Benedetto XVI, il Papa emerito. Ma soprattutto l’uomo del Monastero: l’ex convento di clausura incastonato in una radura appartata dei Giardini vaticani, dove si è trasferito nel maggio del 2013 dopo l’epocale rinuncia al pontificato. Da allora, la percezione della sua personalità è cambiata. Con quel gesto di Joseph Ratzinger si sono prodotte anomalie a cascata che, dopo nove anni di papato di Francesco, perdurano e condizionano gli equilibri della Chiesa.

Che uomo era Gesù? Come si è formato nell’infanzia e nella giovinezza? Come è nata in lui una certa idea di Dio e del mondo? Come è diventato maestro e predicatore? Come ha iniziato a fare miracoli? Come è arrivato a essere rifiutato e crocifisso? Quale fu l’effetto del suo modo di vivere sulla società in cui viveva? Cosa capirono davvero i contemporanei di lui (e cosa noi, oggi, capiamo di lui)? Cosa rimane, insomma, del suo personalissimo Vangelo? Rispondere a tutte queste domande significa riscoprire la figura di Gesù e comprendere perché ancora oggi affascini credenti e non credenti.

Desde el inicio de su papado en 2013, el papa Francisco ha sido elogiado y admirado por sus opiniones progresistas sobre la justicia social y la crisis climática. Y también ha denunciado el clericalismo que existe en la Iglesia católica y ha dado muchos pasos para demostrar que, como papa, quiere alejarse de ese clericalismo: eligió vivir en la modesta residencia de Santa Marta en lugar de los tradicionales apartamentos papales; eligió que le llevaran en un coche usado en lugar de la tradicional limusina papal.

On many occasions throughout the history of the Catholic Church, God has provided visible proof of the invisible reality of the real presence of Jesus Christ in the holy eucharist. In Eucharistic Miracles, Joan Carroll Cruz documents 36 such miracles. Finally, it also recounts miraculous eucharistic phenomena in the lives of saints: saints who lived with only the eucharist for sustenance, received communication miraculously, or experienced raptures, ecstasies, levitations, visions, locutions, and more.

After a week of hearing ghostly noises, a man is visited in his home by the spirit of his mother, dead for three decades. She reproaches him for his dissolute life and begs him to have Masses said in her name. Then she lays her hand on his sleeve, leaving an indelible burn mark, and departs... 

The way to perfection is simple - to unite one’s will with God’s, putting into action the prayer “Thy will be done". In this precious short work, Uniformity with God's Will, St. Alphonsus Liguori explains the importance of conforming one’s will to God’s and how to do so; how God is glorified by our resignation to his will even more than by our acts; how to gain peace of mind and serenity by trusting in God, accepting what he wills for our lives, and following his commands.  

Have you ever wondered why Jesus has so many names? It’s not an accident. Each one is invaluable in helping us to understand, as best we can, the full nature of Jesus Christ.

In Ephesians 6:11, the Apostle Paul calls on all believers to put on the whole armor of God. We have many battles yet to fight but we do not fight to achieve victory; we fight from the victory already achieved on the cross. There are certain enemies whom God delivers you from, but there are other enemies He empowers you to have dominion over. Deliverance is what God does in you; dominion is what he does through you. You can stop being tired of going from deliverance to deliverance.

Voulant instituer une école de service du Seigneur, "la Règle de Saint Benoît" organise la vie en communauté des moines et décrit les vertus monastiques que sont l'obéissance, l'humilité et l'esprit de silence. Divisée en 73 chapitres, elle permet aussi à tout un chacun de sanctifier son quotidien. Si "la Règle" s'adressait d'ailleurs à l'origine aux seuls moines bénédictins, hors des monastères, de nombreux laïcs s'en inspire d'un point de vue spirituel, attirés par la façon dont elle thématise le travail, le silence ou encore le partage.

The only true and unedited telling of the life of Christ - his life and times,in historical context, but not lacking the psychology behind his physical being and spirit. Unlike other books seeking to strip Jesus' story to reveal only the human being, Romano Guardini's The Lord gives the complete story of Jesus Christ - as man, Holy Ghost, and Creator. Pope Benedict XVI lauds Guardini's work as providing a full understanding of the Son of God away from the prejudice that rationality engenders.

"Francis, go and build up my house, which thou seest, is falling into ruin." To fulfill this command of Our Lord, St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) began by restoring physical churches and continued by building up the spiritual church in souls. Francis' humility, purity, and true joy inspired many to conversion and a deeper faith.

The Constructed Mennonite is a unique account of a life shaped by Stalinism, Nazism, migration, famine, and war. It investigates the tenuous spaces where individual experiences inform and become public history; it studies the ways in which memory shapes identity, and reveals how context and audience shape autobiographical narratives.
