The history of Fenway Park, in its Voices' words
Celebrating Compassion: A Liberating Spirituality of Forgiving respectfully zeros in on those touchy, sensitive questions confronting us if we've ever been seriously offended and find it difficult to let go and to forgive. Without doubt, the difficult passage to such compassion needs to be couched in solid inviting spirituality. At the same time, for those who genuinely long for mercy but are summarily disregarded, this book equally offers a stanch and supportive catechesis. Gerard Martin writes a compelling, easy to read book on the spiritual gift we all have, that some of us find difficult to give to another, the gift of forgiveness. This is a must-read book if one is struggling with hurts and memories that are affecting their lives. Truly an inspirational and liberating guide that you want to read over and over again. ""Colette Frederick Your book is very good to me because it causes me 'to dig and delve.' In my opinion it is not merely for reading. It calls for reflection and meditation helping us to a better understanding with God. There are 'zingers' on virtually every page. ""John Feit I'm on the second time around on your book and gaining more insights as I go. ""John Feit In Celebrating Compassion, Gerard Martin examines sorrow and forgiveness from every angle, asking all the right questions and probing more deeply into what forgiveness involves than we would usually consider. ""Kay Taylor The author is a pilgrim like anyone else. Knowing the need of compassion, still, he realizes it isn't always easy to forgive another. Unpacked from within the mercy challenge itself, the themes of this book are reflections rising out of extensive, personal inner work, as well as interaction with others. Hopefully, the text speaks for itself.
Have you taken time lately to consciously taste of God's mercy? This can be difficult, because in order to seek God's mercy we must admit that we need it-and we don't like to admit that we need anything, much less forgiveness! But exposing the specifics of our struggles with sin regularly points us back to the good news of the gospel and our forgiveness through God's grace, it leads to celebration! A helpful addition to the previous collection Prone to Wander, Streams of Mercy provides prayers that confess specific sins in response to scriptural calls to confession and then close with an assurance of our pardon in Christ. Inspired by the Puritan classic The Volley of Vision, these prayers are ideal for use in church services or personal devotions. Book jacket.
Every porcine wonder was once a piglet! Celebrate the joy of a new arrival with this endearing picture-book prequel to the New York Times best-selling Mercy Watson series. Mr. Watson and Mrs. Watson live ordinary lives. Sometimes their lives feel a bit too ordinary. Sometimes they wish something different would happen. And one day it does, when someone unpredictable finds her way to their front door. In a delightful origin story for the star of the Mercy Watson series, a tiny piglet brings love (and chaos) to Deckawoo Drive — and the Watsons’ lives will never be the same.
"This book has done me so much good." —Pope Francis From one the leading intellects in the church today—one whom Pope Francis has described as a "superb theologian"—comes perhaps his most important book yet. Available for the first time in English, Cardinal Kasper looks to capture the essence of the gospel message. Compassionate, bold, and brilliant, Cardinal Kasper has written a book which will be studied for generations.
Father McBride extends to all an earnest invitation to know and love the Mass more deeply. The Catechism calls the Eucharist "the heart and summit of the Church's life" (1407). Certainly we are called to participate as fully and enthusiastically as possible. Along with the official texts of the Ordinary of the Mass are Father McBride's enlightening explanations. Also included are: The scriptural and historical background of the Last Supper. The tremendous significance of the Eucharist and what really happens. All four Eucharistic prayers, how they differ in focus and what elements remain the same. The liturgical sights and sounds, altar vessels, furnishings, and vestments. An ideal prayer companion, Celebrating the Mass is a convenient guide for all who seek a better understanding of this, our most sacred banquet and to celebrate more profoundly the great mystery of love we call the Mass.
When Jesus asked us to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, and visit the imprisoned, he didn’t mean it literally, right? Kerry Weber, a modern, young, single woman in New York City sets out to see if she can practice the Corporal Works of Mercy in an authentic, personal, meaningful manner while maintaining a full, robust, regular life. Weber, a lay Catholic, explores the Works of Mercy in the real world, with a gut-level honesty and transparency that people of urban, country, and suburban locales alike can relate to. Mercy in the City is for anyone who is struggling to live in a meaningful, merciful way amid the pressures of “real life.” For those who feel they are already overscheduled and too busy, for those who assume that they are not “religious enough” to practice the Works of Mercy, for those who worry that they are alone in their efforts to live an authentic life, Mercy in the City proves that by living as people for others, we learn to connect as people of faith.
In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the encounter of the penitent with the mercy of God is one of the most transforming moments in the spiritual life of a Catholic. The ritual itself has changed throughout history, but the purpose of the sacrament has remained the same: to seek the forgiveness of the Lord and to renew one’s efforts to live as a faithful and loving disciple of Jesus Christ. This resource provides pastoral insights for celebrating individual confession, communal Reconciliation services, and non-sacramental penance services with attention given to liturgical ministries, liturgical environment, and evangelization
