Paperback. Condition: Very Good. When Pope Francis' pontificate has passed, it's very likely that one of the nineteen cardinals featured in these pages will be elected to become the next Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church, the spiritual leader of over a billion Catholics and the most influential and widely respected moral and religious figure in the world. Yet outside the Vatican walls, despite the considerable roles that some of these men play in the Church and in the world, few of them are known by the public - or even by their brother cardinals. Hence this book, an engrossing and thoroughly documented instrument through which a future pope maybe known in that sphere that matters most: his life and service, first as a priest and then as a bishop. Written by the National Catholic Register's longtime Rome correspondent, Edward Pentin, in collaboration with an international team of qualified scholars, these encyclopedic pages present you with the fruit of years of research. Each cardinal profile begins with a brief biography that sketches the major points of his ecclesiastical life. Then comes a detailed, richly footnoted report and assessment of his three fundamental roles as a successor to the apostles: his sanctifying role as a priest, his governing role as a bishop, and his prophetic role as a teacher. As an important bonus, these pages also carefully document many of the candidates' published views on moral and theological issues currently debated in the Church and in the public arena, as such views often reveal most efficiently the individual's true character and deepest-held beliefs. Finally, each profile concludes with a summary, recapitulating the main points brought to light by the thorough research, giving readers and tomorrow's cardinal-electors a fair and accurate picture of the man who may soon become The Next Pope.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Author Edward Pentin is donating 100% of his royalties to Mother Maria's congregation.What does trusting god with everything look like? Mother Maria Stieren lived the answer a " through the Cross.She walked into an abandoned church in the Tanzanian desert with just pocket change, a breviary, and an unshakeable conviction that God had sent her. She was right.Born in Munich in 1923 as Lydia Eva Christina, she grew up under Nazism, entered religious life after the war, and spent decades in teaching, health care, and contemplative prayer. Then came a deeper call: to serve the poorest of the poor and meet Christ precisely where He suffers: in the Eucharist and in His people.What followed was not success in any ordinary sense but fruit born of the Cross.From that hidden beginning emerged a global mission: religious houses, parishes, hospitals, orphanages, schools, and farms across Africa, Latin America, and Europe, all flowing from a woman barely five feet tall, guided by a single question: Where does Jesus suffer the most?Her answer led her again and again into sacrifice, obscurity, illness, and opposition. Yet it was there a " at the foot of the Cross a " A that her work took root, grew, and flourished.In these pages, you will encounter a woman of heroic virtue whose inspiring life was characterized by: Courage, for stepping into the unknown again and again in the face of hardship, illness, and persecutionFidelity, which attracted thousands to the Faith and the sacramentsLove, poured out in service to the forgotten and unwantedReverence, rooted in Eucharistic Adoration and deep union with the crucified ChristAnd a living witness to the Faith that continues in the congregation she foundedClergy, religious, and laity who knew her called her a saint. The life she lived a " marked by surrender, prayer, and a reckless trust in Goda (TM)s providence a " is more than a remarkable story to admire. It is an invitation to follow suit.This is what it looks like when a soul says yes. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
