Fifty-two readings to spark weekly group discussion on putting
Jesus' most central teachings into practice. Jesus' most famous
teaching, the Sermon on the Mount, possesses an irresistible
quality. Who hasn't felt stirred and unsettled after reading these
words, which get to the root of the human condition? This follow-up
to the acclaimed collection Called to Community: The Life Jesus
Wants for His People taps an even broader array of sources,
bringing together prophetic voices from every era and a range of
traditions to consider the repercussions of these essential words.
More than a commentary or devotional, this book is designed to be
read together with others, to inspire communities of faith to
discuss what it might look like to put Jesus' teachings into
practice today.
The book throws light on the nature of various inner powers which
we already possess and use more or less unconsciously, as well as
with latent powers within, which are as yet undeveloped. The book
is of interest to the general reader as well as to the spiritual
seeker.
Dealt with herein are the diverse forces which act on us,
determining the course of events, influencing our thoughts,
feelings and actions, affecting our moods, health and level of
energy, pulling the human being to nether depths or beckoning him
towards lofty heights. Also shown are the hidden forces behind
evolution and the universal action.
During her lifelong service to the poorest of the poor, Mother
Teresa became an icon of compassion to people of all religions, and
none. Her selfless commitment to the care of the sick and the
dying, as well as to thousands of others who no one else was
prepared to help, has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the
world. Yet this impressive collection of her writings shows a
different and unexpected picture of the Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Her absolute conviction that she was doing God's will is well known
but what is a revelation is the discovery that she fulfilled her
mission in spite of feeling a chasm of spiritual emptiness within
her, which lasted for decades. This book is a moving chronicle of
her spiritual journey and it reveals the secrets she shared only
with her closest confidants. It also illustrates how the experience
of an agonizing sense of loss need not hold anyone back from doing
something extraordinary with their lives.
This historic work reveals the inner spiritual life of one of
the most beloved and important religious figures in history.
During her lifelong service to the poorest of the poor, Mother
Teresa became an icon of compassion to people of all religions; her
extraordinary contributions to the care of the sick, the dying, and
thousands of others nobody else was prepared to look after has been
recognized and acclaimed throughout the world. Little is known,
however, about her own spiritual heights or her struggles. This
collection of her writing and reflections, almost all of which have
never been made public before, sheds light on Mother Teresa's
interior life in a way that reveals the depth and intensity of her
holiness for the first time.
Compiled and presented by Fr. Brian Kolodiejchuk, M.C., who knew
Mother Teresa for twenty years and is the postulator for her cause
for sainthood and director of the Mother Teresa Center, MOTHER
TERESA brings together letters she wrote to her spiritual advisors
over decades. A moving chronicle of her spiritual
journey--including moments, indeed years, of utter
desolation--these letters reveal the secrets she shared only with
her closest confidants. She emerges as a classic mystic whose inner
life burned with the fire of charity and whose heart was tested and
purified by an intense trial of faith, a true dark night of the
soul.
Published to coincide with the tenth anniversary of her death,
MOTHER TERESA is an intimate portrait of a woman whose life and
work continue to be admired by millions of people.
Although little is known about Elizabeth Dabney's youth, she often
said she learned the value of prayer from her mother, who always
kept a family altar in their home. Mother Dabney sat down and
documented for the world, her detailed thoughts and experiences
about really living a life devoted to prayer and what the resulting
effects would be to personal ministry.

The unassuming title "Home for Good" and the original motivation
Mother Loyola had in writing this book-that is, to help young
ladies who were finishing boarding school to make the right choices
in life-both utterly belie the groundbreaking significance of its
content. While Mother Loyola's King of the Golden City is charming
and entertaining; while her catechesis books are both informative
and inspiring; and while her devotional works are unparalleled in
their ability to reach the hearts of their readers, Home for Good
is a rock on which an unshakable faith can be built amidst the
storms and calms of everyday life.
Having spent most of her adult life in educating young ladies,
Mother Loyola was intimately familiar with the character of youth
as well as the challenges young people face when confronted with
the temptations of worldliness. Though this book was written with
her young charges in mind, it is no less relevant to young men, who
endure the same enticements-and in our own culture, perhaps even
greater ones. It is a clarion call to young Catholics to hold fast
to their faith and morals in a world that seeks to destroy that
faith at every opportunity. Readers of all ages, both male and
female, have equally to gain by reading from this book regularly.
