Download or read book A White Catholic s Guide to Racism and Privilege written by Daniel P. Horan and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2021-09-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a 2022 Association of Catholic Publishers Excellence in Publishing Award: General Interest (Third Place). Growing up, Fr. Daniel P. Horan, O.F.M., never thought much about race, racism, or racial justice except for what he read in history books. His upbringing as a white, middle-class Catholic shielded him from seeing the persistent, pervasive racism all around him. Horan shares what he has since learned about uncovering and combatting racial inequity in our nation and in our Church, urging us to join the fight. In the spring and summer of 2020, US cities erupted in protests and racial tensions ran high following several high-profile killings of Black women and men at the hands of white police officers. As America watched and listened, many of us became dislodged from our comfortable assumptions about race. Horan recognized this unnerving dynamic as a doorway to the awakening and spiritual conversion he has been undergoing for much of his adult life. In A White Catholic’s Guide to Racism and Privilege, Horan speaks prophetically to what has become a gnawing unease for so many. With candid critique and reflection, Horan helps us makes sense of crucial issues such as: The difference between what sociologists call common-sense racism and systemic racism. What is meant by white privilege and how is contributes to racial injustices. The Catholic Church’s teachings about racism, how those can still be developed, and what those teachings require of us. Combatting racism in our everyday lives. As a white man, Horan shows his fellow white Catholics how to become actively anti-racist and better allies to our Black brothers and sisters as we work against racism in our culture and in the Church. He offers us the hope and surety of the Gospel, the wisdom of Catholic tradition, and some practical ways to educate ourselves and advocate for justice. Each chapter includes a substantial suggested-reading list. This book is perfect for individual or group study.

Es un tiempo para buscar el gozo en vida y los dones de la gracia de Dios mientras nos preparamos para celebrar la muerte y resurreccion de Senor.

Horan, OFM, ayuda nos guia a encontrar la luz de Dios incluso en los momentos mas oscuros de Cuaresma hasta movimos a la alegria de Pascua.

The light of Christ illumines our lives and symbolizes the company of a loving God who will show us the way forward. But we have to choose to live as "children of light." For each day of Lent through the Octave of Easter, Father Daniel P. Horan, OFM, helps guide us to find God's light in even the darkest moments of the forty days of Lent until we move toward the joy of Easter.

Download or read book Christ Versus Arizona written by Camilo José Cela and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ versus Arizona turns on the events in 1881 that surrounded the shootout at the OK Corral, where Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Virgil and Morgan Earp fought the Clantons and the McLaurys. Set against a backdrop of an Arizona influenced by the Mexican Revolution and the westward expansion of the United States, the story is a bravura performance by the 1989 Nobel Prize-winning author. A monologue by the naive, unreliable, and uneducated Wendell L. Espana, the book weaves together hundreds of characters and a torrent of interconnected anecdotes, some true, some fabricated. Wendell s story is a document of the vast array of ills that welcomed the dawning of the twentieth century, ills that continue to shape our world in the new millennium."

Download or read book Journey to the Alcarria written by Camilo José Cela and published by Atlantic Monthly Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Awarded the 1989 Nobel Prize for Literature, Camilo José Cela has long been recognized as one of the preeminent Spanish writers of the twentieth century. Journey to the Alcarria is the best known of his vagabundajes, Cela's term for his books of travels, sketchbooks of regions or provinces. The Alcarria is a territory in New Castile, northeast of Madrid, surrounding most of the Guadalajara province. The region is high, rocky, and dry, and is famous for its honey. Cela himself is "the traveler," an urban intellectual wandering from village to village, through farms and along country roads, in search of the Spanish character. Cela relishes his encounters with the simple, honest people of the Spanish countryside--the blushing maid in the tavern, the small-town shopkeeper with airs of grandeur lonely for companionship, the old peasant with his donkey who freely shares his bread and blanket with the stranger. These vignettes are narrated in a fresh, clear prose that is wonderfully evocative. As the New York Times wrote, Cela is "an outspoken observer of human life who built his reputation on portraying what he observed in a direct colloquial style."

Download or read book SPA NUEVO COMIENZO written by Amy Welborn and published by Libros Liguori. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus and Mary, from the crib to the cross. We started Advent with eager anticipation for Christmas, but we begin Lent with, perhaps, a bit more reluctance. Giving things up is inconvenient. Taking time for prayer interferes with an already busy schedule. Putting Jesus first means other things must be let go. This Lent and Easter season, author Amy Welborn shares her own struggles and triumphs of trying to live Lent and Easter spirituality year-round. She shares how small moments of frustration can turn into small lessons of grace. We carry our own crosses alongside Jesus this season. But as we drop worldly concerns to pick up our cross, we may realize our burden has actually been lightened.

Download or read book Noli Me Tangere written by José Rizal and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2024-10-21T20:31:09Z with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noli Me Tangere takes place towards the end of the Spanish colonization of the Philippines. It deals with the corruption that had worked its way into the church and governing authorities over the centuries. The title, Latin for “touch me not,” is a reference to the passage in the Gospel of John, where the resurrected Jesus tells Mary Magdalene not to cling to him. It also refers to types of cancer sores that are very painful and irritated by touch, serving as a metaphor for the state of Philippine society that Rizal perceived. Crisóstomo Ibarra returns from Europe after years of study, shortly after the death of his father. He plans to marry his childhood sweetheart, María Clara, and to open a school in his hometown. Crisóstomo is a hopeful idealist, believing that the Filipinos can improve their situation if given a proper education. But a friend warns him that he will make enemies by undertaking such a project—and in fact, he already has enemies. Soon past secrets emerge, and Crisóstomo must deal with unnamed forces working against him. Together with its sequel, El Filibusterismo, Noli Me Tangere indirectly influenced Philippine revolutionary sentiment to such an extent that Rizal was exiled and subsequently executed by the Spanish government. Both novels were long banned in the Philippines, but today are required reading for students, with Rizal considered a national hero. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Download or read book The Franciscan Heart of Thomas Merton written by Daniel P. Horan and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2014-09-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel Horan, O.F.M., popular author of Dating God and other books on Franciscan themes—and expert on the spirituality of Thomas Merton—masterfully presents the untold story of how the most popular saint in Christian history inspired the most popular spiritual writer of the twentieth century, and how together they can inspire a new generation of Christians. Millions of Christians and non-Christians look to Thomas Merton for spiritual wisdom and guidance, but to whom did Merton look? In The Franciscan Heart of Thomas Merton, Franciscan friar and author Daniel Horan shows how, both before and after he became a Trappist monk, Merton’s life was shaped by his love for St. Francis and for the Franciscan spiritual and intellectual tradition. Given recent renewed interest in St. Francis, this timely resource is both informative and practical, revealing a previously hidden side of Merton that will inspire a new generation of Christians to live richer, deeper, and more justice-minded lives of faith.

Download or read book All God s Creatures written by Daniel P. Horan and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The predominant “stewardship model” of creation is the result of an intentional effort to correct approaches that reinforce human sovereignty and the resulting environmental degradation. However, as All God’s Creatures argues, the stewardship model actually does not offer a correction but rather reinscribes many of the very same pitfalls. After close analysis of the stewardship model, this book identifies scriptural, theological, and philosophical sources to support the adoption of a “community of creation” paradigm. Drawing on postcolonial theory, this book proposes the concept of “planetarity” as a framework for conceiving the relationship between human and nonhuman creation, and the Creator, in a new way. This theoretical framework is grounded by a retrieval of the medieval Franciscan theological and philosophical tradition. The result is what can be called a postcolonial Franciscan theology of creation imagined in terms of planetarity, providing a constructive and nonanthropocentric response to the need for a new conceptualization of the doctrine of creation.

Download or read book Un Nuevo Comienzo Meditaciones Diarias Para Cuaresma y Pascua written by Ronald Rolheiser and published by Libros Liguori. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Cuaresma es el viaje anual que nos lleva a las profundidades del misterio de Dios. Para muchos que deben hacer un gran esfuerzo de conciliacion para cumplir con sus responsabilidades cotidianas, este periodo liturgico a menudo puede pasar con extrema rapidez dejando poco espacio para el crecimiento espiritual. Pero en este folleto, el padre Ron Rolheiser, conocido autor de obras de espiritualidad, nos ofrece una serie de reflexiones para cada dia de la Cuaresma y de la Semana Santa, las cuales son lo suficientemente breves y claras para una persona ocupada; pero, a la vez, suficientemente provocativas y exigentes para nuestros corazones. Inicie cada una de las meditaciones de "Un nuevo comienzo" encontrando un lugar tranquilo donde pueda estar en calma y lleno de paz en la presencia de Dios. Busque esto al menos por unos minutos. Estas reflexiones no le llevaran mucho tiempo. Necesita solo el tiempo suficiente para que las palabras penetren en usted e inspiren sus pensamientos. Como los va a aplicar a su propia vida? Despues de leerlas, le impulsan a hacer algun cambio especifico en su vida, sus actitudes o su comportamiento? Ese es precisamente el proceso de conversion. Ese es, en definitiva, el itinerario propio de la Cuaresma y de la Semana Santa. Lent is that annual journey taking us into the depths of God's mystery. For many who must juggle life's demands, the season often seems to pass by quickly with little opportunity for spiritual growth. But in this booklet, renowned spiritual writer Father Ron Rolheiser provides reflections for each day of Lent and Easter week that are short and clear enough for the busy person, yet provocative, and challenging to the heart of one's being. Begin each Un nuevo comienzo meditation by finding a quiet place where you can be calm and peace-fillled in the presence of God--at least for a few moments. These reflections will not take long. You need only enough time to let these written words sink in and inspire your own thoughts. How will you apply them to your own life? Do they spur you on to make some specific type of change in your life, your attitudes, or your behavior? That is the process of conversion. That is the journey of Lent and Easter.
