Download or read book Chaminade Pragmatist with a Vision written by Joseph Stefanelli and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this short biography, Father Stefanelli highlights key moments in the life of William Joseph Chaminade. The reader enjoys glimpses along his faith-filled (and at times rocky) path as the Marianist Founder traveled from his life as a young child in Mussidan, France; his exile in Saragossa, Spain; to his beatification 150 years after his death. Chaminade's inspired mission to rechristianize France is as viable today as it was at his first Sodality meeting on December 8th, 1800.
Download or read book Devotion to Mary written by Fr. Emile Neubert, SM and published by Academy of the Immaculate. This book was released on 2010 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pocket size book is for the soul looking to learn how to be ever more devoted to Our Lady. Fr. Emile Neubert, a 20th century, French Mariologist, writes this work in-depth as compared to his condensed book, "My Ideal, Jesus, son of Mary." Fr. Neubert, a Marianist, one of the finest Mariologists of the twentieth century, is not only the author of scholarly works, but of an amazing number of excellent books on matters spiritual and pastoral from a Marian perspective. This work, only now published in an English translation, first appeared in France in 1952 and was quickly translated into most European languages, but never in English. Fr. Neubert considered it one of his most important works. Countless priests have found this text an inspiring book of meditation and a source of priestly renewal. Throughout this work, Mary is presented especially as Mother: the Mother of God, our Mother, the Mother of all the members of the Mystical Body of Christ. Mary’s Motherhood is an image of the maternal character of the Church. For Fr. Neubert, Marian devotion consists not so much in specific practices but, rather, in offering one’s life to the Virgin Mary, an offering which has an ecclesial dimension. For St. Louis Grignion de Montfort, Marian consecration is a solemn renewal of one’s baptismal commitment confided to the Virgin Mother. For Blessed William Joseph Chaminade, Marian consecration is to assist Mary in her apostolic mission: as she gave birth to Christ, “the First-born among many brethren, she cooperates, with a mother’s love, in the generation and formation of the faithful” (Lumen Gentium 63).

Book excerpt: In the forward to his book, Queen of Militants, Father Neubert describes this drama between the forces of heaven and the forces of hell as they work through the machinations of those persons caught in their grip. He writes to the Church Militant, those of us on earth who belong to Christ:Your task may appear desperately difficult. Your enemies are more numerous than you; they have at their command inexhaustible resources; they are organized with a cleverness that one is almost tempted to call satanic.It is of prime importance, then, that you do not "beat the air," that your every step and your every move contribute to victory. And it is necessary that this victory be as complete as possible, for it concerns the cause of Christ and of His Church; it involves the temporal and eternal welfare of numberless souls.So, how can this battle be waged, and how can the militant organize his steps so that each contributes to victory? Father Neubert gives the answer. He gives us a playbook, a strategy to follow, which has everything to do with the Queen of Militants, the Blessed Virgin Mary. As a teacher guides a student through a process of development and discovery, so too, does Father Neubert lead his reader to the key principles of heaven's strategy to win the war through Mary's maternal beatitude and intercession. He instructs us in the life of a militant, how Mary forms and develops the militant for the struggle, of what the combat consists, and finally the prayers and devotional practices that are the fuel for victory. Gems of spiritual insight and wisdom follow one after the other in a path that leads to triumph.While the historic context of Queen of Militants is particular to the tensions and struggles of the mid 20th Century, the content of the book is as relevant today as it was then.
