Timothy P. O'Malley, McGrath Institute for Church Life

Beschreibung

Winner of two 2025 CMA Book Awards from the Catholic Media Association: The Future of the Church (First Place), and Pastoral Ministry Catechetical (Third Place).Embark on a transformative journey into the heart of Eucharistic worship with Behold, Believe, Become—where the ordinary becomes extraordinary and the Mass becomes a soul-saving, life-changing encounter with Christ, our Eucharistic Lord.In Behold, Believe, Become, Timothy P. O’Malley, a distinguished leader in the Eucharistic Revival movement and bestselling author of Becoming Eucharistic People and Real Presence, shows you how to see differently—through newly formed habits of contemplation—fifteen ordinary, physical things that the Church uses at Mass to point us toward Christ. You will explore layers of meaning found in noble doors and stained-glass windows, sunlight and water, oil and fire, altars and church pews, and bread and wine become Body and Blood. O’Malley helps you see how each element tells us something about who Christ is and who we are to become as Christian people.Inspired by the towering genius of the twentieth-century liturgical movement, Fr. Romano Guardini (1865–1968), O’Malley offers an unconventional walk through the Mass, highlighting that “matter matters.” This book doesn’t delve into the intricate history of Eucharistic Prayers or the doctrinal meaning of various words and actions. Instead, it provides a unique exploration of the material stuff of the Mass that we encounter from the time we enter the church until the time we depart at the end.Whether you’re seeking personal growth or exploring this journey with a small group, Behold, Believe, Become is the perfect companion, providing brief online videos featuring Rachel and Jason Bulman of "Meet the Bulmans" and chapter-ending reflection questions to help connect your everyday life to the celebration of Mass. And for those craving a communal experience, a small-group leader’s guide and parish planning kit make this an invaluable resource for parishes, schools, and other Catholic communities.Are you ready to witness the Mass in a new light? Behold, Believe, Become is your key to unlocking a richer, more meaningful Eucharistic experience.

Modesty - The Humble Approach -...

Esther Jameson

Modesty is often misunderstood in today's world, where self-expression and visibility are highly valued. It is not about suppression or hiding oneself but rather a way of living that reflects humility, self-respect, and grace. True modesty is not limited to clothing choices but extends to attitudes, behaviors, and the way individuals present themselves to the world. It is about carrying oneself with dignity and avoiding excess, whether in appearance, speech, or lifestyle.
Historically, modesty has been deeply rooted in various cultures and traditions, often shaped by religious and philosophical beliefs. Many ancient societies regarded it as a virtue, associating it with wisdom, purity, and moral integrity. From Eastern philosophies emphasizing balance and restraint to Western traditions valuing humility and grace, modesty has been a guiding principle across civilizations. Though its expression has evolved over time, its essence remains unchanged—a conscious effort to practice simplicity and mindfulness in one's actions.
In modern society, modesty can be challenging to uphold, as social norms constantly shift and external influences promote self-promotion and material success. The pressure to stand out and gain validation can lead individuals to adopt behaviors that prioritize recognition over authenticity. However, true confidence does not stem from external validation but from an inner sense of self-worth. A modest person does not seek attention or approval but remains secure in their values and choices. This quiet strength allows for deeper connections with others and a greater focus on personal growth rather than superficial appearances.

Is God Calling You? -...

PhD Bob Thiel

How do you know if God is calling you or not? How can you know? Dr. Thiel gives many scriptures that help you know if God is calling you. Many verses from the Bible are presented to prove that it is only a very small flock that is being called by God during the church age, the age we are now in - John 6: 65 "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father." Not everyone is being called by God at this time. 
Are you one of the elect? Are you one that is being called now? If so, why? Why is God calling you now? What is the purpose of your calling? Dr. Thiel answers this question with another verse from the Bible - 31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy. 32 For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all. (Romans 11:31-32). God is calling you now so that, through you, God might have mercy on all! 
What an awesome calling! You, if you accept God's call and overcome until the end, will have the opportunity to help multiple thousands, perhaps millions of others come to God in the age to come - 26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations — (Revelation 2:26). 
If you are being called now, Dr. Thiel provides verses that prove you were predestined to be called. But you must accept that calling. The choice is up to you. God won't force you to become part of His family. 
If God is calling you, what about the others? Are they lost? No! Dr. Thiel makes plain with many scriptures that God wants to have mercy on all, each in their own order. 
He is calling you now to help you develop Godly character. God's character is love. By developing true Godly love you will help make eternity a better place for all.
