As the twenty-first century approaches there is increasing popular and scholarly interest in the Book of Revelation. In this comprehensive CD program, Rev. Daniel Harrington uncovers what this book really says, and explores it as a part of our religious heritage and as a rich research for Christian theology.

Do you live every day with a wave of other people’s emotions crashing down on you? Have you ever felt the weight and responsibility of the world on your shoulders? I am not sure if you have realized it yet, but if you answered “yes” to the questions above, then you possess the gift and power of being an empath. The constant care for other people’s emotions can cause waves of stress and anxiety.

Emmaus: The Nature of the Way, is a series of journal entries from 22 Jesuit Priests, as they recount personal stories of doubt, death, addiction, love, and peace.

Wizened and invigorated by their losses, fears, and ultimate triumph in the elven ruins of Kadason, the Heroes of Dragon’s Nest seek to continue the mission of their looming benefactor by traveling on to the magic-infused stronghold of Falcon Crest. Arriving in the great city, however, they find its people as distrusting of outsiders — especially those of half-breed blood — as they are enamored with their protectors; the Samanir Order and its champions.

Le portrait de Jésus que dessinent les trois premiers évangiles tout au long du récit de la Passion et de la Résurrection laisse apparaître, comme en filigrane, toute une série de figures du Premier Testament : "les figures de l'origine", Adam, Abel, Noé, Abraham et Joseph ; "les figures de l'histoire", de Moïse à Jérémie en passant par Josué, David surtout et Élie; "la figure de la fin" avec le serviteur souffrant qui représente la fin des figures.

"Man kann im Leben vor vielem erfolgreich auf der Flucht sein. Vor sich selbst aber nie" (Michael Bordt). Warum ist es so schwer, sich selbst zu erkennen und zu akzeptieren? Wie findet man die innere Freiheit - die Freiheit, sein eigenes Leben zu führen und nicht das Leben, das andere von einem erwarten? Michael Bordt, Jesuit, Philosophieprofessor und Vorstand des Instituts für Philosophie und Leadership hat mit "Die Kunst sich selbst auszuhalten" einen klaren Leitfaden dafür verfasst.

Marisa McLaughlin's first meeting with a true fan wasn't anything like she would've expected: the fan offers to murder Marisa's cheating husband.

The Covid-19 pandemic was raging as Annie fought to keep Liam, her family and herself out of danger. It would take every bit of her remarkable intellect and her incredible ingenuity to achieve this. All the while, she had another struggle on her hands – to maintain her focus and achieve the ambition that involvement with Liam was threatening to derail.

In the fight to save a dying land, can there still be a victor? Their champion lost, those who still stand against the Supremacy fight on in the wake of their latest defeat. Cornered at last, and with no hope of escape, the family Nadon left behind must unite the land against a common foe. It's become a war of survival, but, when things are at their darkest, hope returns to rally Atala's defenders for one final, desperate gambit. With the noose ever-tightening, Nadon's family is pushed to their limit.

Falcon Crest and its hidden machinations have taken much from the Heroes of Dragon’s Nest, but the cost just might not have been for nothing. Change is on the horizon in the form of holding the powerful to task and the possible formation of a new royal lineage. The burden of completing the task for ancient, now-revealed entity, however, soon pushes Jack, Tanner, Allie, and Gefnar back out across a war-torn continent, and new obstacles arise.

Back in the age where they belong, Jack, Tanner, Allie, and Gefnar have bid farewell to their friends in the lawless lands of Varbius, only to encounter an old acquaintance - one who extends to them a curious invitation from the eagle-blood King Shanedir. Intrigued and assured that the requested detour will not delay them long, the heroes of Dragon’s Nest agree to meet with Shanedir, a man strangely intent on uniting all the half-breed nations under a banner of peace.

Still grappling with the darkness they encountered on Nisaim, Jack, Tanner, Allie, and their new friend Gefnar are merely seeking a moment of peace back in the safety of Dragon’s Nest. But the band’s alliance of happenstance is solidified when an ancient face of evil imparts them with a dangerous task. And, with the town they’ve worked so hard to safeguard held for ransom, refusal is not an option.

"Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass es zu Krisen kommt, weil Menschen vergessen, auf was es im Leben eigentlich ankommt. Anders gesagt: weil sie in falschen Bildern vom glücklichen Leben gefangen sind. Weil Menschen sich von Dingen ihr Glück versprechen, die nicht glücklich machen" (Michael Bordt). Der Jesuit und Philosophieprofessor Michael Bordt macht Mut, sich auf die Suche nach einem gelungenen Leben zu begeben.

Nous sommes habités par plus grand que nous-mêmes, mais nous n'en sommes pas conscients. Nous sommes pour ainsi dire endormis, emprisonnés dans le sommeil de l'insouciance ou de l'habitude. Nous avons besoin de nous éveiller aux réalités de la vie intérieure et de la foi, de décaper le verni de l'accoutumance qui les recouvre pour dynamiser et densifier notre vie, pour expérimenter à quel point elle est belle et à quel point elle est pleine de sens. L'enseignement des jésuites à la portée de tous.

L'auteur propose une réflexion qui sait nous rejoindre là où nous en sommes dans notre cheminement de foi. Tantôt réflexions, tantôt méditations, tantôt prières, ces textes offrent de nombreuses pistes pour éclairer et encourager nos recherches, et nous donner le goût d'entrer dans le mystère. Il n'est pas besoin d'avoir longtemps fréquenté les Évangiles ou longtemps exploré le contenu de notre foi chrétienne pour découvrir qu'il existe beaucoup de paradoxes dans notre religion.
