Nothing will transform your life quite like a personal encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist. When we encounter Jesus, he changes us in powerful and unexpected ways. He heals us, brings us peace and clarity, models how to relate with others, and teaches us the lessons we need to learn to navigate the everyday situations of our lives. In the Eucharist we meet with the same Jesus who healed the blind, forgave sins, and rose from the dead. Are you ready...

Dos libritos amables escritos en una época poco amable, dice el autor. Una época de afirmación del pueblo de Israel al volver del exilio, cuando era necesario restablecer las propias instituciones, cohesionar la convivencia y reconstruir la identidad nacional y religiosa después de un largo período de disgregación. Un momento poco favorable, en definitiva, para la acogida del extranjero, que era visto como un elemento contaminante y distorsionador,...

Author
Description
What is Mary's heart really like?
The first thing I did when Matthew Kelly asked me to write this book was to prayerfully ask Mary to reveal herself to me. What was her heart really like? How did she love? What did she want me to learn?

No es una autobiografía, nos dice el autor. 'Dios escribe recto con renglones torcidos; porque los caminos emprendidos se dibujan torcidos y disparatados; porque todo escapa a las normas acreditadas de la cordura, del buen sentido y la compostura convencional.
