Nouwen's theology of downward mobility is certaily not a popular one in our society where our values is usually determined by success, popularity and influence. Try telling an Olympic athlete that those who fail to win any medals are just as good as those who win the gold!

the Ways of the Lord
Fr. Camilo Maccise, OCD
126 pp., PhP 129, US $ 6.95

The Word of God comes to us in various ways throughout our life, not only through Sacred Scpriture but also through the events of each day. I believe it is necessary for us, right from the beginning of our retreat, to face up to our own life. We are making a pause on our journey, not only each one as an individual, but also we as a community. We are indeed a community, gathered together in the name of the Lord, and we ought not to forget this.

I believe The Ways of the Lord is a fascinating theme. It will be good for us during this time to pause to think about the way behind us. There is a continual pressing invitation in Scripture to remember, especially in the Old Testament, where God's people are urged to recall, to bring to mind. "Remember how Yahweh your God led you for forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, to test you and know your inmost heart - whether you would keep his commandments or not" (Dt 8:2). We ought, therefore to share our faith and recall the way we haved walked, and this, if I may say so, should be done in the right way with a listening attitude. From the Introduction

The New Rosary
From Claretian Publications

"The Rosary of the Virgin Mary", the Apostoloic Letter of John Paul II, is here presented and explained:

•    The novelty of the "Mysteries of Light" and the days of the week when they are prayed.
•    The reflection of the Pope on how to avoid a mechanical way of praying the Rosary and to obtain a greater depth.
•    The Mysteries of the Rosary in the light of the Word of God: the Pope links the mystery itself with the evangelical text as a way to the contemplation of Jesus.
•    The Rosary as a form of contemplative prayer.

Sensing Your Hidden Presence:
Toward Intimacy with God
by Ignacio Larrañaga
336 pp., PhP 189, Now on SALE: PhP 75.00

Secularization, as the author sees it, could be compared to the dark night of the senses. It is the most radical purification of the image of God. God is not the "maternal womb" that liberates us from the risks and difficulties of life. This secularization, we insist, is thus a true dark night of the senses. From now on, faith and life with God will be a risky adventure….
