Saint Francis of Assisi
However interesting and important the stories by his contemporaries are, there is no better place to discover the most profound inspiration of Saint Francis of Assisi than in his own writings. These prayers, poems, proverbs, rules and letters are a gold-mine for those who wish to delve into his thoroughly biblical spirituality. He reveals himself in them as being someone who was permanently touched and marked by his encounter with Christ. In brief: the seeker of God who considered his fellow-creatures as his brothers and sisters; someone who even these days still exerts an unequalled magnetism due to his radical following of Christ. However this does not mean that his biblically inspired rad...
Light Shining Through a Veil
The spirituality of Saint Clare of Assisi, the soul mate of Saint Francis, is the object of this book. Her spirituality was inspired by Francis' and she owes much to him, like he to her. This book is meant to be a contribution to the study of Clare and her thoughts. In her four letters, written to Saint Agnes of Prague, Clare expresses herself more openly about her deepest motivations than in any other writing. They concentrate on the heart of her choice of life and as such they reproduce the most beautiful gift which God gave her. Clare's sprituality as it comes to the fore in these leters, can only then be fully understood when we take into account their creative structure. The specific aim of this books is to do justice to her texts in a method which, to our knowledge, was never applied before. It consists in an elaborated analysis of the fine, concentric structure of the letters to Agnes, combined with an ongoing commentary in which historical data are also given attention.
Eucharistic Adoration after Vatican II
There were radical changes in the Order of Mass promulgated by Pope Paul VI in 1969. Beyond the use of the vernacular, these included a more dialogic format of the Mass, the transformation of the offertory rite to a preparation of gifts, a complete revision of the lectionary, new eucharistic prayers, and communion under both forms. In Eucharistic Adoration after Vatican II, Edward Foley examines the relationship between Vatican II, liturgical prayer, and contemporary eucharistic adoration and devotions.
A Companion to Clare of Assisi
Clare of Assisi: Life, Writings and Spirituality examines Clare not merely as an obedient footnote to the friars, but as a Franciscan founder in her own right who kept primitive Franciscan ideals alive into the middle of the thirteenth century and transposed them into a woman’s key. Bringing together the best of international research, the text examines Clare’s importance within the early Franciscan milieu and her contribution to the thirteenth-century women's movement. It studies the radicalism of Clare's Franciscan choice, her life within the Monastery of San Damiano, her politicking with Agnes of Prague for the "privilege of poverty," and her uniqueness among other women in Gregory IX's Damianite ordo. Following this historical study are critical translations and literary analyses of Clare's four letters to Agnes of Prague as well as a new translation and commentary on Clare’s Forma Vitae.

Klara von Assisi. Mystik im Alltag
Lebensregeln entstehen meist aus einer gelebten Spiritualität des alltäglichen Lebens. Diese Texte sind häufig so menschlich, dass sie zu jeder Zeit die Erfahrungswelt von Menschen berühren können, die auf der Suche nach Sinngebung ihres Lebens sind. Es geht um Lebensweisheit, die auf eine tiefe Sehnsucht nach Sinnerfüllung in unserem konkreten Alltagsleben antwortet. In ihren letzten Lebensjahren schrieb Klara von Assisi (1193-1253) eine Lebensform für ihre Schwestern, deren innerster Kern die Nachfolge der Armut Jesu Christi ist. Die niederländische Klarisse Edith van den Goorbergh sieht in dieser Lebensform eine Bedeutung für unser Leben heute und hört in ihr kritische Töne im Blick auf unsere heutige Auffassung von einem glücklichen Leben: Klaras Lebensform zeigt, dass die Begrenzungen unseres Daseins Wege öffnen können zum gegenseitigen Engagement und Aufbau von Gemeinschaft. Vor allem lesen wir darin, dass Einfachheit und Schlichtheit des Lebens uns befreien können von so Manchem, was unser Wachstum zu spiritueller Reife hemmt.
