Blanca is the ideal place for the slow movement, to enjoy the charm of its landscapes and to relax and live better. One cannot hurry the act of creation. Maybe this is a reason that we find in this village so many painters. They all need pace, slowness, silence to be creative and productive. I came from Holland, 40 years ago, and hated in that country the long queues of cars, the great haste of the people. During my travels to many foreign countries as a result of international business I came to the conclusion that there for me are only two places to live well: Haiwai and Blanca. This book has been written for you in ten lenguages: English, German, Dutch, Italian, French, Swedish, Russian, Arabic, Japonese and Chinese.

Waarom heeft de ene Nederlander succes in Spanje en moet de ander op hangende pootjes weer terugkeren? Een feit is het dat dergelijke dingen men niet op de Universiteit leert, doch wel met het dammen. Met het dammen en schaken leert men denken. Maar kan iedereen wel denken? Waarschijnlijk niet, want Henry Ford zei daarover: "Denken is het zwaarste werk dat er is, wat waarschijnlijk de reden is waarom zo weinigen zich ermee bezighouden." Alhoewel ik van een profesionale dammersloopbaan al vroeg heb afgezien, moet het me wel van het hart dat voor mij het zakenleven altijd dammen was. Die prestatiedrang opgedaan bij het dammen heeft me enorm veel geholpen bij het zakenleven. De bedoeling van dit boek is de mensen duidelijk te maken dat het dammen een zeer gunstige invloed heeft op het mentale karakter van de toekomstige zakenman.
Christ Our Passover Has Been Sacrificed examines the paschal mystery as it is presented throughout the liturgical year in The Roman Missal. After offering an in-depth definition of the paschal mystery the author guides the reader through Lent, Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost, and more, mining the riches of paschal mystery spirituality. Biblical accounts interpret the death and resurrection of Jesus; liturgical texts in The Roman Missal present a rich seam of spiritual truth for the reader to apply to his or her life. By remembering Jesus’ death and resurrection, Roman Catholics celebrate daily dying and rising to new life. The author serves as a guide through paschal mystery spirituality, while also noting the mystical theology—reflections on experiences of God—represented by the prayers in The Roman Missal, particularly those dealing with Jesus’ suffering, death, resurrection, ascension, and gift of the Spirit. Through reflections and meditation questions, readers are invited to name their own personally transforming mystical experiences, which connect them to God in deep levels and move them outward into the community to share spirituality.
Preaching to the Hungers of the Heart is about words, most particularly, it is a book about the Word, the living Word of God, found in the Scriptures, and embodied once and for all in the person of Jesus, the Word made flesh. In Preaching to the Hungers of the Heart Fr. James Wallace offers a nuanced consideration of the homily as nourishment. He focuses on three common liturgical contexts: feasts of the Lord, feasts of Mary and the saints, and the sacramental rites. He relates the preaching that occurs within each area to one of the heart's basic hungers: for wholeness (the great feasts of the Lord), for guidance (feasts of Mary and the saints), and for meaning (various rites). He also addr...
The author defines faithjustice as “a passionate virtue which disposes citizens to become involved in the greater and lesser societies around themselves in order to create communities where human dignity is protected and enhanced, the gifts of creation are shared for the common good, and the poor are treated with respect and a special love.” He says it is in the end “a habit of the believing heart.” Against the backdrop of the author’s explicit experiences as a southerner, lawyer, priest, and Jesuit, this book expounds on the meaning of faithjustice, starting with the biblical grounding. It then traverses the full breadth of historical developments in the Catholic Christian communi...
Each station begins with a reflection (Our Way) from ordinary life. Brief reflection sections (Reflect) invite the reader to stop, muse and apply before moving on. The second half of each chapter (The Way of Jesus) is an imaginative meditation on the station. Quotations from the Scriptures lead the reader into deeper or different meditations on the theme. The Reflection Questions are followed by Prayers of Action.
