Download or read book Mercy in the City written by Kerry Weber and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2014-01-08 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jesus asked us to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, and visit the imprisoned, he didn’t mean it literally, right? Kerry Weber, a modern, young, single woman in New York City sets out to see if she can practice the Corporal Works of Mercy in an authentic, personal, meaningful manner while maintaining a full, robust, regular life. Weber, a lay Catholic, explores the Works of Mercy in the real world, with a gut-level honesty and transparency that people of urban, country, and suburban locales alike can relate to. Mercy in the City is for anyone who is struggling to live in a meaningful, merciful way amid the pressures of “real life.” For those who feel they are already overscheduled and too busy, for those who assume that they are not “religious enough” to practice the Works of Mercy, for those who worry that they are alone in their efforts to live an authentic life, Mercy in the City proves that by living as people for others, we learn to connect as people of faith.
Download or read book His Mercy Endures Forever written by Mark G. Boyer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because there is no single word that translates the Hebrew word hesed and the Greek word eleos, multiple words are used in English biblical translations. Mercy is the most frequently used word in English, but forgiveness, generosity, pity, and others are also used. Using 106 biblical texts gathered from the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), the Old Testament Apocrypha, and the Christian Bible (New Testament), a representative sample of the various ways hesed and eleos are translated is presented in this book. Each entry consists of a short title, a few verses of Scripture, a reflection, a psalm response, a meditation/journal question, and a concluding prayer. The purpose of the book is to assist the reader’s development of spirituality, a deeper knowledge of divine mercy, meditation on how he or she has experienced it, and a closer relationship with God.
Download or read book We Have Found Mercy written by Christoph Schoenborn and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sister Faustina Kowalska, the Polish nun who had mystical encounters with the merciful Christ in the early 20th century, was canonized a saint by Pope John Paul II. The Pope also declared the first Sunday after Easter to be Divine Mercy Sunday, and it was during the vigil Mass of this feast that the Holy Father received his last Holy Communion and drew his last breath. The message of Divine Mercy as communicated through Sister Faustina is both a starting point and a recurring theme for Cardinal Schönborn's discussion of God's merciful love. The Archbishop of Vienna explores the presence of God's great mercy in the Scriptures, Tradition, the life of Christ, and the sacraments and works of the Church, while raising important questions along the way, such as, "What is the relationship between mercy and justice?" "Mercy is the central nucleus of the Gospel message. In our time humanity needs a strong proclamation and witness of God's mercy . . . Go forth and be witnesses of God's mercy, a source of hope for every person and for the whole world." - Pope Benedict XVI

Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is a merciful God. God's mercies is described in plural forms, indicating that God have different kinds or degrees of mercies which he can bestow on us. I am sure all of us can have graceful share of God's mercies. Then, God's mercy never ceases or never comes to an end or does not have an end. Great. King David says, God's mercy endures forever. This assures us we can always seek, or ask for God's mercy at any point of our pilgrimage on earth. God's mercies never get exhausted. That is good news for you and me. We shall see the operations and functionality of God's and his mercies in this small work. Read carefully, I encourage you. In The Mystery of God's Mercy we will see how God's mystery of mercy unfolded and how we can experience and enjoy it. The narrative is about the Lord of mercy and how he demonstrates and teaches us some awesome lessons about God's unending mercies.Many things come freely in life, but some other things are not. You need to request, ask, knock, and seek for them diligently. In our modern language, we can say you need to subscribe or register for them before you can receive them. Sometimes you pay for the subscription. As far as I understand from the Bible and life experiences, one of the things we need to request, seek, ask, subscribe, or register for is mercy. You do not pay for mercy-otherwise it is not mercy. Nevertheless, you subscribe or passionately request for it. This applies to receiving mercy for God. The cost you might have to pay is that of requesting or asking for mercy. I believe holding this book shows you love or desire to do this one single thing-to subscribe, register, and request for God's mercy. I have come to realize that mercy is in three categories. Mercy for all people whether they are Christians or not; mercy for born again, redeemed children of God; and specific mercy for you as a child of God. Whoever you are take note of this; You have a package of mercy with your name written on it. - You need to ask God for it soonest and always. - God is ready to give his mercy at all time.
