Dearest Soul : A Spiritual Journey With Padre Pio
$24.95
Padre Pio was well known during his lifetime as a spiritual director to many souls all over the world. What if you, too, could receive his guidance and counsel? You will find just that in the treasures of his letters, written about 100 years ago to his spiritual directors and to his spiritual daughters.
Dearest Soul o?ers spiritual guidance for every soul in Padre Pio’s own words, drawn from those letters. This book illustrates his journey as a prophet of our time, as one who is so similar and yet so di?erent from us. Fr. John Aurilia, OFM Cap., who served as Padre Pio’s secretary in 1967, shows us the human side of a di?cult saint. Padre Pio is a great master in guiding us through life, and we love him because he was one of us, a person full of fears, con?icts, joy, pain, success, discouragement, and hope. Most of all, he was a man of prayer and contemplation, which overshadowed and gave support to all his other gifts. Padre Pio faced many challenges in his spiritual journey and, in doing so, taught us how to make our journey.

Return Of The Prodigal Son
$17.00Add to cartA chance encounter with a reproduction of Rembrandt’s The Return of the Prodigal Son catapulted Henri Nouwen on a long spiritual adventure. Here he shares the deeply personal and resonant meditation that led him to discover the place within where God has chosen to dwell.
In seizing the inspiration that came to him through Rembrandt’s depiction of the powerful Gospel story, Henri Nouwen probes the several movements of the parable: the younger son’s return, the father’s restoration of sonship, the elder son’s vengefulness, and the father’s compassion. In his reflection on Rembrandt in light of his own life journey, the author evokes a powerful drama of the parable in a rich, capativating way that is sure to reverberate in the hearts of readers. The themes of homecoming, affirmation, and reconciliation will be newly discovered by all who have known loneliness, dejection, jealousy, or anger. The challenge to love as the father and be loved as the son will be seen as the ultimate revelation of the parable known to Christians throughout time, and here represented with a vigor and power fresh for our times.
For all who ask, “Where has my struggle led me?” or for those “on the road” who have had the courage to embark on the journey but seek the illumination of a known way and safe passage, this work will inspire and guide each time it is read.
