IMMANUEL'S LAND

Sinopsis del Libro

The design of this essay is to afford a glimpse of Immanuel's land; to exhibit some of the powerful attractions of that world of glory. To those who are asking the way to Zion, with their faces toward there, the author knows that his present theme will be at all times refreshing. Future felicity in Heaven is the most cheering subject that can be presented for the contemplation of the Christian in this valley of tears. What can be more delightful than for the weary pilgrim who is fast hastening to mansions in the skies, to meditate on the glories of his future home? There is much in this subject to animate us in the thorny pathway to immortality. It affords hope in life's darkest hour; it points with its glorious light to the realms of bliss, where no tear is ever shed and where no sorrow ever enters. There is much in Immanuel's land to engage our hearts in holy meditation while we sojourn as strangers and pilgrims here. The bright mansions of our Father's house- the many crowns of glory laid up for us there- the joyous rest that remains for our weary souls- the sweet employment of the redeemed in glory- the endeared society in the heavenly home; all are presented to attract us to heaven- to induce us to set our affections on things above. Then, let us fix our hearts more steadfastly upon heavenly joys- upon the glories of Immanuel's land. In handling this delightful subject, the Word of God has been our guide. To this blessed volume we are indebted for all the revelations that have been made of the glory of the celestial world. In the Bible we obtain a glimpse of the glorious land. May He whose infinite love fitted up those bright abodes of bliss, bless our present effort to the souls of men, in leading them to lay up their treasures in Heaven, and to choose that better part which shall never be taken away from them. Heavenly meditation is a delightful work, in which our souls should be daily engaged, until we enter the portals of glory, and begin our unending song in the paradise of God. O! may that sweet hour soon come. "O! soon may Heaven unclose to me! O! may I soon that glory see! And my faint, weary spirit, stand Within that happy, happy land!"

El Concilio Ecuménico Vaticano II, convocado por Juan XXIII, constituye como dijo Pablo VI al con-cluirlo, «uno de los mayores acontecimientos de la Iglesia» y, por ello, resulta una referencia clave en nuestro tiempo para todos los católicos y para otros muchos cristianos, creyentes y personas de buena voluntad. Desde el mismo mes de clausura de este Concilio Ecuménico, la BIBLIOTECA DE AUTORES CRISTIANOS ha venido publicando ininterrumpidamente, en sucesivas ediciones, los textos de las Constituciones, Decretos y Declaraciones aprobados en él, junto con otros del mismo ámbito...

The Collected Works of St. Teresa of Avila

This is the second edition of volume One of The Collected Works of St. Teresa of Avila, first woman doctor of the church. The translators have taken full advantage of all that recent scholarship has contributed to a better understanding of Teresa and her writings. This volume includes her first major work, The Book of Her Life, and two of her shorter works, the Spiritual Testimonies and the Soliloquies. Clear and contemporary, this rendering captures Teresa's spirit while remaining faithful to her thought. Includes general and biblical index.

El «encanto» de la vida consagrada

¿Ha perdido la vida consagrada su «encanto» y, por eso, no ejerce su atractivo sobre las nuevas generaciones? ¿O lo tiene y es necesario visibilizarlo? A estas preguntas quiere responder este libro, y lo hace analizando el significado de la alianza (la promesa de fidelidad y de la búsqueda del reino de Dios y de su justicia), y de los votos evangélicos. Lejos de entender la obediencia, la castidad y la pobreza como mandatos, obligaciones o exigencias, los consejos evangélicos son vistos como una desconexión de los «dioses y señores de la tierra», de las idolatrías del poder, del...
