Open Wide the Door to Christ
Author: SÅ‚awomir Biela
Publisher: In the Arms of Mary
ISBN: 9780972143271
Category : Christian life
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"S.C. Biela reassures the reader that there is a specific spiritual path that leads to a time when Christ will no longer have to knock persistently on the door of our hearts because our interiors will be fully open to Him. Biela demonstrates how the 'key' of spiritual poverty will unlock the door through our imitation and the intercession of Mary, the lowly handmaid of God. Then, there will no longer be two, but One, otherwise known as the transforming union described by two Doctors of the Church, St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. When transforming union happens, we will not be able to live without the Divine Light of Love. This Light will embrace us and transform us in Itself, where we will find true life."--

Think and Believe
Author: Frederick W. Marks
Publisher: Emmaus Road Publishing
ISBN: 9781937155377
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
A coherent, forceful, and compelling case for God and the Church founded by Jesus of Nazareth. This is a remarkable achievement of solid, factual, information that is loaded with ammunition for the new evangelization. Contains colorful vignettes of historic moments alternating with sustained argument. Marks challenges the reader to set aside long-held assumptions and prejudices. Jesus is the only one who proclaimed himself sinless and the only one who ever claimed to be God. His followers converted an entire empire without resort to violence, and after winning Rome they not only gave the world its calendar but transformed pagan culture beyond recognition. These hard, cold facts are presented here with copious notes for easy identification of persons, events, or doctrines that may be unfamiliar. The reader will also find a detailed index and useful appendices.

These reflections introduce and offer samples of theological readings of a variety of books.

What Do You Seek?
Author: Edward Sri
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1955305811
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
The Good News of Jesus Christ is known as the kerygma, based on the Greek word kerysso, meaning "to herald" or "to proclaim". It is the core message of Christ that each of the Apostles, the original heralds of the Gospel, proclaimed to the world. It is Christ's answer to his own penetrating question, "What do you seek?" This is why the Catholic Church emphasizes the importance of what it calls the "First Proclamation": the core Gospel of God's love and the person and mission of Jesus Christ, which ideally we surrender ourselves to, so that a more in-depth, systematic presentation of the Faith can take deeper root in our soul. Unfortunately, many Catholics today might know facts about Jesus and the Gospel, but they do not know him and this story of his love in a way that shapes their entire lives. How about you? In What Do You Seek?, Scripture scholar Dr. Edward Sri helps us enter more deeply into the Gospel, to ponder the mysteries of God's love for us and his work of salvation, so that we can be transformed, and join in Christ's work of saving the world.
