＜p＞WHAT IF GOD WAS WITHIN YOU ALL ALONG? As we shift away from the age of polarity and devotion, an undercurrent of dissatisfaction stirs in the hearts of spiritual seekers. Many are awakening in this new age of synthesis; an age which will be forged in the fires of self-transformation and spiritual sovereignty. Birthing within these metaphysical pioneers is a yearning for self-actualisation, a desire to forego external worship, and a tendency to lay aside the tools and spells of this physical realm as they answer a powerful calling to recognise and reconnect with the God within. But with no clear path to follow, various states of physical, emotional, egoic, psychological, energetic, and spiritual discord and disease are manifesting in their bodies. The path from devotion to spiritual sovereignty is deeply personal and profoundly empowering, but it demands a strong constitution and a willingness to accept the responsibilities that are too easily laid at the feet of our deities of old. The path, however unique, is also riddled with some foreseeable pitfalls which can be more smoothly navigated if the spiritual explorer is properly prepared. As one who has trodden (and who continues to tread), this is my message to you... . . . . Amy is a naturopath (BHSc) specialising in nervous system and endocrine health. Since the age of 24, she has worked as a mentor and facilitator in the fields of personal, metaphysical, spiritual and psychological insight, transformation, and healing. With no question being too small, and no answer being too big, Amy is a keen explorer of those hidden inner realities which weave our form-focused experience into existence, searching for truth in the depth of the smallest atom, and in the breadth of the expansive cosmos.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

＜p＞＜strong＞Winner of a 2025 CMA Book Award from the Catholic Media Association: Catholic Social Teaching (First Place).＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In an era where social media metrics dominate our sense of connection and happiness, Colin Miller presents a refreshing perspective in ＜em＞We Are Only Saved Together＜/em＞. Drawing from the rich traditions of the Catholic Worker movement, Miller illustrates how true fulfillment lies not in virtual validation but in authentic relationships, shared experiences, and the pursuit of the common good. This timely reminder shows us how the joy we are made for is found in the practice of the Gospel, in the company of others, and especially in friendship with the poor.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While completing his doctoral work in theology at Duke, Miller befriended a group of homeless men who were living outside their church building. As these encounters led to conversations that led to friendships, Miller realized that the Gospel was not primarily about feeding the homeless or meeting their physical needs but about being a community, and this is the antidote to the loneliness, isolation, and emptiness that plagues our world. Along the way, he discovered Dorothy Day, Peter Maurin, and the Catholic Worker movement. Inspired by their work, he cofounded a Catholic Worker House dedicated to common prayer, material simplicity, fellowship with the poor, good work, and everyday community.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is not a call to become a strange, marginal, or fringe Catholic; it is a call to become fully Catholic by embracing the essential traditions that have always been at the heart of the Church and finding Christ in the places he promised to meet us: in worship, in community, in the poor. Following the little way of St. Th?r?se of Lisieux (one of Dorothy Day’s favorite saints), Miller shares practical ideas to consider when seeking to encounter Christ in these places, such as＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞exploring the power of shared meals and feasts;＜/li＞ ＜li＞reframing our encounters with people in poverty through a surprising look at the Good Samaritan parable;＜/li＞ ＜li＞ideas on how to live close to the land;＜/li＞ ＜li＞discerning the qualities that bring dignity to our work; and＜/li＞ ＜li＞steps to embrace voluntary simplicity.＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞＜em＞We Are Only Saved Together＜/em＞ is not about becoming a Catholic Worker; it’s about becoming a disciple who discovers friendship, adventure, and joy in the Gospel. It’s about pursuing a holiness so old it looks new.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Are you ready for an adventure filled with meaningful friendships, community with the poor, and good works? It might not always be easy, but it is definitely worth it. Let’s go!＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

＜p＞＜strong＞Winner of a first-place award in the future church category from the Catholic Media Association.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞We can’t just ＜em＞talk＜/em＞ about Christ’s presence in the Eucharist; we have to ＜em＞believe＜/em＞ it, ＜em＞celebrate＜/em＞ it, and ＜em＞live＜/em＞ it both individually and as a community of the faithful. And we must cultivate a culture in our parishes that treats Real Presence not only as an important Catholic doctrine, but also as the most important part of parish identity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Becoming Eucharistic People＜/em＞, theologian Timothy P. O’Malley, author of ＜em＞Real Presence＜/em＞, outlines four essential dimensions of a Eucharistic culture in a parishーone that fosters reverence and unity among the faithful, includes every dimension of human life in the mystery of Christ’s Body and Blood, and invites people back to parish life or to become Catholic for the first time.＜/p＞ ＜p＞O’Malleyーdirector of education at the McGrath Institute of Church Life at the University of Notre Dame, academic director of the Notre Dame Center for Liturgy, and a member of the executive planning team for the US Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Eucharistic Revivalーshows what it means to foster a parish culture where the Eucharist infuses the worldview, priorities, and practices of its members. O’Malley leads you through discovery and discernment about how to create a parish culture where each person is called to holiness and receives the spiritual, theological, and pastoral help they need to meet Christ fully present in the Eucharist and to become a witness to him in the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞O’Malley will help you reflect on four essential facets of a Eucharistic parish culture:＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞liturgies of joyful reverence that celebrate the gifts of diversity;＜/li＞ ＜li＞formation that engages the mind, imagination, understanding, and will;＜/li＞ ＜li＞a rich life of popular piety and the vibrancy of the domestic Church; and＜/li＞ ＜li＞a commitment to solidarity with your neighbor.＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞O’Malley says that when we reflect Christ’s Real Presence to others, our parishes will become sacred spaces in which every person is led to deeper communion with God and with their neighbors.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Online resources, including ideas for parish retreats, teaching resources, and videos based on this book and the US bishops Eucharistic Revival are available from the McGrath Institute for Church Life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Books in the Engaging Catholicism series from the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame help readers discover the beauty and truth of the Catholic faith through a concise exploration of the Church’s most important but often difficult-to-grasp doctrines as well as crucial pastoral and spiritual practices. Perfect for seekers and new Catholics, clergy and catechetical leaders, and everyone in between, the series expands the McGrath Institute’s mission to connect the Catholic intellectual life at Notre Dame to the pastoral life of the Church and the spiritual needs of her people.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

＜p＞What if we looked at the things we see wrong in the world with empathy, dug below the surface of people’s disappointing actions to experience their pain, and understood hurtful words as a cry for consolation? What if we responded with sorrow instead of outrage, and love instead of hate?＜/p＞ ＜p＞If we could do all that, we’d be living as Jesus taught us in the Beatitudes. Fr. Casey Cole, OFMーhost of YouTube’s ＜em＞Breaking the Habit＜/em＞ーwants you to embrace the pain caused by anger and division in the world and then look to Jesus for hope through the Beatitudes.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“The only thing that evangelizes is love,” Cole writes. “The only thing that will ever change someone’s mind, cause them to turn from their evil ways, accept Jesus into their lives, and become a peacemaker themselves is love. If we want to make peace in our world, we must put down our weapons and take up the cross.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞The Way of Beatitude＜/em＞, Cole explores the meaning of the words Jesus preached at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5: 3?12) and shows you how to get beyond apathy and despair and help Christ bring about the Kingdom of Heaven in the here and now. The Beatitudes, he says, offer a path toward radical change.＜/p＞ ＜p＞You will learn how to:＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞surrender to the mercy of God;＜/li＞ ＜li＞face with courage the heartache caused by division and animosity;＜/li＞ ＜li＞be patient and lean into God’s providence;＜/li＞ ＜li＞hunger always for justice;＜/li＞ ＜li＞commit to solidarity with the powerless and the broken;＜/li＞ ＜li＞be liberators of the oppressed; and＜/li＞ ＜li＞lay down your life for the sake of God’s Kingdom.＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞By sharing his own stories of striving toward supreme blessedness, Cole shows you how to surrender power and move beyond the harmful divisiveness of our world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapters include reflection questions and practical ideas for living the Beatitudes.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

＜p＞＜strong＞Winner of a first-place award for popular presentation of the faith and second-place in pastoral ministry, catechetical resource from the Catholic Media Association.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Many Catholics don’t believe that Jesus is ＜em＞really＜/em＞ present in the Eucharist. Rather, they see the bread and wine of Holy Communion as mere symbols of Christ’s body and blood. Is that disbelief just a misunderstanding or is it a blatant rejection of one of the central beliefs of the faith?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Real Presence＜/em＞, University of Notre Dame theologian Timothy P.

＜p＞Hans J. Nissen here provides a much-needed overview of 7000 years of development in the ancient Near East from the beginning of settled life to the formation of the first regional states. His approach to the study of Mesopotamian civilization differs markedly from conventional orientations, which impose a sharp division between prehistoric and historic, literate, periods. Nissen argues that this approach is too rigid to explain the actual development of that civilization. He deemphasizes the invention of writing as a turning point, viewing it as simply one more phase in the evolution of social complexity and as the result of specific social, economic, and political factors.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With a unique combination of material culture analysis written data, Nissan traces the emergence of the earliest isolated settlements, the growth of a network of towns, the emergence of city states, and finally the appearance of territorial states. From his synthesis of the prehistoric and literate periods comes a unified picture of the development of Mesopotamian economy, society, and culture. Lavishly illustrated, ＜em＞The Early History of the Ancient Near East, 9000-2000 B.C.＜/em＞ is an authoritative work by one of the most insightful observers of the evolution and character of Mesopotamian civilization.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

＜p＞＜em＞“This book is a friendship telling its story. It is friends telling together their experience of friendship in the Lord.”＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Friendship isn’t just a longingーit’s a holy calling. We are made for deep, life-giving connection. Yet in a world overwhelmed by digital noise and surface-level interaction, many of us feel more isolated than ever. ＜em＞Friendship in the Lord＜/em＞ offers a timeless, grace-filled response to that ache.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Originally published in 1974 and beloved by Catholics for decades, this spiritual classic by Dominican priest Fr. Paul Hinnebusch has been reprinted for a new generationーone that longs for meaningful connection but often doesn’t know where to begin. Blending theological depth with heartfelt personal reflection, this book is a moving testament to the real-life beauty of friendship rooted in Christ.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With the wisdom of a teacher, the soul of a mystic, and the voice of a friend, Fr. Hinnebusch reveals how authentic friendshipーwhen founded in the love of Christーis a pathway to holiness and healing.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through rich theological insight and powerful stories, you will＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞discover how friendship, grounded in the grace of Christ, becomes a participation in the very life of the Trinity;＜/li＞ ＜li＞learn why the Churchーespecially St. Thomas Aquinasーhas long upheld the love of friendship as one of the most fitting images of our relationship with God;＜/li＞ ＜li＞reflect on saintly friendships that transformed the Church through mutual encouragement, sacrifice, and prayerーlike St. Catherine of Siena and Bl. Raymond of Capua, St. Jane Frances de Chantal and St. Francis de Sales, Bl. Jordan of Saxony and Bl. Diana d’Andalo, and St. Joseph and the Virgin Mary;＜/li＞ ＜li＞reclaim the art of seeing, appreciating, and honoring others in a world that has forgotten how to love as Christ does.＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞As Fr. Hinnebusch writes, “Intimacy is a love which accepts me fully even when it sees that I am far from perfect . . . a love which always sees my potentialities for good and draws them to full blossom by the sun of appreciation.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a culture of loneliness, ＜em＞Friendship in the Lord＜/em＞ is a powerful, poetic invitation to rediscover the gift of holy friendship. Whether you’re seeking to deepen a current relationship or wondering where to begin, this book offers the guidance and inspiration to findーand becomeーa friend in the Lord.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

＜p＞Fatima, war, Vatican II, St. John Paul II, and the clerical sex abuse crisis: These are just a few of the people and events that helped define the Catholic Church in the modern era.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞The Church and the Modern Era (1846?2005)＜/em＞, author David Wagner explores how the Church maintained its core beliefs while meeting the challenges of the industrial age, world wars, the sexual revolution, and technological advancement in an increasingly secular world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The “modern era” of the Catholic Church began with the election of Blessed Pius IX in 1846 and ends with the death of St. John Paul II in 2005, the last pope to have served as a council father at Vatican II. With monarchies falling, nation-states rising, and industrialization and mass migration underway, the world changed more during this period than any other, Wagner contends. While the Church may feel more user-friendly and less formal than ever before, what we believe has been handed down from the beginning.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Wagner reintroduces you to some of the era’s most powerful examples of virtue and faith such as St. John Henry Newman, St. Th?r?se of Lisieux, St. Josephine Bakhita, St. Faustina, and St. Maximillian Kolbe. He will also dispel some of the long-held misconceptions about the Church that span the 160-year period.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this book, you will learn:＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞The Catholic Church is the world’s most powerful advocate for workers, the poor, and human rights.＜/li＞ ＜li＞The Church’s social teaching does not endorse any economic or political systems.＜/li＞ ＜li＞The Second Vatican Council did not change Catholic teaching on faith or morals.＜/li＞ ＜li＞The Church has been an advocate for raising the status of women, championing women’s rights to education, to work, and to equal pay.＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞Books in the Reclaiming Catholic History series, edited by Mike Aquilina and written by leading authors and historians, bring Church history to life, debunking the myths one era at a time.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

＜p＞＜strong＞Winner of a 2025 Excellence in Publishing Award from the Association of Catholic Publishers: Spirituality (Third Place [tie]).＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Let the Holy Spirit lead you to the Living Water that feeds our well of faith.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞When asked about his spiritual gifts of healing, bilocation, prophecy, and stigmata, Padre Pio replied, “You know, they are a mystery to me, too.” While you might think he is just being modest, he is actually getting at the heart of how the Holy Spirit works in every Christian’s life. We can’t fully understand why God gives us certain gifts, but as we walk with Christ, we can engage with this mystery and journey towards holiness.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Welcoming the Holy Spirit with Padre Pio＜/em＞, Susan De Bartoli shares stories and wisdom from the life of this humble monk to show how we can use our unique spiritual gifts to love others and draw from the well of faith to encounter Christ in profound ways.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Following the success of her Advent devotional, ＜em＞Welcoming the Christ Child with Padre Pio＜/em＞, Susan De Bartoli invites you to explore Padre Pio’s relationship with the third member of the Blessed Trinity, the Holy Spirit, who is the source of all spiritual gifts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through the stories of this simple Capuchin priest, you’ll discover what is possible for those who surrender themselves to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. At Baptism, we all receive the fruits of the Spiritーgifts like wisdom, fortitude, and pietyーthat empower us to “dive deep” into the well of faith. The Holy Spirit also graces some of us with special charismsーsupernatural gifts such as healing, teaching, or intercessory abilitiesーintended to serve the Church. In this book, you’ll learn how to nurture these gifts, just as Padre Pio did, so that even your “ordinary“ spiritual gifts and charisms can bless others and deepen your own faith.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Each chapter offers quotations from Padre Pio, a short story about the saint, prayer, and reflection questions that you can apply to your own life, such as:＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞What are my spiritual gifts and how have I seen them play out in my life already?＜/li＞ ＜li＞Am I consistently drinking from the well of faith?＜/li＞ ＜li＞What does the Lord want me to do with my life, and how can I use my spiritual gifts to serve the Church?＜/li＞ ＜li＞Am I willing to surrender even the good things in my life to glorify the Lord?＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Welcoming the Holy Spirit with Padre Pio＜/em＞ is the perfect companion for those who are already drawn to Padre Pio’s spirituality or anyone yearning to strengthen their relationship with the Holy Spirit. Through the example of this extraordinary saint, you will discover how continually drawing from the well of Living Water can drastically change your everyday walk with Christ.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

＜p＞A new study by Msgr. Stephen J.

This book includes the most recent findings about the health of priests, what most influences their wellness, and how the Church can ensure their continued well-being. The three studies make up the most comprehensive survey of American priests ever conducted.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rossetti’s research shows＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞Priestly happiness in the United States has been steadily rising for the last few decades and continues to be very high, with 90 percent or more of priests indicating that they strongly agree/agree with the statement, “Overall, I am happy as a priest.”＜/li＞ ＜li＞Priests very much like doing what they do, resulting in high job satisfaction.＜/li＞ ＜li＞More priests are engaging in traditional spiritual practicesーincluding praying the Liturgy of the Hours and spending at least thirty minutes each day in private prayerーthan they reported a decade ago.＜/li＞ ＜li＞Support for celibacy among priests remains high and is rising, with more priests professing to have a positive experience of celibacy, from 75 percent in 2009 to 82 percent in 2021.＜/li＞ ＜li＞Mental wellness of priests remains high despite some signs of distress and depression, particularly during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.＜/li＞ ＜li＞Priests report they are disappointed in Church leaders for their failures in handling abuse cases.＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞Rossetti explains that the most crucial indicators of a priest’s psychological and spiritual wellbeing are loneliness, self-esteem, relationship to his bishop, compassion satisfaction, childhood trauma, traditional spirituality, priestly fraternity, sexual conflicts, and his intimacy with God.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
