A Man Who Knew How to Forgive -...

Francesc Faus

Forgiving is no easy task: in fact, it may be the most difficult endeavor one can undertake. St. Josemaría Escrivá, the founder of Opus Dei, said, “I didn’t need to learn how to forgive, because God has taught me how to love.” Still, even this saint struggled with the trying task of forgiving. This collection of anecdotes from his life explores his experiences in offering and accepting forgiveness. 
Life as a priest in the midst of the violent Spanish Civil War offered St. Josemaría countless opportunities to practice forgiveness. Owing to an attitude of prayer, mortification, and total confidence in God, he was as immediate and resolute in forgiving in dramatic situations as he was in the ordinary circumstances of everyday life. He knew when a situation necessitated silence, and was always prompt in offering an apology when he found himself in the wrong. Readers will find themselves equally amazed and humbled by the gentle charity that contributed to Josemaría’s sainthood. 
In addition to anecdotes from St. Josemaría Escrivá's life, this powerful introduction to forgiveness includes a biography of St. Josemaría, an explanation of the message of Opus Dei, excerpts from Pope John Paul II at the canonization of St. Josemaría and Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI) at the beatification of Josemaría Escrivá, as well as resources for further information in print and online.

On Our Way Home from the...

Sonya Bilocerkowycz

In 2014 Sonya Bilocerkowycz is a tourist at a deadly revolution. At first she is enamored with the Ukrainians' idealism, which reminds her of her own patriotic family. But when the romantic revolution melts into a war with Russia, she becomes disillusioned, prompting a return home to the US and the diaspora community that raised her. As the daughter of a man who studies Ukrainian dissidents for a living, the granddaughter of war refugees, and the great-granddaughter of a gulag victim, Bilocerkowycz has inherited a legacy of political oppression. But what does it mean when she discovers a missing page from her family's survival story—one that raises questions about her own guilt? 
 
 
 
In these linked essays, Bilocerkowycz invites listeners to meet a swirling cast of post-Soviet characters, including a Russian intelligence officer who finds Osama bin Laden a few weeks after 9/11; a Ukrainian poet whose nose gets broken by Russian separatists; and a long-lost relative who drives a bus into the heart of Chernobyl. On Our Way Home from the Revolution muddles our easy distinctions between innocence and culpability, agency and fate.

Walden

Henry David Thoreau

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

"Walden" is a literary masterpiece written by the American philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau. It is a book that chronicles Thoreau's experience of living a simple life in a cabin on the shores of Walden Pond in Massachusetts for two years. Thoreau writes about his experiences fishing, hunting, and farming, as well as his observations of the wildlife and natural beauty around him. He also discusses his philosophical beliefs, including his ideas about individualism, self-reliance, and the importance of living in harmony with nature. One of the central themes of "Walden" is the idea that simplicity is the key to a fulfilling life. Thoreau argues that people often become distracted by the material trappings of modern society and lose sight of what truly matters. By living a simple life, Thoreau suggests that people can reconnect with nature, cultivate their creativity and imagination, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. Another important theme of the book is the idea of self-reliance. Thoreau believes that people should be self-sufficient and not rely on others for their basic needs. He advocates for a life of independence and individualism, arguing that people should strive to be self-reliant and not be swayed by societal pressures. Thoreau also explores the concept of time. He believes that time is a precious resource that should be used wisely. He encourages people to spend their time engaged in meaningful pursuits, such as reading, writing, and contemplation, rather than being consumed by the trivialities of daily life.
