Download or read book Medjugorje the Secrets Revealed written by Gino Pitaro and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several years I had been planning to write a book about Medjugorje and the Secrets of Medjugorje, but I hesitated to do so. Usually when you have a strong urge to write you indulge, especially those who, like me until now, usually write fiction books like me, but I postponed, I wanted to address this topic and at the same time I was running away from it. One day Padre Pio appeared to me in a dream and told me " So, Guagliò, ? - Do we want to write this book or not?". And I answered him: "It's OK, Father, but then to whom do I propose it? ". His gaze became sharp, acute, as if he wanted to read inside me, inside my inner feelings. "What you want to make known you can make known, you choose the way". Now, far from wanting to see in this a divine imperative, the anointing of the Lord, I simply took this dream as a good omen, as an incentive to want to convey what I know, what I have accumulated in my core on this subject, including the doubts and reservations of friends, but also and above all to share the treasures that are available to all, and give an answer to certain doubts and concerns. I have always known that these remain dead letters, and since the answer was often and is still close to our hands, but it was not written anywhere, I felt almost obliged to write this essay. However, I do not want to make any demands, but that the reader creates his own conscience, assimilates what I write and then elaborates freely. I chose to publish it in this way, on certain platforms, because I believe that even the most sincere and profound books on the subject of Marian Apparitions, La Salette, Lourdes, Fatima, Medjugorje and much more, are affected by convenience and opportunity. I needed to write about these topics in absolute freedom, without being bound to any scheme, to any file where you check alternative boxes to the others. Not that I had to propose some bizarre things, but if it is true that the truth makes free, that the truth manifests its radiant beauty, perhaps in a gradual way, it is also true that to do so it is necessary to have freedom, the possibility and in case also the courage to reveal it. The truth brings with it inconveniences, even if its fruits are luxuriant, which is why Sister Lucy, revealing the Secrets of Fatima, always had an attitude suspended between obedience, silence and irrepressible impulse. Prophecy, truth and knowledge burn within the mystical soul and demand that they be revealed in all their magnificence. Our Lady has a clear plan for the life of the living, for our planet, it is necessary that more people really know what future awaits us, what challenges lie ahead in the immediate horizon. We are living particular but also exciting times, and this is therefore a circumstance, a fortune and a 'misfortune' in some ways. We are and will be pioneers of a new world. In the essay, which is also a guide to the new times, my wish is that everyone can find ideas, reflections, but above all, even a clear and concrete information, that can be a path to follow, with both your heart and your mind. In fact, then I had many things to say, to express, to reveal. At a certain point, all this made a critical mass, and I found it burning inside me, like a torch, or, in other words, I had to empty that sack that I was carrying on me, because humanity must know, or rather, a part of the people to whom this book can say a lot or a little, must know our times and those that are at the gates as they really will be, to the extent that we are allowed. Christian culture does not have a cryptic connotation, but demands that everything has to be in the public domain, therefore emerging from the shadows. Of course, sometimes with reasons of opportunity that mark the timing, but there is nothing that is or that exists that should not be revealed. Is with this anxiety of the heart, as those of who wants to communicate a new discovery to the world, that I invite you to read this book.

Download or read book Rethinking Mary in the New Testament written by Edward Sri and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars often have questioned how much the New Testament can tell us about the Mother of Jesus. After all, Mary appears only in a few accounts and speaks on limited occasions. Can Scripture really support the many Marian beliefs developed in the Church over time? In Rethinking Mary in the New Testament, Dr. Edward Sri shows that the Bible reveals more about Mary than is commonly appreciated. For when the Mother of Jesus does appear in Scripture, it's often in passages of great importance, steeped in the Jewish Scriptures, and packed with theological significance. This comprehensive work examines every key New Testament reference to Mary, addressing common questions along the way, such as: What was Mary's life like before the Annunciation? Is there biblical support for Mary's Immaculate Conception and Perpetual Virginity? Does Scripture reveal Mary as our spiritual mother? What does it mean for Mary to be "full of grace"? How is Mary the "New Eve," "Ark of the Covenant," and "Queen Mother"? Can Mary be identified with the "woman" in Revelation 12? Rethinking Mary in the New Testament offers a fresh, in-depth look at the Mother of Jesus in Scripture—one that helps us know Mary better and her role in God's plan.

Download or read book Negotiating Marian Apparitions written by Agnieszka Halemba and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concerns the politics of religion as expressed through apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Dzhublyk in Transcarpathian Ukraine. The analysis provides insights into the present position of Transcarpathia in regional, Ukrainewide, and European struggles for identity and political belonging. The way in which the apparitions site has been conceived and managed raises questions concerning the fate of religious communities during and after socialism, the significance of national projects for religious organizations, and the politics of religious management in a situation in which local religious commitments are relatively strong and religious organizations are relatively weak. The analysis contributes to the ethnography and history of this particular region and of the post-socialist world in general. The changing status of the apparition site over the years allows investigation of the questions concerning authority, legitimacy, and power in religious organizations, especially in relation to management of religious experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE SPIRITUAL LIFE: A TREATISE ON ASCETICAL AND MYSTICAL THEOLOGY REVEREND ADOLPHE TANQUEREY — A Catholic Classic! — Two Parts of Four Books in One — Includes 1,773 Active Linked Footnotes — Includes Active Linked Headings, Index and Table of Contents — Includes Religious Illustrations Publisher: Available in Paperbacks: FIRST PART: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-507-9 SECOND PART: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-508-6 It is the writer’s conviction that Dogma is the foundation of Ascetical Theology and that an exposition of what God has done and still does for us is the most efficacious motive of true devotion. Hence, care has been taken to recall briefly the truths of faith on which the spiritual life rests. This treatise then is first of all doctrinal in character and aims at bringing out the fact that Christian perfection is the logical outcome of dogma, especially of the central dogma of the Incarnation. The work however is also practical, for a vivid realization of the truths of faith is the strongest incentive to earnest and steady efforts towards the correction of faults and the practice of virtues. Consequently in the first part of this treatise the practical conclusions that naturally flow from revealed truths and the general means of perfection are developed. The second part contains a more detailed exposition of the special means of advancing along the Three Ways towards the heights of perfection. Contents: FIRST PART: Principles SECOND PART: The Three Ways BOOK I: The Purification of the Soul or the Purgative Way BOOK II: The Illuminative Way BOOK III: The Unitive Way PUBLISHER: CATHOLIC WAY PUBLISHING

Download or read book The Conjugal Dictatorship of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos written by Primitivo Mijares and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-17 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's Foreword This book is unfinished. The Filipino people shall finish it for me. I wrote this volume very, very slowly. 1 could have done with it In three months after my defection from the conjugal dictatorship of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos on February 20.1975. Instead, I found myself availing of every excuse to slow it down. A close associate, Marcelino P. Sarmiento, even warned me, "Baka mapanis 'yan." (Your book could become stale.)While I availed of almost any excuse not to finish the manuscript of this volume, I felt the tangible voices of a muted people back home in the Philippines beckoning to me from across the vast Pacific Ocean. In whichever way I turned, I was confronted by the distraught images of the Filipino multitudes cryingout to me to finish this work, lest the frailty of human memory -- or any incident a la Nalundasan - consign to oblivion the matters I had in mind to form the vital parts of this book. It was as if the Filipino multitudes and history itself were surging in an endless wave presenting a compelling demand on me toSan Francisco, California perpetuate the personal knowledge I have gained on the infamous machinations of Ferdinand E. Marcos and his overly ambitious wife, Imelda, that led to a day of infamy in my country, that Black Friday on September 22, 1972, when martial law was declared as a means to establish history's first conjugal dictatorship. The sense of urgency in finishing this work was also goaded by the thought that Marcos does not have eternal life and that the Filipino people are of unimaginable forgiving posture. I thought that, if I did not perpetuate this work for posterity, Marcos might unduly benefit from a Laurelian statement that, when a man dies, the virtues of his past are magnified and his faults are reduced to molehills. This is a book for which so much has been offered and done by Marcos and his minions so that it would never see the light of print. Now that it is off the press. I entertain greater fear that so much more will be done to prevent its circulation, not only in the Philippines but also in the United States.But this work now belongs to history. Let it speak for itself in the context of developments within the coming months or years. Although it finds great relevance in the present life of the present life of the Filipinos and of Americans interested in the study of subversion of democratic governments by apparently legal means, this work seeks to find its proper niche in history which mustinevitably render its judgment on the seizure of government power from the people by a lame duck Philippine President.If I had finished this work immediately after my defection from the totalitarian regime of Ferdinand and Imelda, or after the vicious campaign of the dictatorship to vilify me in July-August. 1975, then I could have done so only in anger. Anger did influence my production of certain portions of the manu-script. However, as I put the finishing touches to my work, I found myself expurgating it of the personal venom, the virulence and intemperate language of my original draft.Some of the materials that went into this work had been of public knowledge in the Philippines. If I had used them, it was with the intention of utilizing them as links to heretofore unrevealed facets of the various ruses that Marcos employed to establish his dictatorship.Now, I have kept faith with the Filipino people. I have kept my rendezvous with history. I have, with this work, discharged my obligation to myself, my profession of journalism, my family and my country.I had one other compelling reason for coming out with this work at the great risks of being uprooted from my beloved country, of forced separation from my wife and children and losing their affection, and of losing everything I have in my name in the Philippines - or losing life itself. It is that I wanted to makea public expiation for the little influence that I had . . . .(more inside)
