In a series of stirring essays, Father Raniero Cantalamessa, who delivers weekly meditations during Advent and Lent in the presence of the pope, invites readers on a spiritual quest to find the living God. Combining traditional and contemporary wisdoms, Fr. Cantalamessa leads a symbolic ascent of Mount Sinai, "the mountain of God."

The Ascent of Mount Sinai : A Spiritual Journey in Search of the Living God

San Francisco es el hombre universal; en vida hablaba a todos, doctores e ignorantes, hasta, según la Leyenda franciscana, a los pájaros y al lobo. De Francisco no se puede hablar si no “franciscanamente”, en manera simple, directa y poética. Es conocida la pregunta que Fray Maseo dirige un día a quemarropa a Francisco: «¿Por qué todos a ti? ¿Por qué todo el mundo va detrás de ti?». El interrogativo se pone hoy con mayor razón: porque el mundo que va tras el santo, no es más, como en tiempo de Fray Maseo, el pequeño mundo de la Italia Central, sino literalmente todo el mundo, comprendidos muchos no creyentes y creyentes de otras religiones.

Franziskus ist der universale Mensch; zu Lebzeiten sprach er zu allen, den Gelehrten genauso wie den Ungebildeten, und der franziskanischen Legende zufolge sogar mit den Vögeln und dem Wolf. Über Franziskus kann man nur „ auf franziskanische Weise” sprechen, das heißt auf einfache und direkte Art; und für die, die es können, auch aufpoetische Weise. Bekannt ist die Frage, die Bruder Masseo eines Tages unvermittelt an Franziskus richtete: «Warum dir? Warum folgt dir die ganze Welt?». Diese Frage ist heute umso berechtigter, da die Welt, die sich für den Heiligen interessiert, nicht mehr nur die kleine Welt des Mittelalterlichen Italiens ist, sondern buchstäblich die ganze Welt, inklusive vieler Nichtgläubiger oder Gläubiger anderer Religionen.

Easter in the Early Church: An Anthology of Jewish and Early Christian Texts

Quigley, James M.

In four chapters Father Cantalamessa deals with each of four different aspects of poverty in the light of the Gospel message of Christ: Negative material poverty, an unfortunate social condition endured by far too many which is dehumanizing and must be combated; Positive material poverty, an evangelical ideal which liberates people from their inordinate attachments to the things of this world; Negative spiritual poverty, sometimes referred to as the poverty of the rich because it is characterized by the absence of spiritual wealth and of truly human values; and Positive spiritual poverty, otherwise known as the wealth of the poor, the finest blossom on the tree of biblical poverty. Following the example of St. Francis of Assisi the author shows how wealth, properly appreciated and used in the service of the poor, can actually be a source of blessing and peace.

Poverty

St.Pauls

We live in a cultural milieu in which it is no longer possible to have any confidence in external supports from society or the media to help one remain chaste - in the single state or in a life consecrated to God by vows. Today much depends on the strong personal motivations of the individual coupled with the grace of God and a heavy dose of common sense for one to live this lifestyle. Still it is not only possible to do so, but to do so with joy. This little book on celibacy and virginity for the sake of the Kingdom seeks to help create the kind of motivation necessary, drawing heavily on texts from the New Testament which address many of the problems and objections frequently leveled against the very idea of living chastely with the restraint, discipline and self

There is a kind of obedience which concerns superiors and subjects, religious and lay people alike, and it is not the obedience of man to man but the obedience of man to God. This is the obedience which sustains and makes acceptable all other kinds of obedience, to parents, to civil and religious authorities, to rules and to "every human institution". It is precisely in order to make this obedience to law and visible authority flourishing again that we must start from obedience to God and to his Word. Obedience is not in fact renewed by law, but by grace; not by the letter, but by the Spirit. It is the Spirit - that is, Grace - which alone can give man both the command and the capacity to obey. "Law was given so that we may seek grace; grace was given so that we may observe the law", says St. Augustine. It is therefore to the Spirit that we entrust ourselves, so that he may take us by the hand and guide us in our quest to rediscover the great secret of obedience.

Jesus Christ: The Holy One of God is a series of meditations on Christ: two are devoted to the humanity of Christ, two to his divinity, and two to his unity of person. Father Cantalamessa concludes with a critical evaluation of the theses recently advanced in certain so-called new Christologies.
