To be a "Christ" is the whole meaning of Christianity. To radiate "Christ" is the whole meaning of the Christian Apostolate. But to be a "Christ" for one's own personal benefit is not enough; we have to Christianize those around us; in a word, we have to radiate "Christ." There are so many holy people that have radiated Christ in our times, but none as powerfully and effectively as Pope John Paul II and Mother Theresa of Calcutta. May we be granted the gift to radiate "Christ." This beautiful book lays a foundation to help us to radiate and Christianize our fellow man, especially in these times of decadence and non-believing Christians.
Inspired writing by a gifted new Author. This story shows us the gifts given to Simon through the carrying of the Cross with Jesus, and the gifts we can expect by carrying our daily crosses. The nail -- Mother Mary's first gift to Simon of Cyrene. had held the weight of her Son on the wooden cross. Simon had come to Jerusalem to visit friends, instead he began a life's journey to know and speak to all whoever had met this man, Jesus. Simon's repugnance for executions became a climb of compassion and deep reverence as he carried the prisoner's cross. He even seemed to be drawn to Jesus so much that heart spoke to heart. Throughout the journal we observe Simon of Cyrene's transformation into the very heart of Jesus. No where is this so evident than when Fabian, the jailer, beholds Simon of Cyrene the martyr, illumined in a pillar of blazing light. Book jacket.
Fiction. Taxi driver James Bailey flees the ruin and emptiness of his life by heading off to Fargo. Although he never gets there, he does find out that the grace he had imagined in far-out places has been tagging along with him all the time. In Bailey, author Craig enacts, in a rollicking manner, Josef Pieper's idea of man as Status Viatoris (being-on-the-way) and shows that a ministry can be found driving a taxi. Craig skillfully shows how grace turns up in the strangest places, and, in a manner worthy of Fitzgerald, magically evokes the graced land which is America and her people.
In the midst of his old age and illness, John prayed to the Blessed Virgin asking her to send someone to comfort him while he approached his death. His prayers were answered in the form of a Hospice nurse who walked with him in his last steps towards eternity. The reader is window-looking into the soul of a man about to die; unfettered by the terrors of the unbeliever, comforted in the peace and nobility of a man redeemed by Christ. This book is a collection of daily reflections and meditations to help our lives become a living prayer.
Lost in the World, Found in Christ is an account of how a merciful God brought me from boyhood, in exile from His Loving Presence, to the joy of being a priest in the Roman Catholic Church--at age 63. My objective is to inspire other older men to consider the priesthood, no matter what lies in their past lives and no matter how hard the struggle. This is a wonderful book for anyone discerning a late vocation.
Dr. Richard Geraghty, a philosophy professor and a seasoned expert on Plato, has written The Right Way to Live to make Plato's philosophical dialogues accessible to college aged students who, too often, do not have a solid understanding of Catholic moral principles. He takes the student by one hand and Plato by the other and shows how the truths of the old sage are both delightfully and challengingly perennial.
