Download or read book Retreat for Priests written by Ronald Arbuthnott Knox and published by . This book was released on 1946 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has taken Old Testament stories as the subject of eighteen meditations to be used in a retreat for priests. And in most cases he has chosen an incident in the New Testament and placed it side by side with the other. "Between the two," he writes, "we ought by God's help to be able to see what warning it was, or what encouragement, that the Holy Ghost meant us to draw, when he inspired the sacred authors to write as they did." What emerges is a brilliantly original book of meditations, ideally suitable for priests but extraordinarily fruitful for the lay reader. His subjects range from the Creation to Our Lady, and each Old Testament incident is skillfully resolved into some spiritual situation of which the touchstone is grace.

Download or read book An 8 Day Ignatian Retreat for Priests Religious and Lay Ministers written by Thomas P. Rausch and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost five hundred years, the little book The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola has been an important source for Christian prayer-life. However, many Church ministers (priests, deacons, religious, and laypersons) do not have the time to make the full thirty-day Ignatian retreat with a spiritual director. This helpful resource seeks to lead a retreatant prayerfully into the heart of an Ignatian retreat by using contemplations and themes from the Spiritual Exercises as well as other meditations on the life of Jesus-but within an eight-day time frame. With a particular focus on ministry, both ordained and nonordained, the short chapters present mysteries from the life of Jesus and considerations that correspond to the dynamics of the Exercises. They represent a preparation for prayer, not to instruct but to move the imagination and hopefully the heart. An appendix offers additional scriptural texts. An 8 Day Ignatian Retreat for Priests, Religious, Deacons, and Lay Ministers enables busy and hardworking Church ministers to apply the Ignatian insights to their own interior life, which will result in rejuvenation and growth in their pastoral ministry.
Download or read book The Power of Silence written by Robert Sarah and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now with a new afterword by Pope emeritus Benedict XVI! In a time when technology penetrates our lives in so many ways and materialism exerts such a powerful influence over us, Cardinal Robert Sarah presents a bold book about the strength of silence. The modern world generates so much noise, he says, that seeking moments of silence has become both harder and more necessary than ever before. Silence is the indispensable doorway to the divine, explains the cardinal in this profound conversation with Nicolas Diat. Within the hushed and hallowed walls of the La Grande Chartreux, the famous Carthusian monastery in the French Alps, Cardinal Sarah addresses the following questions: Can those who do not know silence ever attain truth, beauty, or love? Do not wisdom, artistic vision, and devotion spring from silence, where the voice of God is heard in the depths of the human heart? After the international success of God or Nothing, Cardinal Sarah seeks to restore to silence its place of honor and importance. "Silence is more important than any other human work," he says, "for it expresses God. The true revolution comes from silence; it leads us toward God and others so as to place ourselves humbly and generously at their service."

Download or read book Sacerdotal Retreat written by Mateo Crawley-Boevey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I am come to cast fire on the earth; and what will I, but that it be kindled?" Our Savior sent His Apostles to the four corners of the earth to spread the fire of God's love throughout a pagan world of hatred and ignorance. The Holy Ghost was also given to the Church to keep this flame burning until the end of the world. But Our Lord warned, "And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold," and asked whether when He comes again, "He shall he find faith on earth?" To rekindle this fire in our neo-pagan world, the Sacred Heart appeared to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque in the seventeenth century at Paray-le-Monial. At the beginning of the twentieth century the Sacred Heart, again at Paray-le-Monial, gave an apostolic mission to Father Mateo Crawley-Boevey to spread the devotion of Home Enthronement to the Sacred Heart. Additionally he was an outstanding apostle of priestly sanctity throughout the world. What better way to rekindle the fire of charity in God's Church than by preaching retreats, especially to priests, drawing from his profound faith and ardent zeal? This book contains some conferences of a retreat preached by Father Mateo. In them he instructs priests that sanctity can be attained simply through the fulfillment of their duties of state, yet only when performed with a supernatural spirit of union with Christ crucified. He also underscores the sublime dignity of the priesthood as well as the tremendous value of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, which is the priest's primary means for his own sanctification and apostolate. These teachings are a needed remedy to Protestant and Modernist attacks upon both the priesthood and the Mass, causing thereby an identity crisis for the modern priest. As Father John d'Elbee, SS.CC., former Superior General of the Fathers of the Sacred Hearts, remarked, "How many bishops and priests have told us, 'My interior life, in fact my whole life, was transformed as a result of an unforgettable retreat preached by Father Mateo. What a debt of gratitude I owe him!"

Book excerpt: Winner of a 2018 Catholic Press Association Award: First-Time Author, Spirituality Softcover (First Place) and a 2018 Association of Catholic Publishers Award: Inspirational (Second Place). For more than four-hundred years, Introduction to the Devout Life by Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales has been regarded as the essential guide to holiness and loving God. This spiritual classic takes on new life in Lift Up Your Heart, where Rev. John Burns has interpreted ten meditations for the modern reader and distilled them into a ten-day mini-retreat that can easily be completed in the midst of a busy life. This practical book goes right to the heart of helping you kick the habit of floating along on your spiritual journey to start actively pursuing holiness and devotion to God. During the course of the retreat, you'll learn the basics of forming a daily prayer routine, including how to offer yourself to God, meditate on his love, and maintain peace in the face of suffering and clarity in the midst of temptation. The meditations will help you: Adopt gratitude as a daily prayer practice. Examine and reorder your priorities and relationships to better reflect your love for God. Discern between good and evil in your life. Desire to love and serve as Jesus did. In a very real sense, Burns helps you take St. Francis de Sales as your spiritual director for ten days. As you do so, you’ll feel God’s fatherly love and restart your faith life, equipped with the tools to connect with God and live for heaven now.
