Holiness Through Work
Work is a fundamental element of human life that claims much of our time. Consider Jesus' 30 years as a carpenter under the tutelage of St. Joseph! Our natural tendency can be to often curse or shirk its presence in life, instead of recognizing its true value as a source of personal development, improvement of society, and means of holiness and apostolate. The core part of the book is a dialogue between numerous scholars and Msgr. Fernando Ocá riz about the message of St. Josemarí a Escrivá , one of the great teachers of modern spirituality, who has taught us to sanctify work, to sanctify oneself at work, and to sanctify others through work. Use these words to reflect on the meaning of work in your own life and to learn how to change your perception of work as a burden into work as a source of sanctification.
Our Lives in His Hands
One of the young men who accompanied St. Josemaría Escrivá on his escape to freedom during the Spanish Civil War was Tomás Alvira. He wished to follow the founder of Opus Dei in a life of apostolic dedication, but as a married, rather than a single, person. St. Josemaría advised him to wait and, at the right time, he could become part of Opus Dei as well as be a family man with wife and children, which happened within 10 years. Our Lives in His Hands by Olga Marlin is the story of the life and adventures of Tomás and his wife Paquita , who raised a large family and whose cause of holiness is now progressing through the approval process of the Catholic Church.
False Dawn
The interfaith movement, which began with the 1893 World¿s Parliament of Religions in Chicago, has grown worldwide. Although this movement has been largely unknown to the public, it now provides a spiritual face for globalization, the economic and political forces leading us all from nationalism to ¿One World¿. The most ambitious organization in today¿s interfaith movement is the United Religions Initiative (URI), founded by William Swing, the Episcopal Bishop of California. Investigative reporter Lee Penn, a Catholic ex-Marxist, exhaustively documents the history and beliefs of the URI and its New Age and globalist allies, the vested interests that support these movements, and the direc...
Deep Friendship
The value of a true friend seems a unanimous declaration: a friend is " someone who knows all about you and still loves you" (Elbert Hubbard) and " the most precious of all possessions" (La Rochefoucauld); friendship is " a single soul dwelling in two bodies" (Aristotle), " the only cement that will ever hold the world together" (Woodrow Wilson). And yet, the statement that gets at the heart of Ugarte' s book Deep Friendship belongs to Plutarch, who says: " A constant friend is a thing rare and hard to find." This is especially true in today' s world, in which we are constantly surrounded by people, but seldom experience deep friendship. The concept and value of friendship has become, more than ever, a rare treasure. What seems a simple task— that of finding a true friend who cares, respects, and deeply appreciates you— can be harder than expected. In his book, Deep Friendship, Ugarte shares not only how to find a good friend, but how to be one. These attributes of true friendship lead to great benefits, including a more genuine happiness and a greater union with God.
Choosing Happiness
St. Josemarí a once wrote, " Our Lord does not expect us to be unhappy in our life on earth and await a reward only in the next life. God wants us to be happy on earth too, but with a desire for the other, total happiness that only he can give." Our lives are full of highs and lows, successes and struggles, joys and sorrows. We are called to live with a happy heart alongside it all. But it is not enough to want to be happy: we must learn to be. Fr. Francisco will help you to discover happiness regardless of life' s circumstances, by uniting your heart with the heart of God. In Choosing Happiness, you will be given the knowledge and the tools to embrace and live out an all-encompassing happiness — a daily fulfillment— that ensures joy now as well as in the afterlife.
Praying 15 Days with St. Josemaria Escriva
This collection of meditations brings the reader inside the mind of St. Josemaria Escriva as he prays. It draws from St. Josemaria’s expansive body of work and author Fr. Guillaume Derville's personal experiences as a friend and follower of St. Josemaria. This collection weaves a fascinating portrayal of how St. Josemaria entered into the Gospels to develop personal relationships with Jesus, Mary, and others. "It is exciting that these meditations will now be available in English. They bring alive the explosive and transforming Love contained in the Gospels." -Translator Justin Gillespie St. Josemaria Escriva was born in Spain in 1902 and was ordained a priest in 1926. In 1928, he received the divine inspiration to found Opus Dei, a Catholic organization of lay people and priests who try to grow close to God through their ordinary lives. St. Josemaria died in 1975 and was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2002.
