Bernadette of Lourdes: A life based on authenticated documents

Darton, Longman, and Todd

This engaging book examines the invigorating presence of Mary in the mystery of the redemption that is as the heart of the life of the church. The author contemplates her presence in the course of Scripture, human and ecclesial history, the church fathers, the mystics, and others. He not only wants to transmit his love of the Virgin Mary, but the actualization of these words at the foot of the cross: "This is your mother."

In 1948, at about the same year Merton published his great work, The Seven Storey Mountain, his biography of Mother Berchmans (1876-1915), a French Trappistine, was also published. He had been inspired by her strength of spirit that enabled her to leave behind her beloved home in France in order to help grow the struggling Our Lady of the Angels Abbey in Hakodate, Japan. Though plagued by physical frailty and illness, she nonetheless maintained great exuberance and happiness for life that would enable her to build a thriving community independent of Europe. During World War II, when all Europeans were expelled from the monastery, it was still one of the largest Cistercian communities in the world. Of Mother Berchmans, Merton writes, It is necessary to explain that exile is something that must necessarily be endowed with a special poignancy for Cistercians who all make vows of Stability, at their professions. With us, it is a virtue to get attached to a single monastery, to sink our roots deep in the soil with the intention of never going away....Mother Berchmans had a gentle, tender, and affectionate heart, one that readily attached itself to persons and to places. It was a heart that loved all the most beautiful things in life, and which delighted above all in solitude and prayer. Mother Berchman s life was not unlike that of Thérèse of Lisieux, to whom she had a special devotion.

As a peritus at Vatican II and by the end of his life arguably the world's leading Mariologist, René Laurentin has earned the privilege of republication of a work of considerable value for any theologian who aims for comprehensiveness of Catholic theological perspective, historically and systematically. Laurentin's orthodox, yet highly original treatment displays his command of all of the relevant biblical, patristic, medieval and modern texts up to and including the entire proceedings of the Second Vatican Council, as well as the whole range of related historical and theological scholarship. His proposal to pursue Mariological speculation along two tracks - first, "from above," following the course of doctrinal development from biblical revelation to the VCII era, and second, "from below," considering Mary's own life (walking in her footsteps, as it were), from before the Annunciation to the Parousia - provides a clear, accessible structure for the work, yielding rich theological and spiritual fruit. Not only are all the major Marian doctrines and their developments handled with the greatest sensitivity, from the Virgin birth to the modern promulgations of Immaculate Conception and Assumption, but Laurentin's approach in his second part opens the way to a human-psychological treatment of motherhood, still solidly bolstered by traditional Christian anthropology. Regarding Mary's status as Mother of God, Laurentin's discussion of the Theotokos exhibits his deep ecumenical commitments, as much as his specific attention to Mary's soteriological role as a sticking point for Protestantism. One of the most striking qualities of the work is Laurentin's deft integration of his evident scholastic formation into an overarching vision thoroughly at ease with the phenomenological ("personalist") and existential currents in which he also inevitably swam throughout his education and professional scholarly occupation. As a result, the work can be read and appreciated instinctively, as it were, as much by the eclectic contemporary theologian, influenced by the likes of Heidegger, et al, as by the Thomist.

Has our faith changed?: Reflections on the faith for today's adult Christian

The alleged apparitions of Our Lady in the Yugoslav village of Medjugorje have become the focus of worldwide attention. Never before in history of the Church has the phenomenon of ecstasy been subjected to modern scientific tests. The visionaries willingly underwent electro-encephalographs, electro-oculographs, eye reflex tests and a study of evoked auditory responses. The conclusions reached are of the utmost importance in the debate surrounding the apparitions.
