Marys Journey is an outstanding example of how the traditions of the past open up possibilities for the future. The book is attentive to the findings of current biblical scholarship about the role of Mary in each of the four Gospels to the historical context of the various Mariological doctrines, to the psychological subtleties of Marian devotions, and to the ways in which Marian liturgical celebrations nourish the human spirit. But it does not stop there. It uses this considerable sophistication to unravel the religious meaning that Mary has in the lives of believers. In Mary's Journey we are not inundated with mere information. We are treated to revelation, how the story of Mary uncovers our own relationship to God and other people. We begin to understand the persistence of the Christian poets that Mary not only bore Christ into the world long ago but also bears Christ into our hearts today.

Mary's Journey

Louis J. Cameli

Mary's Journey is a meditation on Mary in the life of the Bible, in the teachings of the Church, and in our life of worship and devotion. It outlines the journey of faith by the most beloved female figure in the Catholic faith tradition. It reflects the best of contemporary scholarship and theological insight. A collection of well-known Marian prayers appear at the back of the book. Father Cameli writes: "I invite you to share in this meditation. Together we will certainly recognize the unique and privileged place of Mary in the story of salvation and in the Church. We will also see her setting a pattern for our journey and accompanying us along the way. My hope is that you, the reader, will return to your own image of Mary, the Mother of God, and find her more alive and present to you than ever before."

Bread of Life: Exploring the Presence of Eucharist in Our Lives, by Fr. Louis Cameli, focuses on the role that the Eucharist takes in Catholic life. Fr. Cameli gives a personal account of the role of the Eucharist in his own life, explores what Jesus wanted to give us when he gave us the Eucharist by considering chapter six of John's account of the Gospel, and considers central human questions such as death and human sexuality through the lens of the Eucharist. Reflection questions are included so that readers may reflect on the book on their own or in discussion with others.

Amoris laetitia calls on the Church to minister in a different way to families. In this document, Pope Francis offers a new vision of pastoral care that insists that the Church has a mission to accompany, discern, and integrate families into the Body of Christ, no matter the challenges in their lives. In A New Vision of Family Life: A Reflection on Amoris laetitia, Fr. Louis J. Cameli helps pastoral staff understand how they can support families as they accompany them through difficulties, aid them in discerning their conscience, and integrate them into the parish community. The author shows that such support is vital if the Church is to form families as disciples. Fr. Cameli shows pastoral staff that they can help families see how God works in their lives, understand their experience in light of the Gospel, hear how God is calling them to conversion, and carry their conversion to a world in need. The book situates marriage and family life as a central focus for transformation in the Christian life. Questions at the end of each chapter help the reader reflect on how parishes can implement the vision in Amoris laetitia.
