Shouldering the Lamb offers eleven meditations revolving around the ancient figure of the shepherd carrying a lamb across his shoulders. Viewing this image from many angles enables Archbishop Richard Clarke to reflect on how any carrying of another in the loving service of God and humankind is an echo, in some respect at least, of the God who is Love.
"‘Prepare yourself to be taken on an unexpected journey!..." + Eamon Martin, Archbishop of Armagh
This issue focuses on synodality in the life of the Church, featuring Cardinal Mario Grech on From Vatican Council II to a Synodal Church and Julieann Moran on Receiving the Council’s Unfolding Gift—their full papers from the centenary celebration of Austin Flannery OP (1925–2025).
Also included are reflections on the 1700th anniversary of Nicea, Advent and Christmas, hope and suffering, faith and community, and resistance to war, with contributions from Sara Parvis, Bonnie Thurston, Mary T. Brien, Phil Mortell, David Begg, Geraldine Mitchell, Martin Henry, and Judith Tutin.
In 1967, three sisters from the then autonomous, semi - enclosed Taylor's Hill convent in Galway set out for Argentina to investigate the possibility of opening a mission there. This book tells the story of what resulted from that journey.
Take Nothing for the Journey is a record of three months spent living in a tent in different parts of Ireland, all places that held significance for Donagh O'Shea. After 10 busy years working in a retreat centre, he needed to get away from maps of the spiritual journey, for maps can never be substitutes for the real journey, the journey to God.
This work addresses itself to the needs of worshippers who seek to recover the identity of Jesus of Nazareth in the course of the three-year cycle. The four Gospel-writers shape their messages about Jesus to address the specific needs of the communities in which they lived and worshipped.
'What is a Benedictine?' There are many ways to answer that question, but none of them is very clear-cut. In this book, Terence approaches the Benedictine Rule by employing a combination of literary-historical analysis of the text with reflection based on practical experience.
The Certainty of Being Loved traces the spiritual journey of Pierre Claverie op, born in 1938 in Algiers, the fourth generation of a family of European settlers.
Pierre joined the Dominicans in France and his conversion experience enabled him to cross the boundaries of difference and deepen his Christian commitment. It would eventually lead him to offer his life as a ransom for peace and reconciliation between Christians and Muslims.
"The Algerian martyr Blessed Pierre Claverie is one of the great witnesses of our time, deserving of a place next to Oscar Romero or Dietrich Bonhoeffer, yet is little known so far in the wider Church." - Austin Ivereigh
There is a pressing pastoral need to recognise the hopes and dreams, the disappointments and frustrations of all those Catholics who had believed that Vatican II would bring about reform and renewal in the church. This is the need which Gabriel Daly sets out to address, out of a lifetime given to the study and teaching of theology, in The Church: Always in Need of Reform.
The story of the Dominicans, century by century, from the time of their foundation in 1216 – still the standard English language introduction to the full scope of Dominican history.
In this thoughtful and accessible commentary, Scripture scholar Denis McBride explores Luke’s Gospel as a message of hope and inclusion. With a deep awareness of Luke’s enduring impact, McBride highlights Jesus’ compassion for the vulnerable and marginalized—those often left outside the bounds of religious or social acceptance.
Blending solid scholarship with prayerful reflection, this book invites readers into a deeper, more personal encounter with the Gospel, encouraging both understanding and spiritual insight.
