Book Synopsis Blessed Margaret of Castello by : Mary Elizabeth O'Brien
Download or read book Blessed Margaret of Castello written by Mary Elizabeth O'Brien. This book was released on 2017-01-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Pope Francis' Misericordiae Vultus, he writes "During this Jubilee Year of Mercy, we look forward to the experience of opening our hearts to those living on the outermost fringes of society." Dr. Mary Elizabeth O'Brien, OP, has completed a comprehensive study of the life and ministry of Blessed Margaret of Castello, a thirteenth century Dominican Tertiary. Blessed Margaret's life, as illustrated in Dr. O'Brien's work, vividly exemplifies what Pope Francis is calling all people of the world to embrace, to become ministers of mercy and compassion. Margaret, born blind and with serious physical challenges, abandoned by her parents and left homeless, experienced firsthand the indifference and suffering of those she was called by God to serve, the poor, the sick and the outcast. With a profound faith in a Loving Father, she brought hope and healing to the lost and the unwanted. This ministry is what we are called upon to embrace today; to transform our world so that every person is loved and cared for as the summit of God's creative genius. Blessed Margaret's life gives us this model of mercy and compassion.

Book Synopsis Between Heaven and Earth by : Robert A. Orsi
Download or read book Between Heaven and Earth written by Robert A. Orsi. This book was released on 2013-10-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between Heaven and Earth explores the relationships men, women, and children have formed with the Virgin Mary and the saints in twentieth-century American Catholic history, and reflects, more broadly, on how people live in the company of sacred figures and how these relationships shape the ties between people on earth. In this boldly argued and beautifully written book, Robert Orsi also considers how scholars of religion occupy the ground in between belief and analysis, faith and scholarship. Orsi infuses his analysis with an autobiographical voice steeped in his own Italian-American Catholic background--from the devotion of his uncle Sal, who had cerebral palsy, to a "crippled saint," Margaret of Castello; to the bond of his Tuscan grandmother with Saint Gemma Galgani. Religion exists not as a medium of making meanings, Orsi maintains, but as a network of relationships between heaven and earth involving people of all ages as well as the many sacred figures they hold dear. Orsi argues that modern academic theorizing about religion has long sanctioned dubious distinctions between "good" or "real" religious expression on the one hand and "bad" or "bogus" religion on the other, which marginalize these everyday relationships with sacred figures. This book is a brilliant critical inquiry into the lives that people make, for better or worse, between heaven and earth, and into the ways scholars of religion could better study of these worlds.
