Description:
He played video games, excelled athletically and academically, manifested contagious joy and wit, even in suffering, and befriended all those he met. St. Carlo Acutis (1991?2006), already hailed "the greatest saint of the century," was a Thomas Aquinas in blue jeans.
In this interview, you will join Antonia and Andrea retrace the path they walked with Carlo and share fascinating moments in his life in which his faith matured, including the plan of life that he developed for himself on the day after his First Holy Communion. These stories show how very ordinary their life together was, how common and within reach, and how extraordinary it became once this young man opened wide his arms to God in his life.
Carlo, who was beatified on 10 October, 2020, by Pope Francis will be canonised by Pope Leo XIV on 7 September, 2025.

Description:
Pier Giorgio Frassati is situated in the social and political upheaval of early-twentieth-century Italy. The Roman Catholic Church read the warning signs of atheistic Marxism; Mussolini filled Italy's political vacuum with fascists; and Rome was still Italy's disputed capital.
The biography draws from a synopsis of selected letters and witness accounts, revealing Pier Giorgio's increasing engagement with the world around him, shaped by his spiritual life. Pier Giorgio belonged to an upper-middle-class family and his parents transmitted fundamental values of truth, courage, and justice. However, they did not share his religious zeal. Pier Giorgio was concerned about helping the poor in the slums of Turin, the needy German students in Berlin, but especially in contributing to world peace. He died at the age of twenty-four.
Country is central to so much of First Nations Culture. It is past, present, future. Storytelling and song.

In this 2020 updated edition, Walter Brueggemann and Tod Linafelt introduce the reader to the broad theological scope of the Old Testament, treating some of the most important issues and methods in contemporary biblical interpretation. The text focuses on the literature of the Old Testament as it grew out of religious, political, and ideological contexts over many centuries in Israel's history.
The authors cover every book in the Old Testament and demonstrate the development of theological concepts in biblical writings from the Torah through post-exilic Judaism. Incorporating the most current scholarship, they also include concrete tips for doing close readings of the Old Testament text. A chapter is included on ways to read Scripture and respond in light of pressing contemporary issues, such as economic inequality, racial and gender justice, and environmental degradation.
This introduction invites readers to engage in the construction of meaning as they venture into these timeless texts.

Description:
These meditations draw on the author's study of scripture and his deep monastic experience, as well as on his many pilgrimages to India and his immersion in the spiritual wisdom both of Asia and the Christian West.
Cyprian Consiglio, OSB Cam., is a Camaldolese Benedictine monk, musician, composer, author, and teacher. He has shared his time between a hermitage in Big Sur, CA, and traveling in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, studying, teaching, and performing. After retiring from his office as prior of his community, he currently lives in Rome, serving as Secretary General for Monastic Interreligious Dialogue (DIMMID).
"This is a delightful, deeply inspiring book. Cyprian Consiglio brings his profound theological wisdom and rich interreligious spirituality to weave together Western and Asian traditions into twelve wonderfully enlightening meditations on key Christian themes like baptism, eucharist, vocation, prophecy, and church. I intend to give this book as a gift to my closest friends, with the hope that it will inspire them as much as it has inspired me." - Stephen B. Bevans, professor emeritus, mission and culture, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago
Saint Gertrude the Great (1256-c1301) has been called the Herald of Divine Love. She was a prayerful person, an inspired poet and mystic. She had a style and sensitivity to beautiful imagery and a unique way of conversing with God. Above all she was capable of being swept away by her passionate nature and devotion to the Heart of Jesus.
Gertrude's unique and personal relationship with Jesus which she expresses in prayer in her spiritual Exercises is the focus of the first part of this book. In the second part, the author converses with Gertrude about each of her seven spiritual Exercises.

Description:
Christian de Cherge was the prior of the Trappist community of Our Lady of Atlas in Tibhirine, Algeria, until his assassination with six of his fellow monks in 1996. Drawn from the last two years of his life, these chapter talks to his brothers offer deeper insight into the monastic search for God in community during tumultuous times.
These talks are a treasury of inspiration for those interested in Benedictine spirituality. They are a valuable source of reflections on Muslim-Christian relations to accompany those who engage in religious encounter in a pluralistic environment.
"God for All Days is a welcome step in making more of the writings of the Tibhirine community available in English. More please!" - The Rev. Dr. Jane Foulcher, Charles Sturt University.
