The journey to God is sustained by the exercise of the three theological virtues: faith, hope, and charity. But how do we properly understand and live out these virtues in the modern world? In Faith, Hope, and Charity, Preacher to the Papal Household Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa utilizes a liturgical framework to lead us deeper into the practice of the theological virtues. Developing a series of sermons delivered in the presence of Pope John Paul II in 1992 and Pope Francis in 2022, Cardinal Cantalamessa opens up a spiritual journey to Bethlehem in short daily stretches in the footsteps of the Magi. Drawing on ancient tradition while facing the existential challenges of the present age, these reflections encourage all of us--modern Magi from the West--to lay down our gifts before the Great King: faith, hope, and charity.

For over forty years, the Capuchin Father Raniero Cantalamessa, in his role as Preacher to the Papal Household, has delivered a yearly homily in St. Peter's Basilica during the Good Friday liturgy. He has offered his meditations in the presence of the last three popes: Pope John Paul II from 1980 to 2005, Pope Benedict XVI from 2006 to 2012, and Pope Francis from 2013 to 2022. As in St. John's Gospel and the early Church, Good Friday marks the hour of the death of Christ and at the same time of his exaltation and his victory over sin and suffering--a day of mourning but even more of rejoicing. The whole Paschal Mystery is commemorated in it. These insightful and moving sermons not only illuminate the mystery of the Lord's Passion; they are also a precious instrument in view of a New Evangelization in "Spirit and power." Cardinal Cantalamessa gazes on the cross of Christ in the light of our modern world, and the modern world in the light of Christ's cross.

2021 Catholic Media Association Award third place award in church professional Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, OFM Cap, preacher to the papal household for over forty years, graciously accepted Pope Francis’s invitation to lead a six-day retreat for the bishops of the United States in January 2019. Shepherds and Fishermen contains the reflections and meditations that guided this gathering, presented in an accessible format for groups and individuals seeking spiritual and ministerial inspiration.Shepherds and Fishermen lifts up the words of Mark 3:14: “He appointed twelve . . . that they might be with him and he might send them forth to preach.” Reflections and meditations offered in lectio divina, homilies, and liturgies focus on what it means to “be with Jesus” while also “going forth to preach.” Retreatants will reflect upon the ways their ministry is dependent upon both personal sanctification and pastoral activity.The twenty-six scripturally based and culturally relevant meditations make Shepherds and Fishermen an ideal companion for a self-directed retreat or a prolonged spiritual exercise. As Jesus’s call to be shepherds of sheep and fishers of men is addressed to every baptized person, the wisdom shared in this book will be treasured by bishops, priests, deacons, religious, candidates, and seminarians, as well as laity who wish to deepen their spiritual lives.

A beloved modern-day saint, St. Teresa of Calcutta continues to be a source of inspiration over twenty years after her death. She gave God her complete yes and became one of the most well-known and inspiring women of the twentieth century. Fr. Cantalamessa, Preacher to the Papal Household since 1980, invites us to say yes to God's voice in our lives and overcome the obstacles that can distract or discourage us along the way.

Jesus Christ: The Holy One of God is a series of meditations on Christ: two are devoted to the humanity of Christ, two to his divinity, and two to his unity of person. Father Cantalamessa concludes with a critical evaluation of the theses recently advanced in certain so-called new Christologies. Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, O.F.M. Cap., formerly professor of history of early Christianity and head of the department of religious sciences at the University of Milan, serves as the preacher to the papal household. His other titles include: Mystery of Christmas; Mary: Mirror of the Church; The Eucharist: Our Sanctification; Easter in the Early Church; The Mystery of Easter; The Mystery of God's Word; and The Holy Spirit in the Life of Jesus.

Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, preacher to the papal household, delves into the mystery of mercy, both human and divine. Jesus is "the mercy of God who became flesh," and it is his gaze of mercy that transforms us. Among the Gospel passages he explores are Jesus' encounters with Zacchaeus and the woman caught in adultery as well as the passion of Jesus, "the height of God's mercy," and his resurrection, "the victory of God's mercy." He also reminds us that just as we are recipients of God's mercy, we are called to be merciful to others. Insightful and inspiring

Fran ois est l'homme universel; pendant sa vie, il parlait tous, savants et ignorants, et m me aux oiseaux et aux loups, selon la l gende franciscaine. On ne peut pas parler de Fran ois sinon "franciscainement", c'est- -dire d'une fa on simple, directe et, autant que possible, aussi po tique. On conna t la question que fr re Masseo posa un jour br le-pourpoint Fran ois: Pourquoi tous viennent- ils toi? Pourquoi tout le monde te coure-t-il apr s?. La question se pose aujourd'hui plus forte raison, parce que le monde qui est attir par St. Fran ois, n'est plus, comme au temps de fr re Masseo, le petit monde de l'Italie centrale, mais litt ralement le monde entier, y compris beaucoup de non croyants ou de croyants d'autres religions.

Francisco o homem universal; em vida ele falava a todos, doutos ou ignorantes, at mesmo segundo a legenda franciscana, aos p ssaros e ao lobo. De Francisco n o se pode falar se n o "franciscanamente", de forma simples, direta e, se poss vel, po tica. not vel a pergunta que frei Masseo dirigiu um dia a queima-roupa a Francisco: Por que todos a voc ? Porque o mundo inteiro est correndo atr s de voc ?. A quest o se p e hoje com mais raz es de outrora, porque o mundo que vai atr s do santo, n o mais, como no tempo de Frei Masseo, o pequeno mundo da regi o central da It lia, mas literalmente todo o mundo, incluindo muitos n o crentes ou crentes de outras religi es.

Franziskus ist der universale Mensch; zu Lebzeiten sprach er zu allen, den Gelehrten genauso wie den Ungebildeten, und der franziskanischen Legende zufolge sogar mit den V geln und dem Wolf. ber Franziskus kann man nur " auf franziskanische Weise" sprechen, das hei t auf einfache und direkte Art; und f r die, die es k nnen, auch aufpoetische Weise.Bekannt ist die Frage, die Bruder Masseo eines Tages unvermittelt an Franziskus richtete: Warum dir? Warum folgt dir die ganze Welt?. Diese Frage ist heute umso berechtigter, da die Welt, die sich f r den Heiligen interessiert, nicht mehr nur die kleine Welt des Mittelalterlichen Italiens ist, sondern buchst blich die ganze Welt, inklusive vieler Nichtgl ubiger oder Gl ubiger anderer Religionen.

Francesco l'uomo universale; in vita egli parlava a tutti, dotti e ignoranti, perfino, secondo la leggenda francescana, agli uccelli e al lupo. Di Francesco non si pu parlare se non "francescanamente", in maniera semplice, diretta e, se possibile, poetica. nota la domanda che frate Masseo rivolse un giorno a bruciapelo a Francesco: "Perch tutti a te? Perch tutto il mondo corre dietro a te?". L'interrogativo si pone oggi con pi ragione di allora, perch il mondo che va dietro al santo, non pi , come al tempo di frate Masseo, il piccolo mondo dell'Italia centrale, ma letteralmente tutto il mondo, compresi molti non credenti o credenti di altre religioni.

San Francisco es el hombre universal; en vida hablaba a todos, doctores e ignorantes, hasta, seg n la Leyenda franciscana, a los p jaros y al lobo. De Francisco no se puede hablar si no "franciscanamente", en manera simple, directa y po tica. Es conocida la pregunta que Fray Maseo dirige un d a a quemarropa a Francisco: Por qu todos a ti? Por qu todo el mundo va detr s de ti?. El interrogativo se pone hoy con mayor raz n: porque el mundo que va tras el santo, no es m s, como en tiempo de Fray Maseo, el peque o mundo de la Italia Central, sino literalmente todo el mundo, comprendidos muchos no creyentes y creyentes de otras religiones.

In this volume, a thoroughly revised and expanded version of The Mystery of God's Word, Father Raniero Cantalamessa engages the profound idea of the Eternal Word that becomes Life. The main and constant focus of the book is to show how the word of God illuminates and engages our existence. Cantalamessa uses the words of Scripture, particularly those of Jesus, to reflect on the meaning of a God who speaks, a God who is in relationship with humanity. By encountering these words in prayer and liturgy, we are invited to allow them into our minds and hearts so that we may be bearers of the word of God in the world.Raniero Cantalamessa, OFM Cap, taught the history of Christian origins at the Catholic University of Milan and served on the International Theological Commission. He devotes his ministry to preaching and writing, and since 1980 he has been the Preacher to the Papal Household. Cantalamessa is author of Come, Creator Spirit; Mary: Mirror of the Church; The Eucharist: Our Sanctification; Easter: Meditations on the Resurrection; The Holy Spirit in the Life of Jesus; The Mystery of Easter; The Mystery of Pentecost; and Life in Christ (al published by Liturgical Press).

What place does Christ have in our modern society? Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, the preacher to the papal household, posed that question in a series of Advent and Lent meditations presented to Pope Benedict XVI. In Remember Jesus Christ, which is based on these meditations, he explains that in order to bring people to Christ today, the Church needs to proclaim, as simply and succintly as the apostles did, that "Jesus Christ is Lord " And the essential core of that proclamation is the passion and death of Jesus, because the cross of Christ is the supreme proof of God's love for us. Scripture, personal testimonies, and allusions to works of art reinforce Cantalamessa's powerful and prophetic message, leaving readers with hope and expectant faith in the future of Christianity in the modern world. About the author: Fr. Ranierio Cantalamessa was born in Italy in 1934 and was ordained a Capuchin Franciscan priest in 1958. He taught at the Catholic University of Milan until 1979. In 1980 he was appointed as preacher to the papal household by Pope John Paul II. He still serves in that capacity, preaching a weekly sermon during both Lent and Advent in the presence of Pope Benedict XVI. He is a frequent and popular speaker at international conferences and ecumenical conferences and rallies.

Unity, joy, simplicity, beauty, truth-these are the hallmarks of the three Persons in one God, the Trinity. In Contemplating the Trinity, Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, the preacher to the papal household, invites readers to turn to the Trinity so that they can enter into and experience the relationship of love that the divine Persons share with one another.

Written particularly for the Charismatic Renewal in the English-speaking world, Come, Creator Spirit is a helpful guide for a better understanding of the Holy Spirit.
