Download or read book Forming Intentional Disciples written by Sherry A. Weddell and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we transmit a living, personal Catholic faith to future generations? By coming to know Jesus Christ, and following him as his disciples. These are times of immense challenge and immense opportunity for the Catholic Church. Consider these statistics for the United States. Only 30 percent of Americans who were raised Catholic are still practicing. Fully 10 percent of all adults in America are ex-Catholics. The number of marriages celebrated in the Church decreased dramatically, by nearly 60 percent, between 1972 and 2010. Only 60 percent of Catholics believe in a personal God. If the Church is to reverse these trends, the evangelizers must first be evangelized-in other words, Catholics-in-the-pew must make a conscious choice to know and follow Jesus before they can draw others to him. This work of discipleship lies at the heart of Forming Intentional Disciples, a book designed to help Church leaders, parish staff and all Catholics transform parish life from within. Drawing upon her fifteen years of experience with the Catherine of Siena Institute, Sherry Weddell leads readers through steps that will help Catholics enter more deeply into a relationship with God and the river of apostolic creativity, charisms, and vocation that flow from that relationship for the sake of the Church and the world. Learn about the five thresholds of postmodern conversion, how to open a conversation about faith and belief, how to ask thought-provoking questions and establish an atmosphere of trust, when to tell the Great Story of Jesus, how to help someone respond to God's call to intentional discipleship, and much more. And be prepared for conversion because when life at the parish level changes, the life of the whole Church will change.

Download or read book Te Presento a Jesucristo written by Samuel Macadam and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Te Presento a Jesucristo" contiene algunas de las vivencias que el Rev. Samuel MacAdam ha tenido con el Señor Jesús durante gran parte de su carrera ministerial. Han sido escritas como una evidencia de la realidad de la vida cristiana y como un testimonio para aquellos que no conocen a Jesucristo. Pero también para compartir con el creyente de hoy aquellas otras facetas propias de Jesús, que tal vez podrían ser desconocidas para algunos de ellos. Cada una de ellas tiene su propia connotación en la vida del autor, y es su testimonio acerca de la personalidad de JESUCRISTO no pretendiendo establecer un patrón de conducta evangélica como una forma personal.

Download or read book La Parabola de la Higuera written by Gamaliel CalderóN Mata and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "De la higuera aprended la parábola; cuando ya sus ramas se enternecen sabed que el verano está cerca" (Mt. 24:32-33). Cuando escuchamos o leemos estas palabras de Jesucristo nuestra mente evoca las imágenes del establecimiento del estado judío en 1948 y la reconquista de Jerusalén en 1967. Sin embargo, la parábola de la higuera que tanto ha inquietado a los exegetas de todos los tiempos, quería decirnos mucho más que aquellos dos importantes acontecimientos en la historia moderna de Israel. Jesucristo se estaba refiriendo a una generación específica de israelitas que se levantaría en el estado judío ya restaurado entre las naciones en el fin de esta era, y cuyo escenario seria la ciudad santa ya reconquistada. Esa generación específica de israelitas es de la que se dijo "no pasaría" y de la cual ya nos habían hablado los antiguos profetas de la biblia. ¿Cuándo comenzara la gran tribulación? ¿Quién es la mujer vestida del sol de Apocalipsis 12? Entérese de esta novedosa e interesante tesis escatológica que arroja más luz sobre el cuadro profético.

Download or read book An Immigration of Theology written by Simon C. Kim and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-05-03 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theological reflections of Virgilio Elizondo and Gustavo Gutierrez are examples of the ecclesial fruitfulness of the second half of the twentieth century. Following the directives of Pope John XXIII and the Second Vatican Council, Elizondo and Gutierrez present the Gospel message in relevant terms to their own people by engaging the world as the Church of the poor. Inspired by this moment in Church history, while at the same time recognizing the plight of their people in their poor and marginal existence, Elizondo and Gutierrez discovered a new way of doing theology by asking a specific set of questions based on their local context. By investigating where God is present in the border crossers of the southwestern United States and the poorest of the poor in Latin America, both theologians have uncovered a hermeneutical lens in rereading Scripture and deepening our understanding of ecclesial tradition. Elizondo's mestizaje and Gutierrez's preferential option for the poor arose out of a theology of context, a theological method that takes seriously the contextual circumstances of their locale. By utilizing the common loci theologici of Scripture and tradition in conjunction with context and their own experience, Elizondo and Gutierrez illustrate through their theologies how every group must embrace their own unique theological reflection.

Thorough research was also completed while lecturing at the University of Cologne (Germany) on Iberian and Latin American History, as well as during his term as professorial chair of Richard Konetzke and Günter Kahle.

Book excerpt: Hace ya 25 años de mi ordenación sacerdotal, y en la celebración de las Bodas de Plata sacerdotales (el 13 de septiembre de 2011), es oportuno mirar atrás con sentido de historia enriquecida, y comprender el hoy continuado, con esperanzas del mañana en continuidad en la fidelidad. Las cosas en algo han cambiado. No solamente los años y sus acumulaciones. Pues, ayer nos iluminaba de una manera el Evangelio; y hoy nos ilumina de la misma manera, pero con nuevas insinuaciones en progreso. Ayer el Espíritu nos insinuaba lo que hoy se comprende de una manera más clara, siempre en conexión y en la misma línea de comprensión.

This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un día, como otras veces, abrí mi Biblia al azar, para recibir algún mensaje de Dios, es una costumbre bien conocida entre los cristianos. Leí el último capítulo de Lucas y puse mi atención en el versículo 44 y me pregunté ¿Qué es lo que está escrito en los Salmos acerca de Cristo? Los Salmos son cánticos, alabanzas, la historia cantada de un pueblo, un pueblo hostigado y perseguido por siglos. Me di a la tarea de leer con cuidado todas las expresiones de los 150 Salmos que se encuentran en la Biblia. Encontré un tesoro. Descubrí profecías relacionadas con Cristo en casi todos los Salmos. Fue una experiencia inolvidable, con pasión y frenesí me di a la tarea de poner en un libro todas esas profecías que hablan de nuestro Salvador y Dios, de su origen, su niñéz, su entrada al mundo, sus milagros, enseñanzas, su sacrificio y sufrimientos, además su triunfo y coronación como futuro Rey en Jerusalén y su dominio sobre todas las cosas.
