  The Way of Belonging -...

  No one is a stranger to loneliness. Despite how social we are via text, chat, and notifications, we are far from being truly connected. We all want someone else to really see us and choose us for who we are. We want a place to finally fit in. But what if finding the right people or the right place is not the answer? 
   
   
   
  From her community-building background, Sarah E. Westfall takes our longing to belong as an invitation to embrace and extend the deep love of God. After years contemplating how she fit in and trying to earn acceptance, she realized "belonging is not something to attain, but someone to become." Through narrative, research, Scripture, and spiritual practice, she teaches how belonging is a way of being—a posture of welcome in the spirit of the Father who extends his arms to those returning and those who don't yet know they've resisted his love. 
   
   
   
  Whether you understand the perspective of the outsider in need of acceptance well or you're eager to include, the barriers to belonging can come down as Sarah gently guides us toward deep connection—a connection where our humanity draws us closer to people and envelops us in the heart of God. Embark with Sarah on this challenge that will awaken your empathy and affirm you with the truth of these words: "You are welcome."

  This book concentrates on Jesus in the Gospel of John by looking at stories, lessons taught by Jesus, and what Jesus said about some topics. The author seeks to identify, state, and distill specific profound truths from these passages. Knowing the truth is preliminary to believing the truth which leads to doing the truth. As you read through the chapters and consider profound truths, watch for some keywords and concepts. Watch for commands to obey and examples of obedience. Watch for commands to love and examples of love. Watch for examples of commands to give glory and examples of glory given. Watch for gifts and promises given. The format is to glean profound truths from the passages. Sometimes stores are paraphrased. Other times a lesson is summarized. Sometimes interesting points are added. Some chapters are very short while other chapters are much longer. Each chapter is a stand-alone chapter. Each is structured to be a lesson. Jesus is the greatest teacher and we can learn from Him. You will find some duplication because the passages overlap from stories, lessons, and topics.Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me,for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long (Psalms 25:4-5).

  Moreau: Portrait of a Founder brings to life the inspiring story of French priest Fr. Basil Moreau (1799-1873), and his founding of the Congregation of Holy Cross. Through a masterful blend of personal letters, historical documents, and vivid storytelling, this book is more than a biography; it presents stories of Moreau in the context of his time, supplemented with original correspondences and writings. This book explains how the events of Moreau’s age shaped the way he heard and responded to God’s call for his life, capturing the voices and situations that influenced his actions and beliefs.  Moreau was born in Le Mans, France in 1799, died in 1873, and was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI in 2007. He grew up in the aftermath of the French Revolution, and as a young priest, he felt compelled to revitalize a Church devastated by years of civil war. He gathered priests, brothers, and sisters together into a religious community with a mission to bring hope to the world.  Written in 1969 by Fr. Thomas Barrosse, CSC (1926-1994)—a former superior general of the Congregation and a professor at the University of Notre Dame—this updated edition brings to modern readers the foundational stories of the founding of Holy Cross. Br. Joel Giallanza, CSC, a student of Fr. Barrosse, edited this new edition to ensure that the text remains clear and accessible to anyone touched by Fr. Moreau’s legacy. Whether you are a member of the Holy Cross family or someone inspired by its mission, this book is a rich treasury of stories and insights into the heart and soul of a remarkable priest who dedicated himself to making God known, loved, and served by bringing the Gospel to a world in need.
