"Ayez pitié, monsieur le Président." C'est par ces mots que l'évêque Mariann Edgar Budde, au lendemain de l'investiture de Donald Trump, a dans un acte exceptionnel de résistance demandé au Président de faire preuve de compassion envers ceux qui ont peur et craignent pour leur vie. Si ce sont la force et l'écho extraordinaires de ses paroles qui ont fait connaître Mariann Edgar Budde dans le monde entier, celles-ci sont le reflet d'une existence passée à penser le courage comme un défi quotidien et l'entreprise d'une vie. Apprendre le courage est le fruit de ces années de réflexion.

Rather than turning away from death, great saints such as Robert Bellarmine, the author of this book, use it as a lens through which to view life from the right perspective — God's perspective. Seen this way, death becomes for them — and can become for you — a source of spiritual liberation rather than a reason for fear, enabling you to love the world as it ought to be loved and to answer your final summons with joy. St. Robert Bellarmine makes it simple for you.

Te quiero, eres importante para mí, cuento contigo: amistad, afecto, aprecio, atención, cuidado, son deseos imprescindibles que nos unen y por los que el corazón siente una sed innata. El ser humano necesita amar y ser amado. De todos es sabido que compartir la bondad reduce las penas y contagia la alegría. El mandamiento del amor que nos dejó Jesús solo nos pide que amemos a los demás y a nosotros mismos de un modo auténtico, porque solo así nuestras vidas serán plenas, ricas y satisfactorias.

The Sexual Revolution—and the breakdown of the Family—has brought misery to millions. In The Sexual State, Jennifer Roback Morse shows that the Sexual Revolution did not just “happen” like a force of nature.

Coming to Light explores the practice and process of the clearness committee, a means of spiritual discernment used by Quakers that has also proved helpful to many others. The author shares her personal experience of clearness committees, first as a member of the Religious Society of Friends and then as a retreat leader for the Center for Courage & Renewal, which uses the clearness committee as the center of its practice. The pamphlet includes a sample format of a clearness committee and material that may be used as handouts.

Throughout the modern era, Galileo Galilei has been presented as a victim of cruel torture of conscience, theological narrow-mindedness, and ecclesiastical harassment typical of a dark, closed-minded Church. Frequently portrayed as such in theaters due to prevailing political ideologies, the story of Galileo points to the long-held tension between “science and faith,” “technology and ethics,” and “progress and the Church.” The story of the real Galileo, however, which has not been told—until now—is sure to rock the established narrative.

"God continues to speak today," says renowned French Jesuit writer Jean-Pierre de Caussade. Yet de Caussade explains that He doesn't always speak in ways we expect. His will isn't always revealed to us in a broad vision for our lives or overt direction. His voice and His will can be discovered in our everyday world as we give our lives to Him in complete trust and allow Him to work out His purposes for us.

No word in our language is more misunderstood than the word “heart.’ And almost no word is more important, for it refers to what is at the very center of our soul. We have mapped the outer world, in fact the whole universe, with amazing exactness . . . but we have neglected the world within. This new book by venerable Catholic thinker Peter Kreeft offers a map of that inner world, of the self. In it, he takes up the mantle of Dietrich von Hildebrand and plumbs the depths of that most misunderstood (by the world) and overlooked (by philosophers and theologians) part of the human being.

The smoke clears. The world watches. A name is announced. A man steps forward and the earth’s gaze falls upon him. We have a Pope! And his name is Leo XIV. But who is this 266th successor to St. Peter? What is the former Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost’s vision for the Church, and what impact will his papacy have on Catholics and on the world? Veteran Catholic journalist and historian Matthew Bunson offers the first authoritative portrait of the new Holy Father.

If your faith feels more like a dying ember than a radiant light, perhaps you haven’t met the real Jesus. At her core, Jessi felt dry and lifeless. Weary of anemic religion, she had almost given up on Christianity, until one day, she came face-to-face with the real Jesus whose eyes burn like fire!

In this bold, momentous work, the pope, in his first book written as Benedict XVI, seeks to salvage the person of Jesus from recent "popular" depictions and to restore Jesus' true identity as discovered in the Gospels. Through his brilliance as a theologian and his personal conviction as a believer, the pope shares a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of Jesus and incites us to encounter, face-to-face, the central figure of the Christian faith.

For too long, the popular understanding of Christian salvation has been limited to securing a place in heaven. Sadly, many Christ-followers experience constant defeat during their time on Earth. The biblical concept of salvation comes from the Greek word "Sozo" and has a holistic implication. Power and victory flowed through the New Testament Church because the early Christians understood how to live out their salvation in a way that impacted every area of their lives - spirit, soul, and body.

“If anyone knows how to be a pastor in the contemporary context that person is Eugene Peterson. Eugene possesses the rare combination of a pastor’s heart and a pastor’s art. Take and read!” (Richard J. Foster, author of Celebration of Discipline) “I’ve been nagging Eugene Peterson for years to write a memoir. In our clamorous, celebrity-driven, entertainment culture, his life and words convey a quiet whisper of sanity, authenticity, and, yes, holiness.” (Philip Yancey, author of What Good is God)

The Summa Theologica, by Thomas Aquinas, is a fundamental text in Catholic doctrine, a compendium of theology that has been studied and debated since its first publication in the 13th century. Furthermore, it has been widely regarded as one of the classics of Western philosophy, not least because, perhaps for the first time in such a systematic manner, it set out to consider the views of non-Christian figures such as Aristotle, Boethius, Muslim writers including Averroes (Ibn Rushd) and Avicenna (Ibn Sina) and the Sephardic Jewish scholar Maimonides.

Welcome to a truly unique book, penned with a security pen on paper within the walls of a small cell in Florida, where Torben found himself imprisoned. Accusations of weapons smuggling and human trafficking were thrown around, yet no formal charges were made. In this book, Torben shares his real-life experiences as they occurred-from moments of deep despair to unexpected joy, recognizing God's hand even in his darkest hour.

It has been famously pointed out that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, but it was also not an empire in the sense people expect when hearing the term, but it is clear that church clergy occupied a privileged place in medieval society. Europe had inherited Christianity from the Roman Empire, and the concept of a united Christendom and empire were practically synonymous. Indeed, there was no real consciousness of the Roman Empire ever having ended.
