Описание: In Pope Francis' Misericordiae Vultus, he writes "During this Jubilee Year of Mercy, we look forward to the experience of opening our hearts to those living on the outermost fringes of society."Dr. Mary Elizabeth O'Brien, OP, has completed a comprehensive study of the life and ministry of Blessed Margaret of Castello, a thirteenth century Dominican Tertiary. Blessed Margaret's life, as illustrated in Dr. O'Brien's work, vividly exemplifies what Pope Francis is calling all people of the world to embrace, to become ministers of mercy and compassion. Margaret, born blind and with serious physical challenges, abandoned by her parents and left homeless, experienced firsthand the indifference and suffering of those she was called by God to serve, the poor, the sick and the outcast. With a profound faith in a Loving Father, she brought hope and healing to the lost and the unwanted. This ministry is what we are called upon to embrace today; to transform our world so that every person is loved and cared for as the summit of God's creative genius. Blessed Margaret's life gives us this model of mercy and compassion.

Описание: Margaret George`s enthralling new novel about the legendary Queen Elizabeth I
The Master as I Saw Him is a humble and intelligent description of Swami Vivekanada's life through the eyes of a close disciple, Sister Nivedita.
The Master as I Saw Him The Master as I Saw Him is famous for its chronicling of intense spiritual experiences. Among the many gripping anecdotes that occur in this book are: Lord Buddha manifesting before Vivekananda as he sat meditating in his room; the bestowing of the boon of "death at will" by Lord Shiva; his hearing of the divine voice of 'the Mother'; his experience of Samadhi; the Swami's vision of an ancient Rishi chanting Sanskrit mantras in an ancient long-forgotten rhythm; and, his encounter with distressed spirits who had committed suicide.
The Master as I Saw Him is now considered to be a classic text.
Review
"It has enough Western interpretation to make it relatable to a Western reader, but without losing the intensity or freshness of this remarkable life - a life instrumental in bringing Indian spiritual traditions to the West. It gives fascinating insights, not only into what it was like to be with Swami Vivekananda in person, but also insights into his teachings. It is moving and often breath-taking, without at any point being sentimental." -Sumangali Morhall
About Sister Nivedita
Sister Nivedita born as Margaret Noble, grew up in Ireland. At the young age of 28 years, while working as the principal of a London school, she first heard Swami Vivekananda speak. He by then was a world-famous monk and preacher of Vedanta Philosophy.
The year was 1895 (19 years preceding World War I), a time of growing misery and rising disparity between rich and poor in Europe. Sister Nivedita greatly disillusioned by the "vulgarity of privilege, and the growing sadness and pain of the dispossessed", heard in the Swami "a call which would change her life".
By age 30 this courageous daughter of the West, had taken to monasticism and sailed thousands of miles across to India, to assist Swami Vivekananda in his work of setting up an educational institution for women in India.
For nearly a year and a half, Sister Nivedita studied Vedanta philosophy, India, her history and customs, under the close discipleship of Swami Vivekananda. It was during these years that she dutifully noted down her interactions with the Swami, and left them as a priceless gift for millions to come later, who would not have this privilege.
She later returned to London for a brief period to gather funds and other assistance for her work in India. When she returned, in 1902, it was time to bid farewell to her guru, Swami Vivekananda, who gave up his body shortly thereafter.
Sister Nivedita was a remarkable lady, whose tremendous love for India shines forth in her numerous books. It was as acknowledgement to her steadfast dedication to India's upliftment, as well as to her monastic vow of realizing God, that Swami Vivekananda beautifully named her "Nivedita - The Dedicated One."

Описание: In Royal Sisters, Anne Edwards, author of the best-selling Vivien Leigh: A Biography and Matriarch: Queen Mary and the House of Windsor, has written the first dual biography of Elizabeth, the princess who was to become Queen, and her younger sister, Margaret, who was to be her subject. From birth to maturity, they were the stuff of which dreams are made. "I`m three and you`re four," the future Queen, then a child, imperiously informed her sister. The younger girl, not understanding this reference to their position in the succession, proudly countered, "No, you`re not. I`m three, you`re seven." The royal sisters had no choice in their historic positions, but behind the palace gates and within the all-too-human confines of their personalities, they displayed tremendous individuality and suffered the usual symptoms of sibling rivalry. Royal Sisters provides an unprecedented and intimate portrait of these most famous siblings during their formative and dramatic youthful years. It is also one of the twentieth century`s most fascinating stories of sisterly loyalty. Edwards`s book is an honest look at how the royal sisters feel toward each other, their parents, their close relations and the men whom they have loved. It openly discusses, with new insights and information, the romance of Elizabeth and Philip and the tragic aborted love affair between Margaret and Group Captain Peter Townsend, and it has a cast of characters ranging from the youthful sisters` suitors to Winston Churchill and the entire Royal Family. It is also the story of the making of a queen, of the high drama of her situation in the Townsend affair, of the real effect their uncle`s abdication had on the sisters` lives, and of the internecine feuds that have brewed within the Royal Family since that time. Brought vividly to life through the many personal interviews of close royal associates, filled with new facts, previously unpublished anecdotes and photographs, Royal Sisters is a never-before-glimpsed look at the relationship of the Queen and Princess Margaret.
