En esta obra, Monseñor Juan Guillermo Durán nos ofrece la ocasión de sumergirnos en el corazón y la vida de un hombre consagrado a María de Luján, ver sus sueños y proyectos, sus desvelos, el asombro y el entusiasmo de los fieles en el crecimiento del nuevo Santuario y la profunda devoción a la "Virgen Gaucha" que trasciende las fronteras de nuestra Patria. Quedará así ante nuestros ojos el intrépido misionero, el gran historiador de la Virgen de Luján, el difusor de su culto y el iniciador de la construcción de la majestuosa Basílica de Luján, gran centro espiritual de la Argentina, comparado ya por aquellos años con el Santuario de Lourdes en Francia. A través de estas páginas, el Padre Salvaire se hará mucho más cercano y cálido para los devotos de la Virgen de Luján. Será debidamente valorado y acompañará la buena marcha de la petición presentada a la Congregación de los Santos para el proceso de su beatificación.
THE SUBTITLE OF THIS VOLUME is “An Era of Expansion, (1878–1919).” It reflects the reality of the Congregation of the Mission under the leadership of Antoine Fiat, the superior general who governed the Community longer than St. Vincent de Paul. Like the founder, Fiat was a man of both prayer and action. Also like the founder, Fiat was often hesitant and delayed final decisions. His confreres spread to new missions, such as the republics of Central America and Argentina, and several missions or provinces had grown large enough to be given more autonomy, such as the two American provinces, the Antilles, Barcelona, Ecuador, Belgium and Holland, Madagascar, and Colombia. China continued to...
This volume examines the changing role of Marian devotion in politics, public life, and popular culture in Western Europe and America during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The book brings together, for the first time, studies on Marian devotions across the Atlantic, tracing their role as a rallying point to fight secularization, adversarial ideologies, and rival religions. This transnational approach illuminates the deep transformations of devotional cultures across the world. Catholics adopted modern means and new types of religious expression to foster mass devotions that epitomized the catholic essence of the “nation.” In many ways, the development of Marian devotions across the world is also a response to the questioning of Pope Sovereignty. These devotional transformations followed an Ultramontane pattern inspired not only by Rome but also by other successful models approved by the Vatican such as Lourdes. Collectively, they shed new light on the process of globalization and centralization of Catholicism.
“María de Luján, El misterio de la mujer que espera”, es una obra que ha sido escrita “para pagar de alguna manera tantas deudas”. Así comienza el autor esta obra empapada de tierna devoción y reverencia a la Santísima Virgen de Luján en la que cada página nos descubre un repliegue de la majestuosidad, prodigios y bienaventuranza de la imagen de la Pura y Limpia Concepción que quiso quedarse a orillas del río Luján. El Rev. Padre Carlos Miguel Buela, IVE sostiene que “María de Luján” enciende “la luz de la esperanza” a todos aquellos que se ponen bajo su maternal protección. De esta manera la Virgen de Luján extiende su amparo más allá del pueblo argentino y s...

Gothic style and contemporary architecture worldwide Although largely overlooked in studies of architectural history, church architecture in a Gothic idiom outlived its 19th century momentum to persist worldwide throughout the 20th century and into the new millennium. Global Gothic presents a first systematic worldwide understanding of "Gothic" in contemporary architecture, both as a distinct variation and as a competitor to recognized modern styles. The book’s chapters critically discuss Gothic’s various manifestations over the past century, describing and illustrating approaches from Gothic Revival living traditions in the former British Empire and original Gothic appropriation in Lati...
