Download or read book Joyful Sorrowful and Ordinary Mysteries written by Raymond Fortunato and published by Central Park South Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raymond Fortunato's stories have a kind of light existential theme, of how little moments in life can change everything. Many of the stories are faintly spiritual in that some connection gets made - either by a guru, a beaver, a priest, a smart grandfather - guiding the main character into new adventures and a greater knowledge of him or herself. All the stories involve a quest: to have passion in order to be a better writer, to fight for free speech, to save a co-worker who is unfairly targeted to lose their job, take a great risk to raise a vast amount of money for earthquake relief in Italy, repent a seemingly-righteous murder. The characters in Joyful, Sorrowful and Other Mysteries are imperfect and unconventional with an approach to life that can raise more questions than it answers. Nobody does the expected in these stores, and in some way, nobody is fearful of acting out their deepest selves. The stories are unpredictable and quite varied, but they share a common thread of people seeking accuracy in their life and to know what they are supposed to be doing. The characters likability and how and where they look for satisfaction is why we root for them as they work for they success.

Download or read book Five for Sorrow Ten for Joy written by J. Neville Ward and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2005-09 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since earliest times Christians have used pebbles, a string of knots, or beads on a cord to keep track of their prayers, and prayer beads can be found in virtually every major religious tradition in the world. Anglicans and other Protestants have also begun to use the rosary to help refresh a life of prayer--it creates a rhythm that helps wean us from our distractions and focus our attention so that we can more readily move into God's presence. As the beads and prayers recede into the background, the mysteries that make up the rosary come into our minds and hearts like religious pictures or icons. First published in 1975, J. Neville Ward's unusual collection of meditations offer an entirely new approach to the rosary for all Christians. He begins with its traditional use and then offers fifteen insights into the life of Jesus and his mother Mary that can speak to us today. Thus a meditation on the sorrowful themes reminds us of the suffering that is so much a part of our own lives, while the joyful and glorious mysteries speak of the desire for faith, hope, and love that will heal them. These reflections serve up a rich spiritual repast for Christians seeking new contemplative practices and learning to pray with the rosary.

Download or read book Rosary Is this Prayer Biblical written by Alan Cajetan Fernandes and published by Burning Bush Publishing LLP. This book was released on 2020-10-16 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosary is the treasured prayer of the Church. Praying the Rosary together, families have been built up in love and piety. In the Catholic spiritual tradition, the first prayers that children babble are of those of the Rosary. This book is intended to enable catholic to understand what we pray, and why we pray the Rosary prayer, so that we may pray it more meaningfully and joyfully, with deeper love, affection, and respect to our Blessed Mother. The book is primarily apologetic in nature, showing essentially how the prayer is Scriptural, and in the minimum explanation possible, attempts to answer some common doubts raised by our brethren outside the Catholic fraternity. This book is not an exhaustive theological treatise on the Rosary. It is written from a layman’s perspective trying to include in it the necessary biblical and theological explanations. In the process, I have relied heavily upon the Catechism of the Catholic Church to substantiate my arguments, since in it we have the official teaching of the Church.
