Monsignor Francis Meehan Seeking the Face of God
In all of these insights, I realize more and more, that there is a certain need I have to know Jesus better, and to love Him. For this reason, I am asking for the grace of the Lord to Show me His Face. That image of coming to know the Face of Jesus has caught me. (First paragraph of chapter one.) These words serve as the basis of Father Meehans life, prayer, and fifty years of ministry in the priesthood, and are the underlying theme of this book of reflections. For over fifty years, he wrote down reflections on prayer, the saints, Christian ministry, the Church, and moral theology issues, especially abortion and peace and justice issues, seeking Gods Face, and His truth and love, in all of these areas. Finally, on facing his death during the last year of his life, he reflected: How much more should I review spiritual things such as praying more often more generous time given to the Lord. So now I offer in the Holy Spirit a prayer of openness to Gods Will, whenever God calls. Main point: With the Lords grace, I need to commend my spirit to the Lord more and more. (Last chapter.) By sharing with us over fifty years of seeking the face of God, Father Meehan leads us to see the Lord.
Edgewater
It is not enough to say that Edgewater is unique. Nestled on a strip of land between the Hudson River and the base of the Palisades, Edgewater is an anomaly; its geography has made it all but an island with only four roads connecting it to the contiguous municipalities. With stunning photographs, Edgewater follows the development of the community from a day-trip vacation destination for residents of nearby Manhattan, through its industrial years of the early 1900s, to its rebirth as a residential suburb.

General Principles of Sacramental Theology
General Principles of Sacramental Theology addresses a current lacuna in English language theological literature. Bernard Leeming’s highly respected book Principles of Sacramental Theology was published more than sixty years ago. Since that time, there has been a noted decrease, especially in English language sacramental theology, in treatments of the basic topics and principles – such as the nature of the sacraments of signs, sacramental grace, sacramental character, sacramental causality, sacramental intention, the necessity and number of the sacraments, sacramental matter and form, inter alia – which apply to all of the sacraments. This book will be of use in seminary, graduate, and undergraduate courses. The sacraments play an irreplaceable role in pursuing a Universal Call to Holiness that is so central to Vatican II’s teaching.
Founding Father
In Founding Father, Michael F. Lombardo provides the first critical biography of John J. Wynne, S.J. (1859-1948). One of the most prominent American Catholic intellectuals of the early twentieth century, Wynne was founding editor of the Catholic Encyclopedia (1907) and the Jesuit periodical America (1909), and served as vice-postulator for the canonization causes of the first American saints (the Jesuit Martyrs of North America) and Kateri Tekakwitha. Lombardo uses theological inculturation to explore the ways in which Wynne used his publications to negotiate American Catholic citizenship during the Progressive Era. He concludes that Wynne’s legacy was part of a flowering of early-twentieth century American Catholic intellectual thought that made him a key forerunner to the mid-century Catholic Revival.
The Architecture of Suspense
The inimitable, haunting films of Alfred Hitchcock took place in settings, both exterior and interior, that deeply impacted our experiences of his most unforgettable works. From the enclosed spaces of Rope and Rear Window to the wide-open expanses of North by Northwest, the physical worlds inhabited by desperate characters are a crucial element in our perception of the Hitchcockian universe. As Christine Madrid French reveals in this original and indispensable book, Hitchcock’s relation to the built world was informed by an intense engagement with location and architectural form—in an era marked by modernism’s advance—fueled by some of the most creative midcentury designers in film. ...
