Sober Intoxication of the Spirit                                      Cantalamessa                   STAN-T71 30

Filled With the Fullness of God. Acts 2:15: "These are not drunk, as you suppose..." What was going on that moved Peter to speak these opening words to the crowd that first Pentecost morning? How did the apostles experience the Holy Spirit? How did he empower them? What does this scene in the streets of Jerusalem mean for us today? The author offers pastoral advice and leads the reader through passages of Scripture and the Fathers of the Church to remind us of the incalculable power of the Spirit available to us. This spiritual "intoxication" purifies us of sin, renews the heart, enlightens the mind and brings us joy. As St. Augustine said of the Spirit, "He found you empty and he filled you...I like this kind of intoxication." This is a book for all who feel a need to open their lives more fully to the powerful breath of the Spirit which is blowing through the church today, "as in a new Pentecost." 176 pages. Paper.

Remember Jesus                                                                   Cantalamessa                   WDAM-251 093

Responding to the Challenges of Faith in Our Time. What place does Christ have in modern society? In a series of Advent and Lenten meditations presented to Pope Benedict XVI, Raniero Cantalamessa, preacher to the papal household, asked that question. This book, based on those meditations, argues that the church must become "fishers"" of men before becoming "shepherds" of men. It must proclaim, as the apostles did, that Jesus Christ is Lord! And the essential core of that proclamation is the passion and death of Jesus, because God is love and the cross of Christ is the supreme proof of that love. Scripture, personal testimonies, and allusions to works of art reinforce Cantalamessa's powerful and prophetic message. Paper, 5.25 x 8, 152 pages. (2007)
