With the declining numbers of priests in the Catholic Church, the priesthood of the faithful, as defined in Lumen Gentium of Vatican II, is a sign of hope for the future of the church. But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people set apart. 1 Peter 2:9. Growing numbers of ecclesial lay ministers are helping fulfill the needs of the Body of Christ. This book gives innovative suggestions for an expanded role of the laity in the mission of the Church.

  

In this his first book, Bill Mena takes us on the personal journey of his life, or, as he says, of his two lives. Experience his transition from a semi-monastic life to coping with the pressures and pleasures of secular life. His early youth in the Americas; his schooling and ordination to the priesthood in Europe; his ministry in England and his return to America.

 

 Bill lets us into his personal struggle to resolve the conflict in which he found himself, a conflict between his loyalty and wish to serve in the Catholic Church, and his wish to find personal fulfillment. In his own words “The story that follows, then, is the story of my personal journey and rebellion...........my personal rebellion from a good student to a dedicated priest, to a frustrated cleric and eventually to a contented husband.”

 

The reader will get a glimpse into the life of one who has experienced equally the rewards of a compelling religious experience and the richness of secular life.

The beautiful, simple story of Juan Diego and how he encounters the Blessed Virgin Mary on his way to Mass one cold December morning, is told in a loving manner by the author Elizar Torres.  It is a story of how heaven views the virtue of humility, some say the most endearingf virtue of all the virtues.  Humility is what permits us to kneel before the cross of Christ and say , "Forgive me.  I am sorry."

This story is told for children and young adults of all ages. The drawings by the artist Joel Ramirez are superb and are done  with much attention to details.

Because God made a promise to Abraham concerning inheriting the land of Israel, a question arises. To which line of Abraham’s descendants was the Promise made? That’s important because they worship different Gods. This poses the problem, who is the true God? This is the question of the ages concerning all claims of Deity. All things of life and death depend on that answer. This book addresses questions from the perspective that the God of the Bible through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the true God and the God of true Christianity. It distinguishes between true and counterfeit Christianity. The war that started with Satan’s attempt to dethrone God and elevate himself to the Almighty is the defining factor of conflict. Association is made between spiritual determinations and earthly happenings. The next earthly event distinguishing where we are in time is the Russian invasion of Israel. The only remaining possibility for Satan’s success is stopping God from keeping His promise to Abraham. The mid-east peace problem is not just about ownership of land, but about “who is God”? Also addressed – doctrines and theories taught in error. Dispensations, covenants, and promises are defined. How Revelation is structured and plays out is explained. ne purpose of the book is to cause the reader to “think”. Not just about things termed “religious” but in truth, how all things are related, especially “political”. Hopefully it gives insight on how to prepare mentally, spiritually, and materially for what Scripture says will happen. Evidence shows we are the generation that experiences the Biblical end times and the fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham. America must choose – follow the true God or the Satanic one-world government! The book challenges the true Church to reestablish scripture as our highest authority and be about our task.

Helen and Her Sister Haiti A theological reection on the social, historical, economic, religious, political and national consciousness with a call to conversion. “Father St. Rose’s collection of poems captures the rich, vibrant African and European heritage of the Caribbean culture and landscape. Part I of the collection pays homage to the beauty of his native St. Lucia in a praise song to Helen. e collection proceeds to chronicle the development of the nation from the post colonial era to independence and ends with the protest poetry genre which captures the problems of developing Caribbean societies in the twenty-rst century. He weaves a ne tapestry of Greek mythology, and religious imagery infused with Creole folklore and poignant social commentary. e collection explores timeless themes of West Indian identity, independence, neocolonialism, politics and modernization. His use of poetic form with its strong emphasis on repetition, the cadence of the speaking voice and the powerful protest poetry genre reect the pulsating rhythms of the society and the poet’s undeniable passion for his art and the Caribbean community.” Contributed jointly by: Laurima Jacobs Assistant Lecturer, Department of Language and Communication, Sir Arthur Lewis Community College Ria St. Ange Bachellor of Arts (English Literature) MA Human Resource Management, Barbados

In “A Story Worth Telling” you learned who Lessie Myles is and the miraculous way in which Christ revealed Himself to her, and ultimately changed her life.  In this book “Bearing Fruit” Lessie shares new “Truths’ and answers questions most would dare to ask__like:  What was Jesus doing in Hell the three days and nights before His resurrection (Acts 2:31)?  Did fallen angels really have sexual intercourse with women of the earth (Gen.6:1-4)…and why did they stop?  Why were some Saints allowed to rise back to life after Christ’s crucifixion (Matt.27:51-53) and what happened to them?  Why were Enoch and Elijah exempt from physical death (2 Kings 2:11-12 & Heb.11: 5-6)?  In the beginning, if Eve was the only woman on the earth, how did her son Cain have descendants (Gen.4:16-17)?  Did Eve have sexual relations with her son in order to replenish the earth? These mysteries and other “Truths” are revealed through the pages of Bearing Fruit……….
