of others, and have entered
into a physically and mentally less
demanding “twilight”
zone in life. The author’s intention
is to help such life-experienced people
find, or find again, that purpose.

All
saints are loving and some saints

that some others are not. Some saints
can be enormously attractive, simply
fascinating—just as some others
can be unappealing in the extreme,
too remote from us, too supernatural.
We want to see ourselves in the saints,
we like to grasp firmly with our hands
their sanctity of flesh and blood. |

are shadowed. The discovery of “The

The brief description, the quick image,

story. So that those who want to hear
may hear, and those who want to understand
may understand. This is the role of
the wisdom story in the East. Something

This

of God, and Christianity as an experience
of God in Christ. “What
we have seen and heard”
as the basis of the Christian witness,
and gleaning from history and biography
a number of personal stories and testimonies
from peoples of all kinds, the experience
of God is shown to be a ready grace
for the believer and an indispensable
condition for the apostle. |
