I find in this book a carefully laid out, step-by-step catechesis on fundamental Christian virtues with corresponding biblical passages for support. There is no doubt that all our acts of piety and all established Christian action find their ultimate source in the scripture. The very remarkable thing about this little publication is the easy and effortless way in which the author draws out from the wealth of scripture sources for this age-old list of pious deeds known by their common name of corporal and spiritual works of mercy, understood as one of the indelible mark of Christs disciples. The age-old teaching of the church is here given with every simplicity in presentation and lucidity of...
I have read the Rev. Anthony Mbanefo's work entitled Seven Words of Jesus on the Cross, and I found it to be well-written and beneficial to Catholics worldwide, seeking to have a deep meditation on the meaning of our Lord's passion. I want to encourage pastoral agents to read the book and to promote its reading. Rev. Dr. Jorge R. Colón, STD, Ph D, D Div This book is a reliable companion to Christians who want to explore the hidden treasure of the life, suffering and death of Jesus Christ. Fr Mbanefo's reflection helps readers to understand the mystery of suffering in a very profound and realistic way. The exposition is a call to authentic discipleship rooted in a true love of Jesus Christ and faith in the power of his cross. I recommend this book to all those who want to grow in intimacy with Jesus Christ and to respond properly to the day to day challenges of life. +The Most Reverend J. Kevin Boland Bishop Emeritus of Savannah

MacIntyre is greatly discontented with the nature of contemporary morality, which according to him has a form, i.e. what appears like morality, but lacks essential content. He argues that the most common feature of contemporary ethical discourse is that much of it is used to express individual preferences, which leads to disagreements among philosophers, and eventually results in debates that are interminable in character. MacIntyre attributes the cause of this situation to the activities of the enlightenment philosophers of the 17th and 18th centuries who, in an attempt to find rational justification for morality repudiated those essential elements that define the essence of morality and gi...
