«Il silenzio del deserto non l’ho vissuto come un vuoto spaventoso. No. Quel silenzio era pieno della presenza più solida e inamovibile che sta a fondamento della terra». Con queste parole Johannes Maria Schwarz descrive nelle prime pagine del suo racconto l’esperienza nel deserto del Neghev da cui è nata la sua scelta di vita eremitica. Dopo una gioventù vagabonda fra l’Europa e l’Australia, da artista di strada con la passione per la fotografia e i documentari, viene folgorato ad Assisi. Si riavvicina al cristianesimo e decide di farsi prete dopo il Cammino di Santiago percorso a piedi senza zaino e senza soldi. Oggi don Johannes trascorre metà dell’anno nei boschi del Mont...

This ambitious book examines Saint Oscar Romero's words to understand how his thoughts fit into the broader context of Catholic theology. On March 24, 1980, Archbishop Óscar Romero was assassinated as he celebrated mass in El Salvador. He was canonized as a saint by Pope Francis on October 14, 2018.

Dorothy Day connected radical faith with doing radical deeds. Beginning from her discovery of God in the Word when she was eight years old, Michael Boover shares Dorothy’s reflections about her pilgrimage to the daily discipline of readiness and openness to God in her life, especially to God in her neighbor. He shares her words on why and how she prays, on her preference for frequent confession, on her intentional choice of suffering and poverty, and on her desire to imitate the saints and to make sanctity the norm of everyone’s life. In these 15 days, we see how Dorothy’s discipline gave her true freedom. In particular, it allowed her to give priority to Love – to take the most direct route to God by loving her neighbor. She recognized “the paucity of her own best spiritual efforts and took refuge in the fact that God would do for believers what they could not fully do for themselves.” Boover’s practical exercises emulate Day’s own temperament. They push you to live with more integrity and deeper love, and they show a deep compassion for the difficulty of the challenge.
