A Pilgrimage Through the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition
A Pilgrimage Through the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition, hardcover edition.336 pagesA Pilgrimage Through the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition. edited by Fr. Andre Cirino, OFM and Josef Raischl, OFSThe Franciscan Intellectual Tradition arose in the ferment of ideas of the 13th and 14th centuries. Questions of what makes an individual, what system of government is best for society, how should the economy be managed, what is the role of experiment in science, property rights and the rights of the individual in society - in short many of the questions that trouble our modern world - were debated with insight, integrity and passion in the context of a theology that was both profoundly orthodox and radical. The Franciscan Intellectual Tradition is not a monolith with a single answer to any problem, but a tradition of enquiry and openness rooted in the insights of the Poor Man of Assisi and his followers in Northern Europe. In the intellectual pilgrimage of this book we find a variety of approaches engendered by that spirit of enquiry and a tradition with the diversity and strength to continue to enlighten our pilgrimage through life today.

An Affair of the Heart
"Biblical themes are explored from a Franciscan perspective and it is this vision that gives originality and freshness to familiar concepts with relevance that is timely for twenty-first century needs and aspirations."--BOOK JACKET.
The Breath of God
The Holy Spirit is in a way the most mysterious of the three "names" of God. For many it is the "unknown God" (Acts 17:23). How can a "Spirit" be love? How can it be a person? What role can a "Spirit" have in the trinitarian relations? In The Breath of God, Veto argues that a more exact comprehension of the third divine person can be reached by considering the way it acts in the economy of salvation and how it reveals itself in its scriptural names: Ruah and Pneuma, breath or wind. Just as, in the eternal life of God, the Father and the Son are precisely what their names designate, likewise, the Holy Spirit is the Breath of God. The procession of the Spirit is the "breathing out" of the Father into the Son, the communication of one intimacy into another, and the "breathing" back of the Son into the Father. This leads to reshaping many aspects of trinitarian theology, in particular divine personhood. It is also fruitful for the believer's life of prayer because it offers a better understanding of the distinct relationship one can have to Father, Son, and Spirit.

Light In All Darkness
Curator's Statement Light in All Darkness: Images and Icons by William Hart McNichols is an exhibition brimming with inspiring icons, figures and people from diverse backgrounds. You will see icons of Kateri Tekakwitha "The Lily of the Mohawks," St. Rose of Lima, Patroness of the Americas, and even Princess Diana. The real "light in all darkness" of this exhibition is Father Bill himself. It has been an honor to work with him on the exhibition and catalog, sometimes daily, making a careful selection of the images and icons you will see in this exhibit. We were very thoughtful in selecting the images to bring hope and light to those in a time of darkness. The timeliness of this exhibit has made it even more impactful.
