On that feast day of the Immaculate Conception, he explored how Mary, the Mother of Jesus, is an exemplar of mercy to the Church and the entire world. In a discreet but vital way she dispenses graces and favors with the compassion of a mother. His second essay on forgiveness in families hits home with everyone. No one has escaped the ill feeling and bitterness caused by strife and misunderstanding within the family, and yet the same family is intended to be the path for both earthly and eternal happiness. The author brings to light vivid examples of how lack of forgiveness causes severe damage while forgiveness heals and restores broken relationships. Finally, he uses the writings of St. Therese of Lisieux to show how trust in God’s mercy leads to extraordinary supernatural effects in one’s life and in the lives of those one touches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFr.

This tendency manifests itself in our spiritual as well as our secular life. In our search for God and holiness, in our service to our neighbor, a kind of restlessness and anxiety take the place of the confidence and peace which ought to be ours. What must we do to overcome the moments of fear and distress which assail us? How can we learn to place all our confidence in God and abandon ourselves into his loving care? This is what is taught in this simple, yet profound little treatise on peace of head. Taking concrete examples from our everyday life, the author invites us to respond in a Gospel fashion to the upsetting situations we must all confront. Since peace of heart is a pure gift of God, it is something we should seek, pursue and ask him for without cease. This book is here to help us in that pursuit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-id=\"o99oop-b8sfyp-r38cvw-o4qn5r\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-id=\"o99oop-b8sfyp-r38cvw-o4qn5r\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-id=\"o99oop-b8sfyp-r38cvw-o4qn5r\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-id=\"o99oop-b8sfyp-r38cvw-o4qn5r\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-id=\"o99oop-b8sfyp-r38cvw-o4qn5r\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-id=\"o99oop-b8sfyp-r38cvw-o4qn5r\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith over 400,000 copies sold in 18 languages, Fr.

After studying mathematics in college, he spent several years teaching and doing scientific research. In 1976, he met the then recently-founded Community of the Beatitudes and answered the Lord's call to follow Him through this vocation (see below for more information on the Community of the Beatitudes). He then spent several years in Jerusalem and Nazareth immersing himself in the study of Hebrew and the Jewish roots of Christianity. In 1981, he traveled to Rome to study theology and canon law and also began his work as a spiritual director, working in the formation of priests and seminarians of the Community. In 1994, he returned to France, where he assumed various responsibilities including spiritual direction, the development of training in the Community, and participation in its General Council. He has also preached retreats regularly in France and abroad and has consolidated his principal retreat themes into five books on spirituality. In recent years, he has devoted himself primarily to spiritual direction, preaching retreats, and working for the development of the Community in Asia and Oceania, where he travels frequently.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCommunaute des Beatitudes is an international association of the faithful of Pontifical Right founded in France in 1973.

In his new book, The Strangeness of Truth, Fr.

His insights are designed to awaken and remind his readers of the radical truths that surround them- that God holds our world in existence, that He became a man, and that He sacrificed Himself for us. Fr. Ferrence's writing is filled with wonder, reverence, and a keen observational sense, using concrete examples and crystal-clear observations to illuminate realities often spoken of as murky or abstract. The Strangeness of Truth will spark a renewed love and appreciation for the doctrines God has revealed, and help you see them with fresh eyes; not as they could be, but how they really are—beautiful, strange, and timeless.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" aria-expanded=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRev.
