LAZARUS - the man Jesus raised from the dead in one of the most extraordinary encounters with The Living Saviour in all of Scripture.

Lazarus owned a vineyard and devoted his life to caring for its vines and fruit. But he encountered another man - Jesus - whose vineyard was the world, its fruit the eternal souls of men.

On World Mission Sunday, October 19, 1997, Pope John Paul II declared St. Thérèse of Lisieux a "Doctor of the Universal Church." This event marked not only the culmination of an unprecedented series of honors bestowed on "the greatest saint of modern times," as St. Pius X called her, but it also represented a watershed in the evolution of the understanding of this ecclesiastical title bestowed on only 33 saints in the history of the Church. Certainly, at the time of her death in 1897, no one would have guessed that this 24-year-old Carmelite nun, with such a limited education and imperfect literary style, who never wrote a treatise or published an article and who died virtually unknown in an obscure French Carmel, would one day come to be ranked alongside such eminent personalities as St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, as a doctor ecclesiae. Her selection did not come about in a vacuum, nor did it happen easily. The story behind the title and her reception of it as documented in t..

Handbook for Business Leaders Practical Principles in Serving the Common Good This is a vade mecum, a handbook, for business men and women, intended to strengthen the ‘vocation’ of professionals working in an ever-changing and challenging global business environment. The business leader faces a world which is characterised by a complicated mix of factors four of which have fundamentally changed the context of business over the last quarter century: (1) globalisation, (2) new communication technologies, (3) the financialisation of the economy, (4) cultural changes – and, in particular, the challenge of individualism and accompanying moral systems of relativism and utilitarianism. Business leaders, who are guided by ethical social principles, lived through virtues and illuminated for Christians by the Gospel, can, nonetheless, succeed and contribute to the common good. This text offers analysis, practical advice and discernment checklists...
