What Is Opus Dei

Le Tourneau, Dominique

Religion & Spirituality

Saint Joseph passes through the Gospel without our hearing him utter as much as a single word. But God had selected him for a special mission: to look after two of the greatest treasures who have ever been on earth - Jesus and Mary. The figure of Joseph is also an incentive God has given us to stir up hope in the ordinary person. Joseph of Nazareth is a series of reflections on the life of Saint Joseph in the light of faith and based on revelation. At the end, the reader's love for and devotion to this great saint will have grown considerably. For Joseph, the last of the patriarchs, shows how any one of us can come to be a great saint.

Biographies & Memoirs

Federico Suarez At times, perhaps unconsciously, we are inclined to think that our Lady is more to be admired than imitated. In this book, Fr. Suarez, along with studying the life, character, thoughts and piety of our Lady, also compares her moral and religious attitude to our own, focussing special attention on certain specific problems - for instance, vocation in whatever state and condition we find ourselves. His deep analysis of all the gospel text tells us helps us to understand our Lady from both aspects: the supernatural and the human. In this way she appears to us in the right perspective, as a privileged person to whom much was given, but also from whom more was asked than from anyone else.
