The Franciscans: Who are they? How did they start? How have they grown? What do they do? What do they believe? Where are they today?
These are some of the questions this book will try to answer. And in answering those questions it will sketch a family portrait, that of the Franciscans, a picture of a family with its own memories, its own character, its own stories.
Catherine McAuley was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1778. In 1824 she used inheritance to build a large House of Mercy where she and other lay women would shelter homeless women, reach out to the sick and dying and educate poor girls.
This book is a collection of correspondence to and from Catherine McAuley between 1827 -1841.
This poetic book on the Trinity offers reflections on the mystery of God as a communion of persons in one Love, and spells out the implications of this for the spiritual life.
Pierre discusses how among the many images which the New Testament writers use to describe discipleship, one of the images which speak to him the most is that the life of a disciple is a journey. Journeying is so much part of the human experience meaning that discipleship, like a journey, is in some way an adventure. But actually, a journey is so often a succession of thrusts forward and of setbacks.

Matthew's gospel usually heads the list of the three synoptic gospels because he was an eye-witness from the beginning. A more scientific study of the synoptic gospels showed us that the question is not quite so simple.

'Any book that takes us back to the practice of Jesus is to be welcomed. Do This In Memory Of Me focuses on the role that meals played in the ministry of Jesus. He scandalised the pious by welcoming sinners and eating with them. It is the same Jesus that we encounter in the Eucharist. Therefore, the Eucharist must be a place where sinners experience acceptance, healing and forgiveness. When Jesus says, "Do this in memory of me", he is saying that we, too, must welcome sinners and eat with them. Therein lies a great challenge. Simson deserves our gratitude for spelling it out so clearly.'- Flor McCarthy SDB, author of New Sunday and Holy Day Liturgies
This book addresses the questions of why poverty and social exclusion continue to be the norm for so many people in a society with a Christian background and in which sufficient resources exist to tackle this issue effectively.
