What does the paschal mystery mean in the context of the rite - past and present - and in Christian life and death?
These meditations present the mystery of Pentecost, from Luke in Acts, John in his Gospel, and Paul in his Letters. By placing these diverse but complementary points of view together, Cantalamessa provides priests, students, and interested lay people with a three-dimensional image of the coming of the Spirit, particularly suited to promote catechesis and devotion. Fr. Cantalamessa originally presented these meditations in his capacity as preacher to the papal household.
Chapters are "And They Began to Speak in Different Tongues: The Lukan Pentecost and the Spirit of Unity," "You Will...

The charismatic renewal is a sign of the continuing relevance of the Holy Spirit for the baptized and gives life and direction to the Church in its mission in the world. Appearing soon after the close of Vatican II, the charismatic renewal has been one of a number of movements of the Spirit in the Church marked by a call to holiness and evangelization.
"Cal to Holiness" gathers the wisdom within the renewal, thirty years after its beginnings, to help guide its continued life. This document evolved out of several years of consultation with leaders, theologians, and bishops associated with...

The world was startled in 2007 by revelations that Mother Teresa of Calcutta's spiritual life was full of serious doubts and personal suffering for nearly 50 years. The other great saint of the last half century - Padre Pio - offers similar revelations of his own in this enlightening collection of short excerpts from his letters. Many books have been written on the life and works of Padre Pio, but "Words of Light "is not a book about what others think or say about him. Here, he speaks for himself. If you are interested in the complexities and challenges of contemporary faith, you will...

Francesco e l'uomo universale; in vita egli parlava a tutti, dotti e ignoranti, perfino, secondo la leggenda francescana, agli uccelli e al lupo. Di Francesco non si puo parlare se non "francescanamente," in maniera semplice, diretta e, se possibile, poetica. E nota la domanda che frate Masseo rivolse un giorno a bruciapelo a Francesco: "Perche tutti a te? Perche tutto il mondo corre dietro a te?." L'interrogativo si pone oggi con piu ragione di allora, perche il mondo che va dietro al santo, non e piu, come al tempo di frate Masseo, il piccolo mondo dell'Italia centrale, ma letteralmente...

Francois est l'homme universel; pendant sa vie, il parlait a tous, savants et ignorants, et meme aux oiseaux et aux loups, selon la legende franciscaine. On ne peut pas parler de Francois sinon "franciscainement," c'est-a-dire d'une facon simple, directe et, autant que possible, aussi poetique. On connait la question que frere Masseo posa un jour a brule-pourpoint a Francois: Pourquoi tous viennent- ils a toi? Pourquoi tout le monde te coure-t-il apres?. La question se pose aujourd'hui a plus forte raison, parce que le monde qui est attire par St. Francois, n'est plus, comme au temps de frere...

Francisco e o homem universal; em vida ele falava a todos, doutos ou ignorantes, ate mesmo segundo a legenda franciscana, aos passaros e ao lobo. De Francisco nao se pode falar se nao "franciscanamente," de forma simples, direta e, se possivel, poetica. E notavel a pergunta que frei Masseo dirigiu um dia a queima-roupa a Francisco: Por que todos a voce? Porque o mundo inteiro esta correndo atras de voce?. A questao se poe hoje com mais razoes de outrora, porque o mundo que vai atras do santo, nao e mais, como no tempo de Frei Masseo, o pequeno mundo da regiao central da Italia, mas...

San Francisco es el hombre universal; en vida hablaba a todos, doctores e ignorantes, hasta, segun la Leyenda franciscana, a los pajaros y al lobo. De Francisco no se puede hablar si no "franciscanamente," en manera simple, directa y poetica. Es conocida la pregunta que Fray Maseo dirige un dia a quemarropa a Francisco: Por que todos a ti? Por que todo el mundo va detras de ti?. El interrogativo se pone hoy con mayor razon: porque el mundo que va tras el santo, no es mas, como en tiempo de Fray Maseo, el pequeno mundo de la Italia Central, sino literalmente todo el mundo, comprendidos muchos...
