Of Saints and Miracles
Author: Manuel Astur
Publisher: New Vessel Press
ISBN: 1954404077
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
"Poetic and magical ... Astur's language is meticulous and vivid."—Asymptote A literary crime novel about family conflict in the Spanish countryside: breathtaking, tragic, sensuous and magical. Marcelino lives alone on his parents’ farm, set deep in the beautiful but impoverished countryside of northern Spain. It’s the place where he grew up, the place where he doted on his baby brother, the place where he protected his mother from their father’s drunken rages. But when Marcelino’s brother tricks him out of his house and land, a moment of anger sparks a chain of events that can’t be reversed. Marcelino flees to the wild peaks of rural Asturias, becoming a cult hero as he evades the authorities. Into this, author Manuel Astur interweaves family tales and fables about the sun and the moon, about death and love, and offers glimpses into the lives of other villagers and the history of their community. Astur’s poetic language and seamless blend of lyricism with the grotesque renders this book a treasure for the reader. Of Saints and Miracles is a sensuous portrayal of an outcast’s struggle to survive in a chaotic world of both tragedy and magical splendor.

The Life and Miracles of Saint Maurus
Author: Odo (of Glanfeuil, Abbot)
Publisher: Cistercian Publications Books
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
"The first of Benedict's disciples to be identified by name in Gregory the Great's Life of the monastic founder, Maurus serves there to illustrate by example rather than abstract principles the monastic virtues which Benedict inculcated. As the Benedictine Rule spread across the Carolingian Empire in the ninth century, Maurus reappears again, this time as the apostle of Benedictine monasticism north of the Alps. The Abbey of Glanfeuil claimed him as its founder, and from there a Life - purported to be copied from an ancient manuscript - and a Little Book of his miracles extended devotion to Maurus throughout France, and beyond."--BOOK JACKET.

Nothing Short of a Miracle
Author: Patricia Treece
Publisher: Sophia Institute Press
ISBN: 1933184582
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
God doesn't need humans to work miracles for Him, but as veteran Catholic author Patricia Treece shows, it certainly seems His good pleasure to perform great miracles by means of human prayers and human hands. For more than a quarter century, Treece, America's most experienced and revered saint-watcher, has gathered numerous fascinating reports of miraculous healings brought about in our lifetime. Among them is the complete 2005 cure of Sr. Marie Simon-Pierre's advanced Parkinson's disease after she appealed for healing to the just-deceased Pope John Paul II. After intense scrutiny, the Vatican declared her healing miraculous, leading to John Paul's beatification and canonization. Here, too, are tales of scores of lesser-known healings brought to light by Treece's own investigations into little-known official Vatican documents, as well as from her many interviews with living witnesses of miraculous healings, including several whose healings have been accepted by the Vatican as grounds for the canonization of their intercessors. You'll read vivid but sober accounts of the lives and of the miracles wrought by some of the greatest healers of all, with details of a host of authenticated healings by André Bessette, John Bosco, Frances Cabrini, Solanus Casey, John Paul II, Padre Pio, Elizabeth Seton, Francis Xavier Seelos, Fulton Sheen, Mother Teresa, and other good men and women blessed by God with remarkable healing charisms. The healings documented here are not hasty judgments made by gullible, overwrought believers; they are instantaneous, complete, and permanent cures for which scientific medicine still has no explanations cures that also meet the Vatican's stringent seven-part test of authenticity. When faced with a woman skeptical about whether she could be cured, the healer Solanus Casey is reported to have said, Don't you know that God can cure cancer just as easily as the common cold? Not only can God do this: These pages show that He is doing it ... so often and so obviously that even in our day miraculous healings are giving pause to hardened skeptics and bringing joy to the hearts of believers who rightly see in them overwhelming evidence of God's love for each of us. May they bring joy to your heart as well and renew the confidence in His love that God yearns for you to have!
