The essays in Sobrino's latest collection bear on one of the most pressing signs of the times: the existence of a "crucified people, " the poor and oppressed of our world, whose suffering presents Christian faith with an urgent demand - that we "take them down from the cross." Writing from the Salvadoran context, he presents a "theology of mercy, " reflecting on the principles of mercy and solidarity as the mode of Christian witness and discipleship in a world of conflict and suffering. In a personal introduction that sets the tone, Sobrino describes the evolution of his own thinking under the impact of the Salvadoran reality. Part One focuses on the essential character of mercy, and on the importance of shaping the mission of the church and the task of theology. Part Two analyzes the crucified reality of the Third World with specific reflections on salvation, forgiveness, and the grace of being forgiven. Part Three presents two manifestations of mercy: the reality of priesthood and solidarity. Finally, in a moving Afterword, Sobrino focuses on his martyred fellow Jesuits of the Central American University, a group who paid the ultimate price of mercy.
These nine stories from Stephen Guppy poignantly evoke the complex emotional terrain of children and teenagers from broken or dysfunctional families. These brilliantly conjured stories include a young Mormon girl from Utah and her mother who run away from the girl's stepfather only to drive into the radioactive dust cloud from an atomic bomb test. Two brothers in Edmonton disappear as their mother tries to protect them from a polio epidemic. A man recollects his disjointed childhood spent with a war bride mother as they shuttle back and forth across the west. Two twins blame their mentally challenged younger brother for their fragmented youth. A young man breaks with the hippie lifestyle of his parents only to discover that his wife is more comfortable with his counter-culture father than with him. A young boy struggles with his father's new girlfriend as her sons torment him and he reacts in an unexpected way. A frustrated daughter escapes her gambling family by cheating at cards. A lonely boy finds solace in fishing with his silent stepfather, and then years later repeats the experience with his own son. Each of these affecting stories reveals the fragility of childhood and family set against the treacherous and often incomprehensible backdrop of our volatile and dangerous world. Guppy is masterful in evoking the emotional charge of wounded youth.

Each of the St. Joseph Picture Books make wonderful gifts for baptisms, First Communion, birthdays, Christmas, or Easter. One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, The Works of Mercy, by popular author Father Lovasik, S.V.D., explains how children can live out the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. Teaching children about the works of mercy--acts of compassion directed toward meeting the needs of others--is essential for fostering empathy, kindness, and a sense of social responsibility. These works, which are traditionally divided into corporal (focused on physical needs) and spiritual (focused on emotional and spiritual support), encourage children to think beyond themselves and to consider the well-being of others. By practicing corporal works like feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, and visiting the sick, children learn the value of generosity and the impact they can have on their community. Introducing children to the spiritual works, such as comforting those in sorrow, teaching others, and forgiving, helps them develop emotional intelligence and the ability to connect with people on a deeper level. They learn to be patient, understanding, and supportive, qualities that are essential for building strong, meaningful relationships. As children grow, engaging in the works of mercy helps them build character, understand social justice, and appreciate the importance of service. These experiences not only prepare them to contribute positively to society but also nurture their sense of purpose and fulfillment. Ultimately, learning about the works of mercy enables children to see themselves as agents of change, cultivating a lifelong commitment to kindness and empathy. Special Topics Include: The Corporal Works of Mercy To Feed the Hungry To Give Drink to the Thirsty To Clothe the Naked To Visit Those Who are in Prison To Shelter the Homeless TO Visit the Sick To Bury the Dead The Spiritual Works of Mercy To Admonish the Sinner To Instruct the Ignorant To Counsel the Doubtful To Comfort the Sorrowful To Bear Wrongs Patiently To Forgive Injuries To Pray for the Living and the Dead A Pray for Animals
