"Eucharist," a DVD by Fr. Robert Barron
Tagged by
KathyPozos
Fr. Barron, the popular preacher and podcasting priest, offers inspiring insights into the beauty of Christ’s presence in our lives and the centrality of the profound mystery of the Eucharist as an important part of that presence. Today so many believers do not have much understanding or appreciation for the great mystery of the Eucharist, which Vatican II called the “source and summit of the Christian life.” This fresh look at the Eucharist brings to light its reality as sacred meal, the sacrifice necessary for communion with God and the real presence of Christ.

The Priority of Christ: Toward a Postliberal Catholicism, by Robert Barron and Francis Cardinal George

the priority of christ: toward a postliberal catholicism
For a long time, Christians have tried to bridge the divide between Christianity and secular liberalism with philosophizing and theologizing. In The Priority of Christ, Father Robert Barron shows that the answer to this debate--and the way to move forward--lies in Jesus. Barron transcends the usual liberal/conservative or Protestant/Catholic divides with a postliberal Catholicism that brings the focus back on Jesus as revealed in the New Testament narratives.
Barron's classical Catholic post-liberalism will be of interest to a broad audience including not only the academic community but also preachers and general readers interested in entering the dialogue between Catholicism and postliberalism.

Heart of Joy: The Transforming Power of Self Giving, by Mother Teresa and Jose Luis Gonzalez-Balado
Tagged by

Tags:
heart of joy: the transforming power of self giving,
social justice,
care of the poor,
letters,
interviews
Drawn from lectures, interviews, and conversations/letters addressed to co-workers, these pieces overlap to some extent (as the Introduction acknowledges) but make up for any repetition by the radiant love and faith incarnated in their words. Recurrent themes are the generosity and dignity of the poor, service as a contemplative life-style rather than social action, and the tragedy of spiritual as well as material hunger and poverty. A challenging springboard to spiritual contemplation.

As a pastor working in a neighborhood with the highest concentration of murderous gang activity in Los Angeles, Gregory Boyle created an organization to provide jobs, job training, and encouragement so that young people could work together and learn the mutual respect that comes from collaboration. Tattoos on the Heart is a breathtaking series of parables distilled from his twenty years in the barrio. Arranged by theme and filled with sparkling humor and glowing generosity, these essays offer a stirring look at how full our lives could be if we could find the joy in loving others and in being loved unconditionally.
