  • - Recognizing Temptation, Battling Sin, and Growing in Spiritual Courage
    af Marlon de la Torre
    182,95 kr.

    All of us are faced with the daily onslaught of sin and temptation. We are all involved in a spiritual battle to keep our souls united with Christ so we can attain heaven.The Screwtape Letters and the Catechism brings together two wonderful and significant resources that can help us to grow in spiritual courage. Engaging the Catechism of the Catholic Church from a new perspective, against the backdrop of C. S. Lewis' classic The Screwtape Letters, this book will help you to recognize temptation and engage in the battle against sin. Following Lewis and the Catechism, you will learn how to use the teachings of Christ to outwit the evil one.In this book, each chapter of The Screwtape Letters is cross-referenced with the Catechism. By examining the dialogue between the demons Wormwood and Screwtape, we can apply Screwtape's lessons on temptation to our daily lives. The Catechism provides sound and reasonable explanations of the Catholic Faith, and these explanations debunk the methods of Screwtape. C.S. Lewis masterfully invites us into the diabolical world of Screwtape and Wormwood and the ever-present battle between good and evil. The Catechism, on the other hand, masterfully reveals the teachings of Jesus Christ as a living gift of the Church that shows us the love of God for his children.

  • - A Pastoral Reflection on Engagement with Social Media
     
    112,95 kr.

    Digital media can be used for good or for ill. As Christians, our use of social media should bear the mark of witness. Our engagement on social media should foster a spirit of encounter between neighbors, and, like the good Samaritan, we must tend to the digitally wounded and marginalized.Towards Full Presence is a pastoral reflection by the Vatican's Dicastery for Communication on our engagement in the digital world that provides clear guidelines for Christian behavior on social media."Great strides have been made in the digital age, but one of the pressing issues yet to be addressed is how we, as individuals and as an ecclesial community, are to live in the digital world as 'loving neighbors' who are genuinely present and attentive to each other on our common journey along the 'digital highways, '" writes the Dicastery.

  • - Catholic Philosophy for a Culture in Chaos
    af John-Mark L Miravalle
    162,95 kr.

    As baptized Christians, we are called to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. But that has become increasingly difficult in today's post-Christian culture, which has largely rejected God and Christian beliefs. This is the primary field where most of us are called to sow and harvest for the kingdom, and a culture antithetical to Christianity requires a different approach. Philosophy provides some common ground with the modern world as well as tools to think rationally about who we are and what we were made for.Thinking Clearly is your introduction to philosophy in the Catholic tradition and a guide to having difficult conversations about faith, morality, the human person, and more, using natural human insights.Philosophy is the study of what can be known by universal experience, so the ground from which philosophy starts is as common as you can get. Once you initiate a philosophical discussion, though, it's up to you to show how that discussion can end up at God. Ultimately, that's where good philosophy leads, and this book will help you get started.

  • - An Invitation
    af Josephine Garrett
    197,95 kr.

    Sr. Josephine Garrett, CSFN, is a woman full of hope, and she's here to help you find authentic hope in your life, too. What she offers is real hope -- not wishing on a shooting star or hoping you win the lottery, but the messy and risky kind. She also takes an unflinching look at the painful parts of hope, our struggles with hope, and our labors in hope.Authentic hope is powerful and life-giving. It appears foolish to man. But it is the foolishness of God, and "the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom" (1 Cor 1:25). Authentic hope shines light into complete and utter darkness.In HOPE: An Invitation, Sr. Josephine invites you to journey with her to new heights of hope, to discover the courage to press ahead into the unknown even in difficult or seemingly impossible circumstances. She shares her own struggles to live in hope amidst the circumstances of her life, and she reflects on the great problem and the great gift of hope. Ultimately, we must find our hope in the strength of the Lord, not in worldly promises, in which we deceive ourselves into thinking we can manifest good things in our life through our own strength. We need a hope that extends well beyond ourselves and into eternity -- a hope that comes from God, who not only has given us hope but allows us to spread this hope to others.

  • - Discovering the Bible
    af Robert Spitzer
    372,95 kr.

    Built into our very nature is a desire to know the world around us. The big questions of human existence are inescapable: Who am I? Why am I here, and where am I going? Why is there evil in the world? What is the meaning of life?This yearning for truth ultimately leads us to our Creator. God knows the longings of the human heart, and he reveals himself to us through creation, through Scripture, and ultimately through the Incarnation. Because God the Son became man, we have a person to look to in our pursuit of truth: Jesus Christ himself, who is Truth. Christ helps us see that truth is not just the object of science and reason but the reality that animates the mysterious and loving power of faith.In Science, Reason, and Faith, Fr. Robert Spitzer, SJ, explores in depth the Bible and the intersection of three realms that the secular world tells us are separate and incompatible. Fr. Spitzer draws the modern reader's attention to the many seeming conflicts between science, reason, and Catholic teaching. By tackling these difficult questions, he shows that it is precisely through the integration of science, reason, and faith that we can truly discover ourselves, our world, and our God.

    Did you know there is a Church-approved Marian apparition site in the United States? Marian apparitions are appearances of the Blessed Virgin Mary, coming down from heaven to earth, to one or more people. In 1859, Mary appeared three times to a young woman named Adele Brise in the Wisconsin frontier.During the third apparition, Adele froze in her tracks at the sight of a beautiful woman, clothed in dazzling white, with a yellow sash around her waist. She had a crown of stars around her head, and her long, wavy, golden hair fell loosely over her shoulders. The lady in white introduced herself to Adele as the Queen of Heaven. Today, people from all over the United States and the world visit the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion in Champion, Wisconsin, located on the spot where Mary appeared to Adele.Go and Fear Nothing brings to life for young people this incredible real-life story and Our Lady's message of praying for the conversion of sinners, learning our catechism, receiving the sacraments with devotion, and relying on her unfailing help. When we doubt ourselves or feel like we need to make excuses for our weaknesses, we can remember Our Lady's words to Adele: "Go and fear nothing. I will help you."

    A collection of essays from the Catholic Family Life Symposium in July 2019 sponsored by OSV Institute and held at the University of Notre Dame campus brings together internationally recognized theologians, social scientists, and pastoral ministry professionals to explore the renewal of Catholic family life.The contributors to this book explored four historic questions:How are Catholic parents and children called to relate differently to each other than their non-Catholic counterparts?What does an authentic domestic-church-based spirituality look like?How can Catholic families be more effective forges of intentional discipleship and do a better job of raising the next generation of intentional disciples?How can Catholic families fulfill their role to be the primary outposts of evangelization and positive social change?These questions are explored in a systematic way from a broad-based, interdisciplinary perspective. Readers will discover not only the challenges facing faithful families, but practical, empirically-based responses to those challenges, including the outline of the Liturgy of Domestic Church Life, a new model of family spirituality that allows families to bring Jesus home and experience the faith as the source of warmth in their homes.
