Later, he took vows as a Redemptorist, was ordained a priest, and sent as a missionary to Brazil. He studied moral theology in obedience to his superiors. During World War II, he was conscripted by the German army and served as a medic. Although forbidden from performing priestly functions by the Nazi authorities, he brought the sacraments to Catholic soldiers. In 1954, he came to fame as a moral theologian with his three volume, The Law of Christ. The work received ecclesiastical approval but was written in a style different from the Manual Tradition. It was translated into more than 12 languages. Between 1949 and 1987, he taught Moral theology on Alphonsian Academy in Rome. He served as a peritus at the Second Vatican Council from 1962 to 1965, and was on the mixed commission which prepared the pastoral constitution, Gaudium et Spes.

Christian maturity as defined here, is the radical appreciation of one's own status in the eyes of God; it means that one knows one's SSJ Novitiate BX2350.2 H3214 dignity and freedom as a citizen of God's kingdom and subject of his law of love. Relating the Gospel to modern life, a leading moral theologian goes to the heart of what Christ expects from today's Christian. Who is Christ? No other person has had so great an effect on mankind. To neglect Sr Mary Cecilia Christ, therefore, is to neglect history. It is also a neglect of human feeling at its most profound level A product of the spirit of fraternal dialog (sprung from Vatican II) that should characterize relations between superiors of orders and those in SSJ Novitiate their charge, as well as between hierarchy and the laity.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin: (1 May 1881 – 10 April 1955) was a French idealist philosopher and Jesuit priest who trained as a paleontologist and geologist and took part in the discovery of Peking Man. He conceived the vitalist idea of the Omega Point (a maximum level of complexity and consciousness towards which he believed the universe was evolving) and developed Vladimir Vernadsky's concept of noosphere. Although many of Teilhard's writings were censored by the Catholic Church during his lifetime because of his views on original sin, Teilhard has been posthumously praised by Pope Benedict XVI and other eminent Catholic figures, and his theological teachings were cited by Pope Francis in the 2015 encyclical, Laudato si'. The response to his writings by evolutionary biologists has been, with some exceptions, decidedly negative. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was born in the Château of Sarcenat at Orcines, close to ClermontFerrand, France, on 1 May 1881. On the Teilhard side he was descended from an ancient family of magistrates from Auvergne originating in Murat, Cantal, and on the de Chardin side he was descended from a family that was ennobled under Louis XVIII. He was the fourth of eleven children. His father, Emmanuel Teilhard (1844–1932), an amateur naturalist, collected stones, insects and plants and promoted the observation of nature in the household. Pierre Teilhard's spirituality was awakened by his mother, Berthe de Dompiere. When he was 12, he went to the Jesuit college of Mongré, in Villefranche-sur-Saône, where he completed baccalaureates of philosophy and mathematics. Then, in 1899, he entered the Jesuit novitiate at Aix-en-Provence, where he began a philosophical, theological and spiritual career.

Karl Rahner: Karl Rahner SJ (5 March 1904 – 30 March 1984) was a German Jesuit priest and theologian who, alongside Henri de Lubac, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Yves Congar, is considered one of the most influential Roman Catholic theologians of the 20th century. He was the brother of Hugo Rahner, also a Jesuit scholar. Rahner was born in Freiburg, at the time a part of the Grand Duchy of Baden, a state of the German Empire; he died in Innsbruck, Austria. Before the Second Vatican Council, Rahner had worked alongside Congar, de Lubac, and Marie-Dominique Chenu, theologians associated with an emerging school of thought called the Nouvelle ThÊologie, elements of which had been condemned in the encyclical Humani generis of Pope Pius XII. Subsequently, however, the Second Vatican Council was much influenced by his theology and his understanding of Catholic faith.

"Only by reaching beyond ourselves can we come to our true selves; only by opening ourselves to the holy mystery at the center of our lives can SSJ Novitiate we become open to those lives in all their historical variety and promise."

A book that reveals the most about Rahner the man, the priest, the Jesuit, the theologian, and the Christian. Serves both as an introduction SSJ Novitiate to his thoughts and as last will and testament of the Father of Roman Catholic theology in the 20th century. Never before has the human race been so aware of its relationship with the world and the universe. These discoveries call into question many of the traditional ways in which death and dying have been understood. In the Christian tradition death has been understood as the separation of the soul from the body. Are these images of death including purgatory, Unknown place of atonement, resurrection as a resuscitation of our present physical bodies, and the second coming of Christ compatible with the present human understanding of who we are and what the world is? Karl Rahner, one of the great theologians in modern history addresses these concerns.

Henri Daniel-Rops: (Épinal, 19 January 1901 – Aix-les-Bains, 27 July 1965) was a French Roman Catholic writer and historian whose real name was Henri Petiot. DanielRops was the son of a military officer. He was a student at the Faculties of Law and Literature in Grenoble, receiving his Agrégation in History in 1922 at the age of 21, the youngest in France. He was a professor of history in Chambéry, then in Amiens and finally in Paris. In the late 1920s he began his literary career with an essay, Notre inquiétude (Our Anxiety, 1926), a novel, L'âme obscure (The Dark Soul, 1929), and several articles in journals such as Correspondent, Notre Temps and La Revue des vivants. Daniel-Rops, who had been brought up a Roman Catholic, had by the 1920s become an agnostic. In Notre inquiétude his theme was humanity's loss of meaning and direction in an increasingly industrialized and mechanized world. When he considered the misery and social injustice around him, and the apparent indifference of Christians to those they called their brothers, he questioned whether Christianity was any longer a living force in the world. The alternatives, however, did not seem any better. Marxism, for instance, claimed to concern itself with people's material well-being, but quite ignored their non-material needs, which for Daniel-Rops was unacceptable. In the 1930s he returned to the Catholic Church, having come to feel that, in spite of the shortcomings of Christians, it was only through Christianity that the technological age could be reconciled with humanity's inner needs.

Johannes B. Metz: As a teenager, Metz had been recruited in to the German military towards the end of the Second World War in 1944. Six months before the end of the war, he was captured by the Americans and sent to prisoner of war camps in Maryland and then Virginia. Following the war, he moved back to Germany and studied at the University of Innsbruck, producing dissertations on the philosophy of Martin Heidegger and the theology of Thomas Aquinas under the supervision of Karl Rahner. His experience in the war matches that of the German Calvinist theologian JĂźrgen Moltmann who would go on to write with Metz on political theology against a background of direct confrontation with Nazism.

In view of the modern confusions on the invisible world and the spirits which inhabit it, a better understanding of the theology of angels is important for Christians today. Two important errors related to angels are; the grouping of angels and demons together as mere personifications of psychological realities; secondly to seek enlightenment in the blind alleys of spiritism and theosophy. The plan from the author was to record what God has to say about Himself, to place religions and philosophies, the Old Testament and the New, theology and mysticism, in their proper relationship with the knowledge of God.

C. S. Lewis: (29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963) was a British novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian, broadcaster, lecturer, and Christian apologist. He held academic positions at both Oxford University (Magdalen College, 1925–1954) and Cambridge University (Magdalene College, 1954–1963). He is best known for his works of fiction, especially The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, such as Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain. Lewis and fellow novelist J. R. R. Tolkien were close friends. They both served on the English faculty at Oxford University, and were active in the informal Oxford literary group known as the Inklings. According to Lewis's memoir Surprised by Joy, he was baptized in the Church of Ireland, but fell away from his faith during adolescence. Lewis returned to Anglicanism at the age of 32, owing to the influence of Tolkien and other friends, and he became an "ordinary layman of the Church of England".[1] Lewis's faith profoundly affected his work, and his wartime radio broadcasts on the subject of Christianity brought him wide acclaim.

Søren Aabye Kierkegaard: (5 May 1813 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 11 November 1855[6]) was a Danish philosopher, theologian, poet, social critic and religious author who is widely considered to be the first existentialist philosopher.[7][8] He wrote critical texts on organized religion, Christendom, morality, ethics, psychology, and the philosophy of religion, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony and parables. Much of his philosophical work deals with the issues of how one lives as a "single individual", giving priority to concrete human reality over abstract thinking and highlighting the importance of personal choice and commitment.[9] He was against literary critics who defined idealist intellectuals and philosophers of his time, and thought that Swedenborg,[10] Hegel,[11] Goethe,[12] Fichte, Schelling, Schlegel and Hans Christian Andersen were all "understood" far too quickly by "scholars". Kierkegaard's theological work focuses on Christian ethics, the institution of the Church, the differences between purely objective proofs of Christianity, the infinite qualitative distinction between man and God, and the individual's subjective relationship to the God-Man Jesus the Christ,[14] which came through faith.[15][16] Much of his work deals with Christian love. He was extremely critical of the practice of Christianity as a state religion, primarily that of the Church of Denmark. His psychological work explored the emotions and feelings of individuals when faced with life choices.

Hans Kung: Küng was born in Sursee, Canton of Lucerne. He studied philosophy and theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome and was ordained in 1954. He continued his education in various European cities, including the Sorbonne. In 1960, he was appointed professor of theology at Eberhard Karls university, Tübingen, Germany. Like his colleague Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI), in 1962 he was appointed peritus by Pope John XXIII, serving as an expert theological advisor to members of the Second Vatican Council until its conclusion in 1965. At Küng's instigation, the Catholic faculty at Tübingen appointed Ratzinger as professor of dogmatic theology. In a 1963 tour of the United States, Küng gave the lecture "The Church and Freedom", receiving an interdict from The Catholic University of America, but an honorary doctorate from St. Louis University. He accepted an invitation to visit John F. Kennedy at the White House. Küng's doctoral thesis, "Justification. La doctrine de Karl Barth et une réflexion catholique", was finally published in English in 1964 as Justification: The Doctrine of Karl Barth. It located a number of areas of agreement between Barthian and Catholic theologies of justification, concluding that the differences were not fundamental and did not warrant a division in the Church. (The book included a letter from Karl Barth attesting that he agreed with Küng's representation of his theology.) In this book Küng argued that Barth, like Martin Luther, overreacted against the Catholic Church which, despite its imperfections, has been and remains the body of Christ.[6] In the late 1960s, he became the first major Roman Catholic theologian since the late 19th century Old Catholic Church schism to publicly reject the doctrine of papal infallibility, in particular in his book Infallible? An Inquiry (1971).

Adian van Kaam and Susan Annette Muto: Van Kaam was born in The Hague, Netherlands in 1920. He joined the minor seminary of the Holy Ghost Fathers in Weert at the age of 12, professing his vows on August 29, 1940. He was at major seminary in Gemert in 1940, during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. While on retreat in the western Netherlands in 1944, Van Kaam was trapped behind Nazi front lines following Operation Market Garden. He hid in a barn while enduring the "hunger winter" of 1944, during which the Dutch were forced to subsist on turnips, potatoes and toxic tulip bulbs, an experience that had a permanent deleterious effect on his health. Although starving himself, Van Kaam made efforts to find food to take to Jews and others in hiding. After his ordination as a priest on July 21, 1946, in Gemert, Van Kaam became a seminary professor, his health being too frail to allow him a life as a missionary. He led a series of classes on faith for young adults with the assistance of a Belgian mentor, Maria Schouwenaars. Eventually, at the behest of Msgr. Giovanni Battista Montini, later Pope Paul VI, Van Kaam was invited to teach these classes full-time. In 1954, Van Kaam was sent to teach faith formation at Duquesne University, a Spiritan university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Upon arrival, however, he discovered that he was being asked to replace a deceased psychology professor. He had no background in psychology, so he was sent to obtain a degree in the subject. Travelling throughout the United States, he would study the subject under both Carl Rogers and Erik Erikson. Van Kaam earned a doctorate in philosophy from Case Western Reserve University, writing his dissertation on "The Experience of Really Feeling Understood by a Person." He became an American citizen shortly afterward. He then began his teaching career at Duquesne. After an accrediting agency objected to his courses, which combined psychology and religion with a "phenomenological air", Van Kaam returned to his background in spiritual direction in 1963. The university created the "Institute of Man," later renamed the Institute of Formative Spirituality, as a venue for Van Kaam's unique approach. The institute would have a role in the post-Vatican II "reshaping" of Catholic spirituality. In 1980, he suffered a near fatal heart attack but continued writing and working. He founded the Epiphany Association in 1988 in an effort to bring Catholic spirituality to lay people. The Institute of Formative Spirituality was closed in 1995 due to financial reasons,[4] and Van Kaam, with the assistance of a colleague, Dr. Susan Muto, continued his work with the Epiphany Association in the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Beechview. He received an honorary Doctorate of Christian Letters from the Franciscan University of Steubenville in 1994. Van Kaam retired to the Spiritan priests' retirement home in Bethel Park in 2004. He died on November 17, 2007, in the nursing home of the Little Sisters of the Poor in Pittsburgh's North Side, and was buried in Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Peters Township, Pennsylvania.

Rabbi Lazarus wanted his son Francis to become a shining light in Israel. God had other ideas. Francis was destined to shine, however, not in the household of Judaism, but across broader stretches of the outer world, a veritable light shining unto the revelation of the Gentiles. In his times an entire continent lying at the very gate of Europe still lived in the darkness of idolatry and despair. He became its apostle. Because of him and his followers, great sections of Africa are dark no longer.

Henri Nouwen: (January 24, 1932 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; September 21, 1996) was a Dutch Catholic priest, professor, writer and theologian. His interests were rooted primarily in psychology, pastoral ministry, spirituality, social justice and community. Over the course of his life, Nouwen was heavily influenced by the work of Anton Boisen, Thomas Merton, Rembrandt, Vincent van Gogh and Jean Vanier. After nearly two decades of teaching at academic institutions including the University of Notre Dame, Yale Divinity School, and Harvard Divinity School, Nouwen went on to work with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities at the L'Arche Daybreak community in Richmond Hill, Ontario.

John Main: Essential Writings
2002
Abstract To learn to meditate is to begin the process of making vital contact with the source of all being, the source of all life, and the source of all energy. We have to discover that this creative source is found in our being, life, and energy In this book we meet the man who discovered an ancient form of contemplative prayer rooted in the Gospel, the Letters of St Paul, the teachings of the 4th century Desert Fathers, and the English spiritual classic; The Cloud of Unknowing Christian meditation taught by Main is a tradition which draws on the ancient wisdom of the Bible, the Hindu Upanishads, and the early Christian Desert Fathers. This collection draws the essence of all his teachings into one volume. "By turning aside from everything that is passing, that is contingent, we seek not just to think about God but to be with God, to experience Him as the ground of our being." For him the practice of meditation reveals a center which unifies all the many dimensions of our personal and communal experience.

Adrienne Von Speyr: Adrienne von Speyr (20 September 1902 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 17 September 1967) was a Swiss Catholic physician, writer and theologian. She was the author of over 60 books of spirituality and theology, and a mystic and stigmatist. A very bright student, Speyr occasionally substituted for one of her teachers who suffered from asthma. It was in her religion classes that she began to sense the emptiness of the Protestantism that was being offered to her.[2] At the age of nine she gave a talk to her classmates about the Jesuits, believing that an angel had told her "that the Jesuits were people who loved Jesus totally, and that the truth of God was greater than that of men, and as a result one could not always tell people everything exactly as one understands it in God".[3] She later told Father von Balthasar that when she was six years old she had a mysterious encounter with St. Ignatius while walking up a steep street on Christmas Eve.

An eyewitness account experienced in 27 years of close collaboration Von Balthasar, Hans with von Speyr. At the time of her death 37 of her books were in print. Urs Contains a short account of her life, a description of her charism and an overview of her works both published and unpublished. Short lumina (or insights) are the fruits of her constant quest for an even Von Speyr, Adrienne deeper union with God shown in her life by her great compassion for her many medical patients. A call is always from the Lord. He knows all the world's roads and the needs of all engaged upon them. He continues to work redemption by calling persons to him in this task. That they should help, however, is not Von Speyr, Adrienne what first becomes apparent from the call. God calls and man has only to listen. The ear God has given man is capable of hearing His call. First German publication 1955 When we read the account of the Lord's life, we can observe how Christian teaching gains an ever fuller intensity in the final stages of His Von Speyr, Adrienne life. No one can say at what point the Gospel begins to be a word from the Cross. It is clear that the closer the Cross approaches, the more it becomes the center of everything. Mary, in assenting, renounces herself, makes herself nothing, in order to let God alone become active in her. She resolves to let God work alone; Von Speyr, Adrienne and yet, precisely by virtue of this resolution, she becomes cooperative. For cooperation with the action of grace is always the fruit of renunciation. First German edition published in 1948.

Abstract In 1945 Balthasar asked her for a written description of her life that at the same time make her inner development comprehensible. Her concern lay primarily with inner development, with the way that both pleasant and difficult experiences became significant for later decisions. In 1908 she writes of an encounter with Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Original French publication 1978. Edited with a Preface by Hans Urs von Balthasar. With the genesis of the world, the Father reveals himself as creator of all things: through he act of creation he manifests who he is. But he was present before creation, together with the Son and the Spirit in an essential unity. On the cross there was no comfort for the Lord in the thought that the breakup taking place now of what he had begun on earth will be completed at another level precisely through the suffering. He has to depart from His disciples, and he recognizes how imperfect he leaves them behind. The Holy Mass is both the means and sign through which the Lord bequeaths us his love. His whole life was a Eucharist to the Father, and it is in this, his Eucharist, that he wants to include all His people. Christian thanksgiving is fulfilled in and cannot be separated from the wholeness of the love of the Lord. "Ecce ancilla". With these words Mary calls everyone into service. She is the chosen one, the one visited by the angel. Yet she would like to understand her service in such a way that, through her, it includes all faithful. Written by Hans Urs von Balthasar. A reflection on the mystery of the redemption meant to prime the Christian faithful to say Yes to a share of Christ's Cross.

Hahn, Scott
Reveals a lost secret of the Church: The early Christians' key to understanding the Mass was the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. Few Catholics realize the link between the celebration of the Eucharist and the end of the world. The Eucharist was given to us by Christ on the eve of His death and this book is based on the eschatological interpretation of the Eucharist by the Eastern Fathers of the 2nd to 6th centuries; that the Eucharist is the heavenly worship spoken of in Revelation.

Hahn, Scott
Hahn tells us in prose why he loves and honors the Virgin Mary and why we should love and honor her. Like St Therese, he finds Mary's role revealed in the gospels, his search goes beyond them. He is a believer in the Principle of St Augustine that the New Testament is concealed in the Old, and the Old revealed in the New. He finds Mary foreshadowed in the Old testament, especially in Eve, the mother of all the living, in the ark of the covenant, and in the queen mother of the Davidic reign.

"My people, today I call down upon you My Spirit. Be open to what I teach you. Know that broken hearts will be mended; enmities will be melted and healed. Receive My Spirit. Be filled with My Love." One significant piece of the healing ministry is revealed in scripture. One of the main themes of the New Testament is healing-God wants us well. OT theology was that God sends suffering, pain, then healing. In the NT Jesus redefined this notion. He told us the suffering does not come from God, healing does!

A small pamphlet of music. Songs of Love and comfort about trusting in our Lord. A series of stories of people overcoming ridicule and suffering through the light of God. A small pamphlet of music. Songs of Love and comfort for our Lord in His suffering today Now is the time when we can experience the greatest fulfillment of our lives by becoming comforters of God, who attuned to His heart, are ever sensitive to the sound of His lamenting, the expressions of His suffering love. An address given at St Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney, Australia, 1981 Reminds God's people of the need for a continuing attitude of repentance. AN ongoing repentance is an earmark of a Christian and the basis for true joy. Based on Scripture, exposes the sinister, destructive purposes of Satan and his demon hordes for mankind. Also she depicts the ministry of God's angels. Angels are constantly around us, helping, protecting and guiding. Tracing the life of Mary, Schlink challenges us to a closer walk with Jesus. For have we ever considered that Jesus' first disciple was His own mother? It was Mary that shared the hardships of His early years and later followed Him to the Cross. Never are we so dear to our heavenly Father than when we are undergoing trials and tribulations. He brings us up carefully, desiring only the best for us. If we trust in Him He has prepared a wonderful outcome.

Strong in the Time of Testing Nature Out of Control? When God Breaks His Silence
Makes the Gospel accounts of Jesus' ministry by the Sea of Galilee come alive. Some people lose themselves in worrying when their wishes and demands are not fulfilled, They consider these desires to be essential to life, whereas in fact they are not. A simple question can help. Is it God's will that I be concerned about this particular thing? Includes prayers of strength and faith. In Jesus we can find all the grace we need to stand the test of suffering. We are not the product of random forces but children of a loving Creator God, who controls all events and history while respecting our free will. He tries to get our attention to spare us worse calamities.

Revisits three canticles with insight and reflections. The Gospel of Like presents us with The Magnificat, the Gloria, and the Nunc Dimittis. The mysteries and experiences of the birth and childhood of Jesus become the object of contemplation: the annunciation and visitation through the canticle of Mary, the birth of Jesus through the canticle of the Angels, and the presentation through the canticle of Zachary. A series of meditations on Christ: two are devoted to the humanity of Christ, two to his divinity, and two to his unity of person. Concludes with an evaluation of the theses recently advanced in so-called new Christologies. What should we do to practice what the Holy Spirit wished to communicate to us through Mary? The best answer we can give is not devotion to Mary but imitation of her.

Provides exegesis and commentary on the Gospel according to John, pertaining to baptism of Jesus in the Jordan by John the Baptist and how that relates to our understanding of Christian baptism. Discusses why and how the Liturgy of the Word is "nothing other than the liturgical actualization of the preaching of Christ." Present the mystery of Pentecost, starting from the interpretation given it by Luke in Acts, John in his Gospel, and Paul in his Letters. By examining three points of view he obtains a three dimensional image of the coming of the Spirit. You are not alone in the dilemma of the struggle to share the faith with friends and family. Drawing on the annals of Church history, the author shows how to take up the challenge of evangelization and bring our loved ones back to Jesus.
