In his down-to-earth yet profound reflections Fr. Wenig brings us back to the first days of Christianity, when the disciples were struggling with the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and all that it meant for their lives. He helps us unfold that same mystery in our lives today and shows how we can face the challenge and savor the joy of the paschal mystery. The Joy and the Challenge: Reflections on the Readings for the 50 Days of Easter is an ideal companion for RCIA neophytes and leaders, for preachers, for catechists-indeed for all Christians, not only during the Easter season but all year long. 144 pages; Twenty Third Publications Spring 2003.
The Holy Father's intent during this spectacular series of events he personally baptised as "World Youth Day" was to help people better understand and integrate their faith in their daily lives. With the help of expert photographers, skilled writers, and creative designers we have captured for you the fervour and joy with which "people of the Beautitudes" are called to live. May this souvenir album become for you a family album - an intimate record of your origins as children of God, and a constant reminder of your status as brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. 160 pages, Twenty Third Publications, Spring 2003
This is a practical book, for it has a foolproof game plan that, if followed well, will cut short dramatically our time of purgation in the next life. But, it is much more than that. This magnificent analysis of suffering, as to its cause, its value, and its ultimate effect (i.e., conformity to Christ, the Man of Sorrows) will give us more strength to bear not only our own cross, but to willingly share in the suffering Jesus endured for all men by accepting, as joyful victims, crosses vicariously borne for sinners within our own family, for our wayward friends, for the crimes of our nation, and for those dear to us who are languishing in Purgatory. Softcover 96 pages. Loretto Publications Spring 2003.
