Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. Daryl Charles argues that a traditional metaphysics of natural law lies at the heart of the present reconstructive project, and that a revival in natural-law thinking is of the highest priority for the Christian community as we contend in, rather than abdicate, the public square. Nowhere is this more on display than in the realm of bioethics, where the most basic moral questions--human personhood, human rights versus responsibilities, the reality of moral evil, the basis of civil society--are being debated. -- from publisher description.

Download or read book Finding God in Suffering written by Fr. Christopher M. Mahar and published by Pauline Books and Media. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is there so much suffering? How do I make sense of my pain? Father Christopher Mahar responds to these questions and more with empathy, conviction, and hope. Guided by the writings of Saint John Paul II and over twenty years of pastoral experience, Fr. Mahar unfolds the mysterious truth that “even in suffering, we can find love.” His short chapters, reflection questions, and prompts for prayer are a rich companion for those who are suffering and those who love them. -----I wish I didn’t need this book, but I do. We all do, because so much of life is occupied with suffering—grief, disappointment, physical pain, shame. Jesus Christ showed us the way through every ordeal, empowering us not only to endure, but to triumph. In these pages, Father Mahar shows us that way, helping us to understand it as he provides clear, practical spiritual guidance. —Mike Aquilina, executive vice-president, St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology; author, The Fathers of the Church; EWTN host -----Despite the “broken families, broken promises, and broken lives” all around us, [Father Christopher Mahar] effectively illustrates the astonishing Good News of our faith—that the “Gospel of Suffering” allows every trial to be a rich encounter with Christ and an opportunity to embrace a creative vocation radiating hope.—Genevieve Kineke, author and speaker on authentic Catholic femininity
Download or read book John Paul II and the Meaning of Suffering written by Robert Schroeder and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2008-03-10 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does a loving God allow us to suffer? Did we do something to deserve our suffering? Does our pain serve any purpose in God's plan? Suffering doesn't work like we think it should, striking down the wicked and sparing the righteous. And none of us, regardless of our age, I.Q., religion, or wealth, can avoid its sting. Now, for the first time, the spiritual wisdom of the modern world's most beloved Pope -- and the rich theology of suffering articulated in his apostolic letter, Salvifici Doloris -- is applied to the most pressing challenge of faith -- the problem of suffering. The world witnessed the dignity and grace that characterized his exterior dealings with pain, now let the Holy Father's words teach you about the interior aspects of suffering: how it can be your own vocation within God's plan of salvation.
Download or read book What Christ Suffered written by Thomas W. McGovern, MD and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Christ suffered during his Passion — for you — is a powerful source of reflection and meditation. While we know that Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem around A.D. 33, the details of his sufferings and death have been confused and obscured over the past two millennia. In What Christ Suffered: A Doctor’s Journey Through the Passion, Dr. Thomas W. McGovern provides the most accurate, up-to-date understanding of the physical sufferings of Jesus Christ, drawing on ancient Greek and Latin literature about crucifixion, discoveries of ancient images, archaeology, medical reenactment studies, and medical case reports. This volume corrects decades of myths and misunderstandings presented in books and articles and on websites — myths the author himself disseminated for years until he reanalyzed the data utilizing twenty-first-century advances in modern medicine and archaeological discoveries. This medical investigation of the Passion allows readers to enter more fully than ever into the reality of what Jesus suffered for our redemption. Drawing on the teachings of Pope Saint John Paul II in Salvifici Doloris, this book invites the reader to a deeper understanding of the meaning and value of human suffering — and how to practically apply it in their lives. By his sacrificial death on the cross, Jesus has won salvation for the whole world, redeeming even our sufferings through his incredible act of love. ABOUT THE AUTHOR A native of Escanaba, Michigan, Dr. Thomas W. McGovern completed his M.D. at Mayo Medical School. His eight years in the U.S. Army included two years of infectious disease and vaccine research and a dermatology residency at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center, Denver. He trained in Mohs surgery and Cutaneous Oncology at the Yale University School of Medicine and has practiced Mohs Surgery and Reconstruction for skin cancer in Fort Wayne since 2000. He serves on the Catholic Medical Association (CMA) national board and chairs the Young Member Advisory Committee. He is “living the dream,” cohosting Doctor, Doctor, the official weekly radio program of the CMA, which airs on EWTN and is available as a podcast. He and his wife of 30 years, Sally, are raising seven homeschooled children who gladly get a break from his “dad jokes” when he speaks at conferences.
Download or read book Suffering and the Mass The Great Exchange Catholic for a Reason III written by Jeff Cavins and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeff Cavins gives an answer to the perennial human question: why does a good God allow suffering? Through the lens of the Mass, and the suffering and sacrifice it re-presents, he shows how the suffering that we inherited through original sin can find meaning in the suffering of Christ. Suffering entered the world through Adam, but Christ came to give it meaning and the capacity to bear fruit. Through the greatest suffering ever endured – the Crucifixion – came the greatest gift: salvation to the world. So also, through our suffering – united to His – will come much good for us and for the whole world.
