Eric Doyle was a man of vision. It was a vision of Christ seen through the eyes of St. Francis of Assisi, which vision brought a unity and a dignity to all creation, as well as a fraternal connection with Christ, the first brother of all. This same vision led Eric to his fascination with Teilhard de Chardin on the one hand and his interest for mother earth and ecology on the other. In 1974, Eric's dream to return to Canterbury, the place where the Franciscan story in England began in 1224, was fulfilled., Eric alerted us to the wealth of the spiritual life, prayer, devotion, philosophy and theology that saturate our Franciscan heritage. He sought answers for contemporary in ecology, liberation theology, ecumenism and the place of women within the Church. On the 20yth anniversary of Eric Doyle's death, Josef Raischl and Andre Cirino present a collection of his extensive writings. This volume of more than 600 pages includes articles on Franciscan Spirituality; St Bonaventure's and John Duns Scouts' theology; Teilhard de Chardin; and various theological and spiritual themes, such as the theology of religious life or the future of the papacy. Thhroughout the text, the editors wove biographical notes, photos and memories of people who knew Eric.Includes audio CD with two of Eric's recorded talks.

"Franciscan Solitude" explores the historical and theological roots of the eremitical dimension of the Franciscan tradition. It includes important contextual and critical studies of Francis's "Rules for Hermitages". This book makes a significant contribution to contemporary Franciscan studies by drawing together theory and practice in an area where, even if resources have been sorely lacking, there has been a growing interest and deepening desire to follow Christ after the example and teaching of Francis of Assisi.

Journey into God by St. Bonaventure, Itinerarium Mentis in Deum, Translated by Josef Raischl OFS & André Cirino OFM Finally, a translation of Bonaventure's most popular work that is conducive for personal prayer and for actually embarking on the journey into God! While remaining faithful to the original work, the translators allow the Seraphic Doctor's spirit to come alive for the modern reader in a way that has not been done before in the English-speaking world. Richard Martignetti OFM, STD Immaculate Conception Province, New York Josef Raischl and André Cirino's translation of the Journey into God is a gift. It puts St. Bonaventure's Itinerarium Mentis in Deum in the hands of lay people who might otherwise find the text complicated and difficult to comprehend. It reads like poetry, yet does not dilute the meaning; rather, it enhances it. This is a valuable tool for ongoing formation for Secular Franciscans everywhere.

A Pilgrimage Through the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition

A Pilgrimage Through the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition. edited by Fr. Andre Cirino, OFM and Josef Raischl, OFS336 pages, The Franciscan Intellectual Tradition arose in the ferment of ideas of the 13th and 14th centuries. Questions of what makes an individual, what system of government is best for society, how should the economy be managed, what is the role of experiment in science, property rights and the rights of the individual in society - in short many of the questions that trouble our modern world - were debated with insight, integrity and passion in the context of a theology that was both profoundly orthodox and radical. The Franciscan Intellectual Tradition is not a monolith with a single answer to any problem, but a tradition of enquiry and openness rooted in the insights of the Poor Man of Assisi and his followers in Northern Europe. In the intellectual pilgrimage of this book we find a variety of approaches engendered by that spirit of enquiry and a tradition with the diversity and strength to continue to enlighten our pilgrimage through life today. Philippe Yates OFM, JCD, MA

During Advent, our sisters were re-acquainted with St. Bonventure's Five Feasts of the Child Jesus. The following weekend, fifty-one people, religious and laity, read, reflected on and prayed the Five Feasts. It gives me great satisfaction to know that more than one hundred people have become familiar with this document on spiritual motherhood, which, when embraced, changes the manner in which a person, who contemplates the Incarnate Word, will celebrate the feasts of Annunciation, Nativity, Holy Name of Jesus, Epiphany, and Presentation. Our Poor Clare monastery was in a process with a facilitator who suggested that we name the significant events of the past year. Close to the top of the list was last December's retreat on the Five Feasts. Since then, when other communities asked me to do something for a day of recollection or a directed retreat, I used the Five Feasts and it always has appeal. I thought that when one has the inspiration to do something with a work such as the Five Feasts and then creates a way of presenting it which involves a lot of labor and also the joy of sharing, it is good to know about the fruit it produces.
