The Ministry of Reconciliation - a Commentary on the Order of Penance 1974

London, Geoffrey Chapman. 1974, First Edition. (ISBN: 022566075X). Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy. viii + 167 pages. For many centuries the sacrament of penance has played a very important part in the lives of Catholics. All have used it and would say that they could not have led any sort of Christian life without it. It is significant, however, that one unconsciously uses the past tense. Is this still happening? The answer is, to great extent, yes. But many observers have noted a falling off in its use in recent years though it is not always easy to say why. The author provides his commentary on the new Order of Penance. NOT AN EX LIBRARY COPY R8. Fine/No Jacket.

In The Golden Light, he gives an intimate briefing to those who would face life in a manner which assures a satisfying spiritual growth. This book is his answer to the atheistic threat to the Free World. It is a positive course of spiritual action. It is practical, and a down to earth approach to God which is good for the soul of every man and woman. The author stresses man's oneness with God, and pleads for sympathetic understanding; not only among Christians and Jews, but for all ordinary people, to experience the spiritual ecstasy of saints, if they will only realize that they are created in God's image. The Golden Light is the visual manifestation of Divinity. R2. Very Good/Good.

Blessed Gabriella of Unity - a Patron for the Ecumenical Movement

Maria Sagheddu (1914-1939) grew up in Dorgali, a seaside village in Sardinia, as a young girl took part in Catholic Action, and at the age of 21 discovered her vocation to the religious life, entering Grossferrata, at that time the only Trappist monastery for women in Italy. In 1937 the Abbey of Grossferrata, taking its cue from the French ecumenist, Paul Couturier, began to support the week of Prayer for Church Unity and put its spiritual weight behind the ecumenical movement. Soon after this Sister Gabriella, as Maria had now become, confided to her superiors that she wanted to offer her life for the unity of the Church. Early in 1938 she was diagnosed as having tuberculosis, and her condition worsened and she died on St. George's Day, 23 April 1939. 19 years later the process of beatification was opened and on 25 January 1983, at the end of Church Unity Week, she was raised to the altar by Pope John Paul II.
