May it all be for His greater Glory. I have also enclosed a few pages where I describe the effects and the beautiful promises that Jesus makes to everyone who meditates these Hours of the Passion. I believe that if whoever meditates on them is a sinner, he will convert; if he is imperfect, he will become perfect; if he is holy, he will become holier; if he is tempted, he will find victory; if suffering, he will find strength, medicine, and comfort in these Hours; if weak and poor, he will find a spiritual food and a mirror in which to look at himself continually and so become beautiful and similar to Jesus, our model”.

Download or read book A Passion for God written by Lyle Dorsett and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I fear we shall never see another Tozer. Men like him are not college-bred but Spirit-taught.' Leonard Ravenhill, 20th century British evangelist. Pastor A. W. Tozer, author of the Christian classics The Pursuit of God and The Knowledge of the Holy, was a complex, intensely private, deeply spiritual man, and a gifted preacher whose impact for the kingdom of God is immeasurable. In this thoughtful biography, bestselling author Lyle Dorsett traces Tozer's life from his humble beginnings as a Pennsylvania farm boy to his heyday as a Chicago pastor- when hundreds of college students would travel to his South Side church to hear him preach and thousands more heard his Sunday broadcasts on WMBI- to his final pastorate in Toronto. From his conversion as a teen to his death in 1963, Tozer remained true to one passion: to know the Father and make Him known, no matter what the cost. The price he paid was loneliness, censure from other, more secular-minded ministers of the times, and even a degree of estrangement from his family. Read the life story of a flawed but gifted saint, whose works are still impacting the world today.

Download or read book St Matthew Passion written by Hans Blumenberg and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Matthew Passion is Hans Blumenberg's sustained and devastating meditation on Jesus's anguished cry on the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Why did this abandonment happen, what does it mean within the logic of the Gospels, how have believers and nonbelievers understood it, and how does it live on in art? With rare philological acuity and vast historical learning, Blumenberg unfolds context upon context in which this cry has reverberated, from early Christian apologetics and heretics to twentieth-century literature and philosophy. Blumenberg's guide through this unending story of divine abandonment is Johann Sebastian Bach's monumental Matthäuspassion, the parabolic mirror that bundled eighteen hundred years of reflection on the fate of the crucified and the only available medium that allows us post-Christian listeners to feel the anguish of those who witnessed the events of the Passion. With interspersed references to writers such as Goethe, Rilke, Kafka, Freud, and Benjamin, Blumenberg gathers evidence to raise the singular question that, in his view, Christian theology has not been able to answer: How can an omnipotent God be so offended by his creatures that he must sacrifice and abandon his own Son?

Download or read book The Passion of Christ Strengthen Us written by Elmer M. Abear and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of our "insensitivity" to the will of God Mel Gibson's movie The Passion of the Christ may perhaps awaken our spiritual values and challenges us about the reality of heaven and hell in the afterlife. The Passion of Christ, Strengthen Us..., written by Dr. E. M. Abear, tells us that if we have for a moment what St. Faustina saw in her visions the brutalities done to Christ in Mel Gibson's film may pale in comparison to how sin offends God. However, the image of Christ on the cover gives us hope of His infinite divine mercy and introduces us to the "Kingdom of Heaven." What sets Dr. Abear's book apart from other writers is his scientific explanation about the death of the human blood in relationship to Christ's own divinity as He dies on the cross. The entire book tries to supplement what movies about Christ cannot fully articulate in words. Thus, after perhaps reading this scholarly dissertation of love and obedience, of sin and forgiveness, of Pope John Paul II's joy and suffering one may hopefully arrive to a better understanding and appreciation about The Passion of Christ. Book Review PASSION OF CHRIST, Strengthen Us Reviewed by J.R. Pingol The main message of this book is to make us understand that The Passion of Christ is the autobiography of our own life. The book starts by defining what is genuine love. The freedom of love according to the author is limited within the confine of God's will by which we all are obligated as creatures to obey, His Ten Commandments. Since we often fail to obey God's ten commandments (priests, nuns, lay persons alike) in our journey through life God bestows upon us, the gift of our conscience (which the author constantly makes references to Pope John Paul II's concept). Since conscience is often subjective to the will of man there are failures and successes when tested in a world that has gone increasingly secular. Forgiveness and generosity (chapter 3-4) heal the wounds of our misdeeds so we won't lose hope in our search for perfect happiness. By this the author introduces to us the kingdom of heaven (chapter 5). In this chapter we should not miss his beautiful insight of heaven as based from Christ's teaching nor his practical understanding of Christ's eight beatitudes .in relationship with our daily struggle in life. Having said that Dr. Abear points out the necessity of our knowing the ugliness of sin (chapter 7) so that no matter how we have sunk into the abyss of sins the two rays from the heart of Jesus (see cover) would show to us the abundance of His divine mercy, particularly available by those who would repent before He comes as a Judge. Chapter 12 opines with a new idea about the Passion of Christ which sets Dr. E. Abear's book apart from other writers. He writes about the physiology of human blood, how it separates into "blood and serum" and its scientific implication to the "blood and water" mentioned in the bible. In the absence of this scientific explanation for centuries most theologians had regarded the divinity of Christ as a mystery. No man in history has lived long after the blood in his heart turns into "water and blood." Indeed, the suffering of Christ in terms of our sinfulness is so brutal that it dwarfs the brutalities in Mel Gibson's movie. Mel Gibson is right: Christ dies to redeem 'the sins of humanity,' past, present and future, regardless of religion, color, or creed. Reflecting on the crucified Jesus reveals to us the autobiography of our own life. The 7th canticle of conversion concludes the book: Out of your divine mercy, oh Christ Comes my little faith Which out of my unbelief you deliver me from evil and embrace me for a new start.
Download or read book A Passion for Christ written by Thomas F. Torrance and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a culture increasingly secular in its pursuits and indifferent to the voice of the church, how may we ignite the fire for ministry that will bring the gospel to the world? How can weary pastors be sustained amidst a climate of doubt and resistance? For more than half a century, three remarkable brothers have offered a vision that has inspired thousands in churches and seminaries. Today, their message remains fresh and relevant as we enter a new millennium. And for one reason: The Brothers Torrance share a passion for Christ--the Christ of the Scriptures, the Christ of the historic Nicene faith. These essays distill the essence of their thought, and shine with the clarity of their shared vision. A Passion for Christ is a light of encouragement for ministers and lay people elsewhere.
