Download or read book Between Heaven and Charing Cross written by Martin Warner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-02-26 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In What's Going on Inside, Martin Warner sets out to give an intellectual and spiritual account of the adventure of faith. With originality and courage, Warner has based this book on the vesting prayers used by the celebrant at the Eucharist. However, a scriptural metaphor best describes the book's contents. In Genesis, God promises to make Abraham's descendants as many as the stars in the night sky; this book recovers a vision of the stars for understanding the inheritance of that promise today. What goes on in our minds when we begin to think about prayer, worship and God? How do we identify what we mean by spirit? Warner explores the theme of what is shared and what is eternal and looks at the implications of the binding by God of God himself to humanity. Finally, friendship with God is seen as a foundation for understanding human dignity. In all this, the universal aspect of vesting prayers is applied - for we are all clothed in ressurrection bodies.

Download or read book Pastoral Sermons and Occasional Sermons written by Ronald Knox and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 1128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The highly esteemed Catholic convert, writer and apologist Ronald Knox, a master of the English language, was well regarded for his gifts both of writing and preaching. This volume combines both skills as it is a collection of his homilies on all the important themes of the spiritual and moral life, and on his favorite saints, men and women of history who were "inflamed with the love of Christ". In his always descriptive, profound and witty style, Knox covers a very wide variety of pastoral themes for Christian living and growth in spiritual perfection. Themes such as "The Fatherhood of God", "The Sermon on the Mount", "The Gifts of God", "The Triumph of Suffering", "The Divine Sacrifice", and dozens more. In his "occasional" sermons on saints and Christian heroes, he shows how these heroes of history struggled with many of the same spiritual battles that modern believers encounter daily, and overcame them with faith, courage, character and virtue. These are the shining witnesses of the truth and charity we all seek to emulate.

Download or read book Between Heaven and Charing Cross written by Jules Hillyar and published by Troubador Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story I have to tell is unusual even within its own genre. For instance if one accepts that The Seven were discarnate, having survived physical death, then they were certainly not recent arrivals trying to prove their case or report on the afterlife. Nor could they be called channelled teachers or guides. They were a group of young men who as part of their spiritual growth chose to rescue those trapped between their world and ours, and who needed the back-up of a team on earth. "You push and we'll pull!" neatly summarized it. Our recording of that work was intrinsic to their larger purpose. But intrinsic to us was our unique adventure with them as individuals, operating, one must add, through a reluctant medium: the cross-currents of relationship over issues that arose, the doubts and dilemmas, the merging of interests and clash of viewpoints, the multifarious portrait of different worlds thrown strangely together by their coming to a village house in Kent. Here is an epic portrayal of earthbound rescue, the extraordinary real-life adventure of a group working out of this world yet in Langton Green, with aspects such as reincarnation, the group-soul, otherworld knowledge, the spiritual path, even Eastern discipleship. It is also a call to those who have their compassionate part to play in the book's planned outcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Examining the specific contributions of Ren Latourelle, Avery Dulles, Salvatore Marsilli, and Gustave Martelet against a background of pre-conciliar ressourcement theology, this volume provides a comprehensive account of why a Trinitarian and Christological construal of liturgy and sacraments as revelation is key to the vision that informed Vatican II and offers constructive theological and ecclesial possibilities for the future.

Download or read book The Trembling of a Leaf written by William Somerset Maugham and published by Mondial. This book was released on 2008 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1916, William Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) travelled to the Pacific to research his novel "The Moon and Sixpence," based on the life of Paul Gauguin. This was the first of those journeys through the late-Imperial world of the 1920s and 1930s which were to establish Maugham forever in the popular imagination as the chronicler of the last days of colonialism in India, Southeast Asia, China and the Pacific, although the books on which this reputation rests represent only a fraction of his output.---Maugham reused elements of his Pacific diaries in "The Trembling of a Leaf" (1921), which contains one of his most recognized stories, "Rain," adapted to the stage by John Colton and Clemence Randolph in 1922.
