Radiating Christ

To be a "Christ" is the whole meaning of Christianity. To radiate "Christ" is the whole meaning of the Christian Apostolate. But to be a "Christ" for one's own personal benefit is not enough; we have to Christianize those around us; in a word, we have to radiate "Christ." There are so many holy people that have radiated Christ in our times, but none as powerfully and effectively as Pope John Paul II and Mother Theresa of Calcutta. May we be granted the gift to radiate "Christ." This beautiful book lays a foundation to help us to radiate and Christianize our fellow man, especially in these times of decadence and non-believing Christians.

The postulator for Mother Teresa’s cause for sainthood, Father Brian Kolodiejchuk, has culled some of her most stirring words into a powerful book that her admirers will treasure. Jesus is My All in All follows the Roman Catholic novena format; derived from the Latin word for nine, the novena provides a nine-day rhythm of prayer and reflection. A prayer to Mother Teresa herself is the foundation for each day’s reflections, which illuminate such topics as: • Finding Jesus in your heart • Becoming convinced of Jesus’ love for you • Seeking guidance from Mary the Mother of Jesus • Drawing on Jesus’ thirst to quench the needs of those around you Accompanied by striking full-color images, JESUS IS MY ALL IN ALL immortalizes the words and wisdom of one of humanity’s most radiant women.

In his entertaining and engaging style, Mark Hart (also known as "The Bible Geek") shows readers why Scripture should be central to our life with the Lord. When we become immersed in Scripture, he says, we allow it—not the secular culture—to form our minds and hearts. In the story of the Bible, we find our own story as we discover how much God loves us and desires to save us and dwell among us. This book also considers the place of Scripture in the liturgy, introduces the practice of lectio divina, the prayerful reading of Scripture, and shows how the Scriptures connect to the sacraments.

The memory of Msgr. Roeltgen has not been dimmed by time. Those who knew him and were trained to virtue by his precepts and example love to speak of him, to repeat his words, and tell incidents of his holy life. Monsignor's life and character had a beauty few achieve. The gentleness of his manner, the strength of his character, the validity of his priestly commitment, and the unswerving love of God, the Church, the priesthood and, of course, his brother priests and his parishioners were so apparent to all who knew him that we knew we experienced a rare blessing and were especially gifted by the Lord in him. This book will be of immense spiritual value to all who know and want to know God, and will strengthen their faith, hope, and charity in these days when there is an apparent conspiracy at work to erase the consciousness of God from the minds of men. "We are but high up old windows through which the grace of God still shines." This sentence aptly describes our much loved and deeply missed friend. Monsignor Roeltgen was, indeed, a man who let the light of God shine through.
