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!

Thérèse of Lisieux has been called the greatest saint of modern times, but some view her spirituality as sentimental and syrupy. Joseph F. Schmidt, FSC, dispels that notion by contending that Thérèse's "little way" is really the gospel message-a message that can best be understood in the context of her life. Schmidt does a masterful job of weaving together biographical details with Thérèse's profound insights on God's love and mercy. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants an introduction to Thérèse's spirituality as well as for those who desire a deeper appreciation of her "little way"-a way that continues to speak to Catholics today.Includes photographs of Thérèse as a young girl and throughout her life.
