With Glory and Honor You Crowned Them
For well over 1,000 years while celebrating the Mass, priests have intoned the names of seven female martyrs of the early Church: Felicity, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, and Anastasia. These young women chose to defy the authority of the Roman Empire and be put to death rather than compromise their faith. Far from stamping out the Church, the Empire's actions sowed the seeds of her growth. This work is not just a historical and artistic survey of these martyrs, but an offering given in gratitude to the example they set for all who must live in difficult times. Though evil may abound, these saints show that the power of grace and fidelity will always have the final word.
Lazarus Speaks
Homeless persons tell their stories of loss, hope, and how they survive in the city of Biloxi, Mississippi. Devastated by Hurricane Katrina, Biloxi has a large homeless population but no shelter. Living in the woods, sleeping in cars, or squatting in buildings, these thirteen homeless men and women struggle to retain their dignity and their will to push forward to a better future. This volume draws upon the story of the homeless Lazarus of St. Luke's gospel. Lazarus suffered and died in silence. Though he speaks no word in the Gospel, Lazarus finds a voice here.
Like a Dove in the Cleft of the Rock
According to a French tradition, St. Mary Magdalene spent the final decades of her life in reclusion and prayer. Alone in a mountain grotto, she pondered on all that had happened since she first met her Beloved. She knew that Jesus called her to the deepest union with his heart, and she poured all her efforts into seeking this union. God created every soul for the very same union, the very same intimacy. In this work the Song of Songs, the life of Mary Magdalene, and the writings of mystics intertwine to show how seeking, finding, and loving the heart of God brings true joy. In its chapters, we are led from the overwhelming awe of God on Mount Sinai to the tender meeting of the Risen Christ and Mary Magdalene in Gethsemane; from the toil of conversion to the rest after the struggle. Let us now join St. Mary Magdalene on her search for the Beloved.
