This offering for the Year of Consecrated Life explores the place of the Religious Brother within the Church-Communion. Following the three dimensions within which the Church-Communion presents itself, this latest document from the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life develops the identity of the Brother as a mystery of communion for mission. At the centre of this triple perspective lies the heart of the identity of the Religious Brother – namely ‘fraternity’, which is a gift that is received (mystery), a gift that is shared (communion) and a gift that is given away (mission). The text concludes with some guidelines so that in every part of the world and in every community, each Religious Brother may respond to the question: How can we be Brothers today? As well as Religious Brothers, this document is also directed to the laity, religious priests, diocesan priests, bishops and all those who want to know about, appreciate and promote the voc..

'Holiness is a word that may well alarm many potential readers; it suggests something solemn and hushed, at best something for only a few people, something belonging to admirable but not -- if we're honest -- a ll that attractive figures. Stephen Haskell offers us in this lucid, learned and intelligent book a wide-ranging picture of how the teachings of the great Carmelite spiritual reformers of the sixteenth century, Teresa and John of the Cross, can be understood and applied in all our lives, so that we grow in that authentic and joyful humanity for which we were made. And this is holiness -- not an 'extra' added to the human mix, but the essentially human, stripped of the embarrassing, destructive and futile habits with which we normally cover it up.'..

For millions of people from all walks of life, Mother Teresa's canonization providentially took place during Pope Francis's Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. This was entirely fitting since she is seen both inside and outside of the Church as an icon of God's mercy to those in need. Compiled and edited by Brian Kolodiejckuk, M.C., the postulator of Mother Teresa’s cause for sainthood, A Call to Mercy presents deep yet accessible wisdom on how we can show compassion in our everyday lives. In her own words, Mother Teresa discusses such topics as: the need for us to visit the sick and the imprisoned the importance of honoring the dead and informing the ignorant the necessity to bear our burdens patiently and forgive willingly the purpose to feed the poor and pray for all the greatness of creating a “civilization of love” through personal service to others Featuring never before published testimonials by people close to Mother Teresa as well as prayers and suggestions for putting these..
