Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SEVERAL MEMBERS OF CATHOLIC RELIGIOUS INSTITUTES, who served as NGO representatives to the United Nations, began a reflection on "consecrated life." They soon invited a few other key individuals to join their reflection. The results, presented in this book, are prophetic and searching essays by five visionary women and five visionary men whose roots and experience spread into Africa, the Americas, and Europe. These ten authors undertook their prophetic and searching reflections in light of the fiftieth anniversary of two key documents from the Second Vatican Council. Those documents are "Perfectae Caritatis," the Decree on the Adaptation and Renewal of Religious Life, and "Lumen Gentium," the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church. The authors did so in response to a global invitation by Pope Francis for institutes of consecrated life to use the anniversaries as a reflective occasion to "look to the future." Since the Second Vatican Council, members of religious institutes across the Catholic Church have been tapping back into the prophet visions of their foundresses and founders, and seeking to renew their communities for future prophetic service. Paradoxically, in the Global North that renewal has been accompanied by decline in numbers, while in the Global South there has been an explosion of numbers, and especially in Africa. Everyone interested in the global future of religious life will gain from reading this book. Its prophetic and searching essays will inspire all who read them. - Joe Holland, Ph.D., President, Pax Romana / Catholic Movement for Intellectual & Cultural Affairs USA, Washington DC EMEKA XRIS OBIEZU & JOHN PAUL SZURA, co-editors of this book, are both priests in the Order of Saint Augustine, and both have lengthy experience experience at the United Nations, as well as in scholarly and pastoral work.

Download or read book Moving Mountains written by John Eldredge and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times best-selling author of Wild at Heart John Eldredge offers readers a step-by-step guide to effective Christian prayer. How would it feel to enter into prayer with confidence and assurance—certain that God heard you and that your prayers would make a difference? It would likely feel amazing and unfamiliar. That’s because often our prayers seem to be met with silence or don’t appear to change anything. Either response can lead to disappointment or even despair in the face of our ongoing battles and unmet longings—especially when we don’t know if we’re doing something wrong or if some prayers just don’t work. New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge confronts these issues directly in Moving Mountains by offering a hopeful approach to prayer that is effective, relational, and rarely experienced by most Christians. In a world filled with danger, adventure, and wonder, we have at our disposal prayers that can transform the events and issues that matter most to us and to God. Moving Mountains shows you how to experience the power of daily prayer, learn the major types of prayers—including those of intervention, consecration, warfare, and healing—and to discover the intimacy of the cry of the heart prayer, listening prayer, and praying Scripture. Things can be different, and you personally have a role to play with God in bringing about that change through prayer. It may sound too good to be true, but this is your invitation to engage in the kind of prayers that can move God's heart as well as the mountains before you. Moving Mountains is also available in Spanish, Mueve montañas. To dive deeper into the Moving Mountains message, the Moving Mountains study guide and video study are available now.

Download or read book Totus Tuus written by Fr. Brian McMaster and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2013-01-03 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I am totally yours, and all that I have is yours." - St. Louis de Montfort Amidst the Nazi occupation of Poland and long days in forced labor at a quarry and chemical plant, young Karol Wojtyla - the man who would become Pope John Paul II - made a discovery that would change his life. He read the 18th century spiritual writings of St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort and prayed St. Louis' thirty-three days of preparation for total consecration to Jesus through Mary. He understood anew that the purpose of a true devotion to Mary is to be directed into a deeper relationship with Jesus and the Holy Trinity. The consecration so marked his life that he would adopt St. Louis' phrase Totus Tuus (Latin for "Totally Yours") as his motto as bishop and later as pope. Saint John Paul II's adoption of this radical commitment to Jesus through Mary ignited a new flame in the hearts of countless Catholics all over the world. This fresh look at Marian consecration takes the themes and structures of St. Louis de Montfort's preparation for total consecration and incorporates the teachings and insight of Saint John Paul II, including prayer, contemplation, and resolutions that will open your heart to the life of the Holy Trinity. Through these thirty-three days of spiritual exercises you will discover how you can grow closer to Jesus through the heart of Mary, while becoming the very best version of yourself in a life of consecration.
