"description":"By Dorothy Scallan. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe life of Venerable Leo Dupont, besides being one of the finest biographies of a saint the reader will likely ever encounter, is also the suspenseful story of the Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus and how it was established—first at Tours, France and then worldwide, as authorized by Pope Leo XIII in 1885. However, before it was approved by the Church, Leo Dupont practiced this devotion privately in his drawing room, where a true likeness of Veronica’s vail was perpetually venerated by a burning lamp, and before which he would pray for hours on end. Soon miracles began to occur by the application of the oil from this perpetual lamp to the afflicted members of sick people and invalids.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe miracles became so numerous that Pope Pius IX declared Leo Dupont to be perhaps the greatest miracle-worker in Church history. People from all over Europe and around the world would write to Monsieur Dupont for a few ounces of this holy oil, often addressing him simply as “The Holy Man of Tours, Tours, France.” The postmen at Tours always knew to whom they meant. Whereas The Golden Arrow: The Autobiography and Revelations of Sr. Mary of St. Peter (1816–1848) contains the actual moving revelations of Our Lord about the powerful Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Holy Man of Tours\u003c\/i\u003e is in reality the fascinating story of this great devotion, especially of the seemingly insurmountable difficulties encountered in having it officially recognized by the Church. In many respects, \u003ci\u003eThe Holy Man of Tours\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the most moving and best written Catholic books in print today—and is certainly one which will reward the reader far beyond what he might ever possibly anticipate.",

At the outset, they are deeply saddened by Jesus' tragic death. By that evening, however, they have made a 180-degree turn: from dejected disciples to followers filled with joy—a joy they simply must share with others as fast as they can. What accounts for this change? They have encountered the risen Christ!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Joy of Discipleship\u003c\/i\u003e, Pope Francis reminds us that joy should be one of the defining characteristics of any person who has truly encountered Jesus. This skillfully curated collection of homilies, speeches, and other documents from Pope Francis, compiled and edited by James P. Campbell, offers a fresh perspective on why Christian disciples should be so joyful in the first place and how that joy might manifest itself in our individual daily lives. Covering a broad range of themes—Christ's Resurrection, mercy, wealth and poverty, the Christian family, and more—The Joy of Discipleship moves us to meditate on Christ and then inspires us to move out from our own four walls, jubilantly proclaiming God's transforming love in word and deed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor anyone who wants what Pope Francis has—an active, abiding, authentic love for Jesus Christ, for the Church, and for the people of this world—\u003ci\u003eThe Joy of Discipleship\u003c\/i\u003e will point the way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This volume gives us a portrait of the Pope and what amazing joy fills his life, his mind, his teaching . . . his discipleship!\"\u003cbr\u003e—From the foreword by Daniel Cardinal DiNardo",

Stephen Rossetti stresses that psychology can be effective in enriching the lives of priests, and the priesthood itself, if it works with a basis of spirituality. Rossetti invites priests to recognize the dignity of their calling through honest and psychologically based self-assessment because happiness in the priesthood flows from both wholeness and holiness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRossetti also highlights the need for systemic changes to coincide with personal conversions. He calls for a change in the culture of clerical life; emphasizes the need for greater accountability, openness and honesty on all levels; demands stronger relationships between bishops and priests; and suggests changes in seminary formation that will address the personal challenges faced by priests.",

The correspondence of More during his imprisonment receives particular attention, an eloquent testament to the depth of More's love for his family and friends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to Thomas More's writing, the testimony of early biographies of the saint together with the recent finding of Tudor and Reformation era scholars are utilized to reconstruct the events of More's life and execution.
