With these words Fr. Vincent Nagle introduces his readers to his work in the hospital where he has served for years as chaplain. Trite phrases just don't cut it when families are confronted by the mystery of suffering.

I don't want to give them false comfort, but real hope." Brief and intense fragments of hospital life are alternated with the fascinating story of Fr. Vincent's own journey to faith and the priesthood.

A significant introduction by Luigi Giussani, founder of the Catholic lay ecclesial movement of Communion and Liberation, helps the reader to be drawn more deeply into the drama of the play and to find described there the drama which faces each of us.

This second love brings the redemption of the world and the self." This is the claim, the proposal of the play The Tidings Brought to Mary. After nearly a hundred years, as we watch this Infinite Love generate the play's heroic characters, we find ourselves begging in More... |

He closes with three chapters on hot-button issues (virginity, women, mission) which he treats on the basis of the preceding reflections. With a preface by Mons. Brugues, secretary of the Vatican Congregation for Catholic Education. |

In their hands rests the American dream, economic progress, social stability, and world peace.”According to Dr. Rodelgo, we are living a crisis that is much more than just economic, political, or social; it is a human crisis.

The issue at hand is finding the appropriate method of education. In this country, many educational reforms have been implemented in the last hundred years, but these reforms More... |

Title: Rediscovered Face of Jesus Author: Meeting of Rimini ISBN: 978-09823561 Price: 30.00 Publisher: Human Adventure Books Publication Date: 12/13/2013 Format: Paperback Pages: 120 Description: There is a long and sacred history of venerating the holy images of our Lord, Jesus Christ. At Christmas time, we in- cense the Holy Infant in the manger and re- call his humility and love. During Lent we walk with devotion through the Stations of the Cross, tracing the steps that lead to our salvation. And on Easter morning we stand before the empty tomb, filled with awe in the presence of the Angels at the wondrous works that God has done. Images of Christ have the power to move our hearts, they can catechize without words and allow us to contemplate the beautiful face of God revealed in His own Son. - Cardinal Sean O'Malley, From the Introduction |

Title: The Silence of Mary Author: Ignacio Larranaga (Author), Villecco David (Translator) ISBN: 978-19414570 Price: 14.99 Publisher: Human Adventure Books Publication Date: September 1, 2015 Format: Paperback Description: Among the sixteen books written by the gifted Capuchin priest Ignacio Larran aga (1928-2013), The Silence of Mary is the best sold, printed in forty editions and twelve languages.

Oscar Vladislas de Milosz was born in Lithuania in 1877 and died at Fontainebleau, Paris in 1939. He is the author of many works but is little known in the English-speaking world. He wrote drama, poetry, and prose. He treated subjects including philosophy, politics, archeology and biblical exegesis. |
