Sacred Oils explores the blessing and consecration of the oils at the annual Chrism Mass, as well as the guidelines for their usage. Inspirational and educational, this book will delight everyone interested in the ceremonies of the Catholic Church.

Mit seinem Buch über die erdachte Insel Utopia – ihr Name wurde erst später als ›Utopie‹ zum übergeordneten Gattungsbegriff für fiktive Staats- und Gesellschaftsentwürfe – hat Thomas Morus (1478–1535) einen echten Klassiker der politischen Philosophie geschaffen. Offen bleibt bis heute: Projizierte der Autor nur seine Phantasien in die damals frisch entdeckte Neue Welt, wollte er ein veritables Staatsmodell entwerfen oder gar zu politischen Reformen in England aufrufen? Es kommt auf den Standpunkt an: sei er nun sozialistisch, heidnisch, machtpolitisch, kapitalistisch, reformerisch oder idealstaatlich.

The Stations of the Cross in Atonement for Abuse and for the Healing of All invites a wounded church to contemplate the passion and death of Jesus through the experience of clerical abuse survivors. This one-of-a-kind resource is written and illustrated by priests to foster healing amidst the destruction committed by their brothers. Award-winning author and acclaimed liturgist Paul Turner pairs each of the fourteen Scripture-based stations with powerful quotes from survivors of clerical sexual abuse and responds to each with profound confessional prayer. Thought-provoking paintings by author and liturgist Ronald Patrick Raab, CSC, accompany each station. This resource will be cherished by parishes, faith-based organizations, retreat centers, prayer groups, youth groups, school and campus ministry programs, families, and individuals who yearn to honor survivors suffering with Christ and who yearn to bring this too often ignored reality to lived prayer experiences.
