Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know by the time you were four or five years old, that you are a blessed child of God, that because you belong to Him you have been endowed with rights nobody can ever take away? Did you learn during your early childhood years that not only does God value you unconditionally, but that He also loves every other human being just as much? In this book, Iris Pearce, one of the cofounders of the School of Spirituality of the Dallas-Fort-Worth Episcopal Diocese, counselor, and spiritual director for many years, now opens her tender heart to us by sharing stories about her childhood. These are the experiences of Iris' life, long before she studied the lives of spiritual teachers and directors, and before she developed any of her teaching materials that have so enriched those who have been blessed to know her and learn from her. She shares these experiences with her typical wit and humor, describing what her Mama and Papa did, what they said to her, even how their faces looked at times as they talked to her, and how they each uniquely demonstrated God's truth, goodness and love. Mama was a staunch Catholic and Papa was a Methodist. Instead of expecting their differences to cause problems, Iris' parents approached life armed with God's love, which truly does overcome a multitude of imperfections.

Book excerpt: The bestselling author of Where the Heart Is returns with a heartrending tale of two children in search of a place to call home. Lutie McFee's history has taught her to avoid attachments...to people, to places, and to almost everything. With her mother long dead and her father long gone to find his fortune in Las Vegas, 15-year-old Lutie lives in the god-forsaken town of Spearfish, South Dakota with her twelve-year-old brother, Fate, and Floy Satterfield, the 300-pound ex-girlfriend of her father. While Lutie shoplifts for kicks, Fate spends most of his time reading, watching weird TV shows and worrying about global warming and the endangerment of pandas. As if their life is not dismal enough, one day, while shopping in their local Wal-Mart, Floy keels over and the two motherless kids are suddenly faced with the choice of becoming wards of the state or hightailing it out of town in Floy's old Pontiac. Choosing the latter, they head off to Las Vegas in search of a father who has no known address, no phone number and, clearly, no interest in the kids he left behind. Made in the U.S.A. is the alternately heartbreaking and life-affirming story of two gutsy children who must discover how cruel, unfair and frightening the world is before they come to a place they can finally call home.

Download or read book Forming Intentional Disciples written by Sherry A. Weddell and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we transmit a living, personal Catholic faith to future generations? By coming to know Jesus Christ, and following him as his disciples. These are times of immense challenge and immense opportunity for the Catholic Church. Consider these statistics for the United States. Only 30 percent of Americans who were raised Catholic are still practicing. Fully 10 percent of all adults in America are ex-Catholics. The number of marriages celebrated in the Church decreased dramatically, by nearly 60 percent, between 1972 and 2010. Only 60 percent of Catholics believe in a personal God. If the Church is to reverse these trends, the evangelizers must first be evangelized-in other words, Catholics-in-the-pew must make a conscious choice to know and follow Jesus before they can draw others to him. This work of discipleship lies at the heart of Forming Intentional Disciples, a book designed to help Church leaders, parish staff and all Catholics transform parish life from within. Drawing upon her fifteen years of experience with the Catherine of Siena Institute, Sherry Weddell leads readers through steps that will help Catholics enter more deeply into a relationship with God and the river of apostolic creativity, charisms, and vocation that flow from that relationship for the sake of the Church and the world. Learn about the five thresholds of postmodern conversion, how to open a conversation about faith and belief, how to ask thought-provoking questions and establish an atmosphere of trust, when to tell the Great Story of Jesus, how to help someone respond to God's call to intentional discipleship, and much more. And be prepared for conversion because when life at the parish level changes, the life of the whole Church will change.

Download or read book Mi vida con los santos written by James Martin and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Para el padre James Martin, SJ los Santos ¡son mucho más que estatuas de yeso, son amigos personales! En Mi vida con los Santos James Martin nos presenta una conmovedora experiencia respect a su relación con los Santos –desde María, la madre de Jesús, hasta San Francisco o la Madre Teresa− y la manera personal en la que ha side dirigido por los heroes de la Iglesia a lo largo de toda su vida. El padre James nos presenta vívidos y encantadores relatos de los Santos más populares, permitiéndonos ver no solo su santidad, sino su humanidad. A partir de esta experiencia descubrimos la llamada y posibilidad de vivir la santidad en nuestra propia humanidad. James Martin has led an entirely modern life: from a lukewarm Catholic childhood, to an education at the Wharton School of Business, to the executive fast track at General Electric, to ministry as a Jesuit priest, to a busy media career in Manhattan. But at every step he has been accompanied by some surprising friends—the saints of the Catholic Church. For many, these holy men and women remain just historical figures. For Martin, they are intimate companions. “They pray for me, offer me comfort, give me examples of discipleship, and help me along the way,” he writes. The author is both engaging and specific about the help and companionship he has received. When his pride proves troublesome, he seeks help from Thomas Merton, the monk and writer who struggled with egotism. In sickness he turns to Thérèse of Lisieux, who knew about the boredom and self-pity that come with illness. Joan of Arc shores up his flagging courage. Aloysius Gonzaga deepens his compassion. Pope John XXIII helps him to laugh and not take life too seriously. Martin’s inspiring, witty, and always fascinating memoir encompasses saints from the whole of Christian history— from St. Peter to Dorothy Day. His saintly friends include Francis of Assisi, Ignatius of Loyola, Mother Teresa, and other beloved figures. They accompany the author on a lifelong pilgrimage that includes stops in a sunlit square of a French town, a quiet retreat house on a New England beach, the gritty housing projects of inner-city Chicago, the sprawling slums of Nairobi, and a gorgeous Baroque church in Rome. This rich, vibrant, stirring narrative shows how the saints can help all of us find our way in the world.
Download or read book Profec As y Predicciones written by Noemí Aranda Aceves and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿En qué se basan los estudiosos del tema del fin del mundo para advertirnos y apurarnos a que tomemos precauciones? Los creyentes reconocemos que es posible el fin del mundo como lo conocemos porque las señales que la Biblia y los Mensajes Marianos dicen que lo anunciarán... ya las estamos viviendo. Otras culturas antiguas y videntes de todas las épocas también predijeron lo mismo y, sorprendentemente, se han venido realizando sus predicciones. Pero si Ud. es de los que no creen en nada de lo anterior, permítame decirle que, en la realidad actual, con estudios científicos y pruebas de ellos, se ha señalado que existen varias amenazas potenciales para la humanidad y que, de concretarse, efectivamente ACABARÍAN CON EL MUNDO COMO LO CONOCEMOS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We are called to acknowledge how beautiful, true and good it is to start a family, to be a family today... We are called to make known God's magnificent plan for the family...as we accompany them amidst so many difficulties." - Pope Francis, February 20, 2014 For Pope Francis, as for his predecessors Saint John Paul II and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, this is more than just talk. It is a rallying cry. This is the focus of the 2015 World Meeting of Families: Love is Our Mission: The Family Fully Alive. For Catholics everywhere, it is a time to renew our focus on the family, the "domestic church" - what it means, why it's important, how it fits in with God's plan for us, and how we can become who God created us to be. Here is a new, fresh, and insightful way to do just that. In Love is Our Mission, Spanish edition, you can easily explore Catholic teaching on marriage, family, sexuality, children, human dignity, and the sanctity of life. It's a guided tour through scripture and 2000 years of Church teaching in which you are awakened to the relationship God wants to have with you, the family, and ultimately the world. Self-reflection or group discussion questions bring the teachings home in a very real and practical way. As Pope Francis has said, we must, "keep before us the beauty of the family and marriage, the greatness of this human reality which is so simple and yet so rich..."

This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacob Malloy was a strong, energetic lad of thirteen who lived with his family in the small suburb of Baytown. His life was far from boring because school and church always provided plenty of activities. However, being of an inquisitive nature, Jake was ever ready for something new and different. He was intrigued by an old, abandoned warehouse near the railroad tracks. What it had been used for originally, he had no idea, but he was itching to get inside and look around. Surely, there must be something of interest in that old building! Any chance of his being able to satisfy his curiosity, however, seemed nonexistent because the windows were boarded up. Imagine his surprise when one Saturday on his way to his friend's house, he noticed that one of the boards had come loose and was hanging by a nail! This was an opportunity not to be missed! He convinced his friend, a rather reluctant Joe Reilly, to accompany him on this adventure. Together, they managed to open the window and squeeze through it. The boys found that though seemingly abandoned, the building was not vacant! Their adventure turned deadly when they were discovered and imprisoned! The story shifts back and forth from them to their frantic parents and friends and the efforts made to find them. There is a story within the story as friends, Robert and Jonathan, and their parents have an adventure of their own and make a life-changing discovery.
