THE WORKS OF MERCY
Dear Parents: The purpose of this booklet on the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy is to teach your children the importance of the Great Commandment of Love of God and Neighbor. We show our love for God by loving our neighbor. The works of mercy are love in action based on our Lord’s Golden Rule: “Treat others the way you would have them treat you” (Matthew 7:12).
It is your duty as a parent to teach your children this fundamental rule of Christian living. Early in their life make your children aware of the enormous value as well as obligation of practicing love for the neighbor. Point out to your children by word and by example and out of their own growing experience how welcome a kind person is in any circle. Kindness based on love and respect is the fairest adornment of your home. Keep love in your home and God will be there. As St. John says: “God is love, and they who abide in love abide in God, and God in them” (I John 4:16). Father Lawrence G. Lovasik, S.V.D.

Inner Voice Of Love
$15.00Add to cartThis is Henri Nouwen’s “secret journal.” It was written during the most difficult period of his life, when he suddenly lost his self-esteem, his energy to live and work, his sense of being loved, even his hope in God. Although he experienced excruciating anguish and despair, he was still able to keep a journal in which he wrote each day a spiritual imperative to himself, which emerged from his conversations with friends and supporters.
For more than eight years, Nouwen felt that what he wrote was too raw and private to share with others. Instead he published ‘The Return of the Prodigal Son,’ in which he expressed some of the insights gained during his mental and spiritual crisis. But then friends asked him, “Why keep your anguish hidden from the many people who have been nurtured by your writing? Wouldn’t it be of consolation for many to know about the fierce inner battle that lies underneath so many of your spiritual insights?”
For the countless men and women who have to live through the pain of broken relationships or who suffer from the loss of a loved one, ‘The Inner Voice of Love’ offers new courage, new hope, even new life.
