Beschreibung

In "The Spiritual Works of Leo Tolstoy," a compilation of his philosophical essays, letters, and reflections, Tolstoy delves into profound questions concerning morality, faith, and the essence of a meaningful life. His literary style, characterized by introspective depth and ethical clarity, invites readers to ponder the intricate relationship between spiritual belief and daily existence. Rooted in the context of 19th-century Russian society, Tolstoy's work resonates with the existential struggles of individuals seeking purpose amid the challenges of modernity and the moral dilemmas posed by industrialization and materialism. Leo Tolstoy, a towering figure in world literature, was deeply influenced by his own spiritual crises and the experiences of war and peace. His writings frequently reflect his evolution from a successful novelist to a moral philosopher devoted to exploring the nature of love, compassion, and nonviolent resistance. The transformative power of faith profoundly shapes this body of work, showcasing his later abandonment of wealth and societal norms in favor of an ascetic lifestyle that sought to align personal actions with universal moral principles. This collection is an essential read for anyone intrigued by the intersection of literature and spirituality. Tolstoy's insights remain strikingly relevant, urging readers to reflect on their own ethical beliefs and the broader implications of their existence. "The Spiritual Works of Leo Tolstoy" serves as a guiding light for those navigating the complexities of the human experience.

Letters to Priests by Joanne...

Joanne Mckenna

His holiness Pope Benedict XVI established a special year for priests in 2009. The hope was to “encourage priests as they strive for spiritual perfection because, of course, on this the effectiveness of their ministry depends.”Ten years later, on the 160th anniversary of John Vianney, patron saint of priests, his holiness Pope Francis addressed a letter to priests saying in part;  “I write to all my brother priests who have quietly “left all behind” in order to immerse yourselves like the Cure of Ars “in the trenches”, bearing the burden of the day, confronting an endless variety of situations in your effort to care for and accompany God’s people.  Despite the hardships of the journey, you are writing the finest pages of the priestly life.”

In Deep Waters - Spiritual Care...

Talitha Amadea Aho

The starting point for In Deep Water: Spiritual Care for Young People in a Climate Crisis is not news: the world as we know it is shifting. Several millennia of climate stability have come to an abrupt end. 
 
 
 
But, observes Talitha Amadea Aho, the young people of today do not remember stability. They see the world through crisis-colored glasses. Climate change is creating a spiritual emergency that is hitting their generation harder than any other. 
 
 
 
Today's climate crisis calls people of faith to a communal spiritual practice of care, especially for those who are more vulnerable because of their youth—the children, youth, and young adults of Generation Z. We must learn how to offer spiritual care that is informed by the spiritual-ecological crisis of their generation. 
 
 
 
This book will help you keep young people at the center of your community and listen to the troubles they have to share. Whether you are a Gen Z peer or a caring adult of any other generation, In Deep Water will show you how to offer ecologically informed spiritual care.
