Discover God Daily

Seven Life-Changing Moments from the Journey of St Ignatius Brendan McManus SJ and Jim Deeds

One of the traps in the spiritual life is assuming that things will happen miraculously in one dramatic, unrepeatable moment. This book illustrates how the ‘slow work of God’ (Teilhard de Chardin), an unfolding of God’s plan for our lives over time, is a much more helpful and humanising way to look at faith.

Using seven distinct moments from the life of St Ignatius, the authors illustrate how God works through the unexpected twists and turns of life and how this process plays out over a number of years.

The Ignatian spirituality points from each are drawn out and explained in imagined conversations with God, reflections, scripture pieces and real-life applications. The authors have established a very popular style of conveying the essentials of Ignatian spirituality and readers will find the book both accessible and enjoyable.

Brendan McManus SJ works as a Spiritual Director and retreat giver in Belfast. Jim Deeds is a poet and author and works in Pastoral Ministry in the Diocese of Down and Connor.

Together they have written the awardwinning Finding God in the Mess and its follow-up, Deeper Into the Mess. This is their third book together.

The Ignatian Guide to Forgiveness Ten Steps to Healing M Berzins McCoy

Forgiveness is hard. But Jesus knows how much we need it.

True forgiveness can be complicated because the pain of betrayal, loss, deception, and personal attack clings tightly to our emotions, memories, even our bodies. We may intend to forgive yet become stuck in our own mixed motives, others’ silence or anger, and the skewed stories we believe and tell about our lives.

In The Ignatian Guide to Forgiveness, Marina McCoy delves into the principles of Ignatian spirituality and uses gentle honesty to lay out 10 steps toward forgiveness, including: Sort out true desires; Honour anger while deepening compassion; Make friends with time; Create a new story. . . and more.

Each chapter offers stories, real-life steps to take, and a powerful prayer for healing. Forgiveness is hard, but it’s also possible—with our “habits of mercy” and God’s abundant grace.

Marina Berzins McCoy is a professor of philosophy at Boston College. Much of the focus of her work is based on the themes of vulnerability, rhetoric, and self-knowledge.

She is also a spiritual director and volunteers at a men’s prison, leading discussions on spirituality.

Trust Your Feelings

Learning how to make choices with Ignatius of Loyola Nikolaas Sintobin SJ

This book is about discernment, how to look for clues in our innermost experience in order to guide behaviour. Christians believe that a careful reading of our deepest emotions can reveal what God is inviting us to do. The language that God speaks today is that of human experience.

The book opens with a general overview about the practice of discernment and examines the role of our heart, our intelligence and our will. It then explains how discernment can be practiced in daily life, how discernment can help in making choices, and in knowing whether something is good or bad.

Then ten different emotionally-charged situations are explored. Finally, the book addresses the question of whether or not discernment is reserved for Christians, and also briefly discusses discernment in a community setting. The book concludes with a reflection on discernment as a way of life.

A Flemish Jesuit priest, Nikolaas Sintobin SJ worked briefly as a lawyer, before he joined the Society of Jesus. He has been a teacher and a chaplain in the Jesuit high schools of Paris and Antwerp, and has specialised in Ignatian spirituality and pedagogy.

He has worked as an internet chaplain for the past 10 years.

Channelling the Inner Fire Ignatian Spirituality in 15 Points Brendan McManus SJ

Many people seek to deepen their faith but may lack the tools to help with the complexity of contemporary life. This book redefines spirituality as ‘channelling the inner fire’, a way of tuning in and giving expression to our inner world of feelings and desires, in order to become fully alive and human, as Jesus was.

God is at work in each of our lives right now. We are called to live like Christ, tuning into God’s plan for us and how we can serve the world. This book synthesizes the Ignatian system into 15 easy to understand concrete points, in order to uncover the subtle messages that God is communicating to us, to be in dynamic relationship with God, and engaged with the world. It spells out the practical steps and techniques developed by St Ignatius Loyola that allow us to find God in our experience and change our lives to be active agents for change.

Brendan McManus SJ works as a Spiritual Director and retreat giver in Belfast. He has published a number of books with Messenger Publications including Contemplating the Camino: An Ignatian Guide, The Way to Manresa and, coauthored with Jim Deeds, the best-selling Finding God in the Mess and Deeper into the Mess.

NEW RELEASES Becoming a Pastoral Parish Council

How to make your PPC really useful for the twenty-first century Patricia Carroll Foreword by Archbishop Dermot Farrell

Written in a year when Parish Pastoral Councils (PPCs) could not meet physically due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this book sets out to clarify and explore the role that PPCs can play in the future pastoral development of a parish. Debunking the myth that the PPC is just a committee, the book focuses on the purpose of the parish community within the context of the five P’s of the PPC: Pastoral, Prayerful, Partnership, Planning and Participation.

The book includes an exploration of prayer-filled reflection and discernment for pastoral action. The purpose of mission statements is examined and how these can provide a platform for parish renewal and reflection, connecting them to parish assembly and collective and collaborative listening. Informed by Evangelli Gaudium, the book integrates the pastoral theology of Pope Francis into every chapter, with a view to preparing PPCs for the reality that is the twenty-first century parish.

Originally from Scotland, Patricia Carroll is Director for Mission and Ministry in the Archdiocese of Dublin. She has worked for over twenty years in the area of developing lay people for ministries both as a practitioner in parish pastoral work and as an educator of lay people.

NEW RELEASES To Bring Comfort and Consolation Bereavement Ministry Paddy Shannon

This book is directed primarily at those involved in bereavement ministry, and is based on the course designed by the author for his own use in training in a parish setting.

It is divided into five sections: The human experience of Grief – drawing on his own experiences as well as the writings of some leading experts in grief; the Liturgy of Mourning as used in the Catholic Church; Grief in the Scriptures; a selection of suggested Scripture readings with reflections, and some sample prayers of intercession. These are intended to be used by ordained and lay ministers for their personal reflection and in preparing funeral homilies. They may also be of solace to grieving people; and finally, a selection of prose, poems and prayers.

Paddy Shannon worked for eighteen years with Cruse Bereavement Care, overseeing the development of the organisation across Northern Ireland. He has spoken at conferences and delivered training workshops on grief and bereavement ministry across Ireland, the UK and internationally.

NEW RELEASES God in Every Day A Whispered Prayer Deirdre M Powell

This book encourages us to pay attention to what is happening in our own hearts and how we can find God in the activities of our everyday lives. It sets out to aid the reader in their prayer life and help them to experience God in ordinary life by exploring usual and unusual images of God. Some of the images are familiar, such as God as Parent and God as Shepherd, and some are less common. Images of God as Chef (where we find God in food), God as Artist (where we find God in art), and God as Gardener (where we find God in the garden) bring home to us how God is all around us and present in the everyday.

For example, in the chapter on finding God as Artist, the reflections relate to God as a painter, musician and writer, and the examples of art, music and writing are drawn from everyday life. The art work is available to view at the National Gallery of Ireland, the four pieces of music are easily accessible online, as are the two poems.

Reflections with suitable scripture references are also provided.

An experienced writer and editor, Deirdre M Powell has contributed to a variety of print and broadcast media including The Saint Martin Magazine, Doctrine and Life, The Sacred Heart Messenger, The Pioneer, Ireland’s Eye and Irish Lives Remembered. She contributed to ‘A Thought for the Day’ for CI.Net for six years. This is her first book.

NEW RELEASES A Short History of the Church of Ireland Kenneth Milne Sixth Edition

The Church of Ireland traces its history back to the coming of Christianity to Ireland in the fifth century. Kenneth Milne here outlines the story of the Church within the wider context of Irish history, given the Church of Ireland’s role as the Established (State) Church for several hundred years and its political role in Irish life from the Reformation onwards.

This latest revision follows centuries of plantations and penal laws until eventually, in the nineteenth century, the church was disestablished. The final chapter brings the story through changing times to our own day, with the ecumenical movement, Prayer Book revision and the ordination of women to priesthood and the episcopate. A very useful resource for students of Religious Studies and those interested in reading about the beliefs and practices of traditions within the wider Christian family.

Kenneth Milne is a former secretary of the Board of Education of the General Synod of the Church of Ireland and principal of the Church of Ireland College of Education. He was convenor of the European Affairs Committee of the Irish Council of Churches and a member of the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA).

He has published widely on Irish education and Anglicanism. This is his first publication with Messenger Publications.

Photographs by Francis Browne SJ Edited by E E O’Donnell SJ Father Browne is recognised as one of the most important photographers of the twentieth century. As a passenger on the first two legs of the Titanic’s ill-fated maiden voyage, he documented the journey with photographs of the ship, its passengers and other memorabilia, leaving us with a unique record of this magnificent ship that would otherwise have been lost, when the unthinkable happened and the Titanic sank.

See God Act

The Ministry of Spiritual Direction Michael Drennan SJ

This book seeks to provide a broad vision of the ministry of spiritual direction, with insights taken from spirituality, scripture and psychology. Life is dynamic, not static, involving an inner and an outer journey. We live in relationships with God, self, others, and all creation. See God Act explores the dynamics involved in these relationships with a view to bringing greater clarity to them.

Joy in God

Rekindling an Inner Fire

Joachim Hartmann SJ and Annette Clara Unkelhäußer

Contemplative prayer and the contemplative way of life are the central themes of this book. Against the backdrop of their experience of accompanying those coming on retreat to House Gries, the authors talk about what happens in silence: healing and wholeness, suffering and consolation, forgiveness and reconciliation, gratitude and joy.
