Download or read book Act of Contrition written by Janice Holt Giles and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Act of Contrition focuses on the intimate relationship between Regina, a widow, and Michael, a young doctor whose wife left him for another man. Having found happiness in one another, they desire nothing more than to be together. Yet in the eyes of the Catholic Church, Michael is not free to divorce his wife and marry Regina. In an emotional climax Regina must decide if she loves Michael enough to give him up or if she'll force him to choose between her and God. By modern standards, Giles's love scenes are tasteful, and the general atmosphere of ecumenism within today's Catholic Church renders moot many of the tensions in the novel. Yet in 1957 Giles's agent and publisher feared the work would cause "irreparable harm" to her reputation. As late as 1972 Giles was revising in the hopes of seeing the novel published. Finally her wish is fulfilled. Janice Holt Giles (1905-1979), author of nineteen books, lived and wrote near Knifley, Kentucky, for thirty-four years. Her biography is Janice Holt Giles: A Writer's Life.

Download or read book The Golden Key to Paradise Perfect Contrition written by J. D. Driesch and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This little book is as valuable as lengthy treatises,as much for the sovereign importance of thesubject that it discusses (a subject, sadly, very littleknown by most Christians) as for the abundance ofdoctrines and the interest of its practical applications."The Great Means of Salvation," such is thetitle that St. Alphonsus de' Liguori gave to a tract onprayer published with many other works from hispen. And so great was his confidence in the efficacyand the power of prayer to assure the salvation ofsouls, that he would have wished, said he, to see hislittle book in the hands of everyone. About the exerciseof the love of God and of perfect contrition,we can say, with just as much truth, that they are "thegreat means of salvation," because between an act ofcharity or perfect contrition and the acquisition ofeternal life, the connection is more intimate and evencloser than between prayer and salvation.Consequently, I would like to see this little work,like St. Alphonsus' own, in the hands of everyone,convinced as I am that the careful reading of it andputting into practice its teachings would open thegates of heaven to a multitude of souls in danger ofeternal damnation without it, and it would increase,in a marvelous way, the grace of God in those whohave been faithful since their baptism.Every Christian ought to be soundly instructedabout the capital importance of the act of perfectcontrition and of charity on account of the inestimableservices that such knowledge can render usat the hour of our death and allow us to render atthe deathbed of a dying person, to whom Providencemight lead us. No one, even in good heath, shouldforget this truth. But it is desirable overall that everyonecherish it deeply engraved in his heart for thehours of infirmity and the perils of death.May it please God that this pamphlet be distributedas far and wide as possible. There is no doubt thatits reading will be accompanied by abundant blessings.--Father Augustine Lehmkuhl, S.J.

Book excerpt: The women in Acts of Contrition face society's devaluation, from parents, from elders, from all who assume authority over them. They battle oppressions as simple as gender stereotyping, as complex as prerequisites to friendship or love. Some can look back and laugh, some find luck in their escape from harm, some engineer their own good fortune, all the while riding a wave of dark humor. What all the characters come to understand is that silence places them at greater risk than speaking out. They progress toward freedom through the telling of their stories.

Admiral Kathryn Janeway has now taken command of the Full Circle Fleet. Her first mission: return to the Delta Quadrant and open diplomatic relations with the Confederacy of the Worlds of the First Quadrant, a civilization whose power rivals that of the Federation. Captain Chakotay knows that his choices could derail the potential alliance. While grateful to the Confederacy Interstellar Fleet for rescuing the Federation starships from an alien armada, Voyager’s captain cannot forget the horrors upon which the Confederacy was founded. More troubling, it appears that several of Voyager’s old adversaries have formed a separate and unlikely pact that is determined to bring down the Confederacy at all costs. Sins of the past haunt the crew members of the Full Circle Fleet as they attempt to chart a course for the future. Will they learn much too late that some sins can never be forgiven…or forgotten? ™, ®, & © 2014 CBS Studios, Inc. STAR TREK and related marks are trademarks of CBS Studios, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Book excerpt: Imagine a high-strung, comfort loving hitwoman at a rustic spiritual retreat. Things are finally looking up for Maggie Lee. Her almost-lover Patrick is taking steps (albeit deadly ones) to insure they’ll have a future together, her niece Katie is about to be released from the hospital, her sister Marlene has stopped turning tricks and started tossing pizzas, and Maggie has a chance to land a new (legal) job. If only God would stop hounding her to apologize to her mother, Maggie would be pretty close to content with her life. When Maggie agrees to take out a new target, using a spiritual retreat as her cover story, she ends up with a spoon (long story), an odd, selectively mute roommate, and a chance to save a life. As Maggie struggles to balance all the important people in her life and deliver on the deadly contract, she begins to believe that God may be right about the act of contrition he’s demanded…but will she live long enough to do it?
