A remarkable teacher of Ignatian spiritualityIGNATIAN SPIRITUALITYTimothy M. Gallagher, O.M.V.Begin AgainThe Life and Spiritual Legacy of Bruno LanteriAs seenonEWTnBestselling author Timothy M. Gallagher,O.M.V., assembles a remarkable biography ofFather Bruno Lanteri, who while living withina context of exciting historical significance—with the French Revolution, the rise and fallof Napoleon, and the Bourbon Restorationreshaping France all around him—overcamegreat odds to become the foremost spiritualleader of the age, ultimately founding the Oblates of the Virgin Mary. Drawn from Lanteri’sown journals, letters, and correspondence,Gallagher offers a detailed spiritual portraitof a man once limited by his own impatienceand lack of charity, who evolved into a man offierce spiritual courage, religious reformer, defender of the Pope against Napoleon’s abusesand a symbol of perseverance who coinedthe term “begin again”—the official mottoof the Oblates. Complemented by a timelineof historical events, photographs, and maps,Gallagher’s richly researched volume brings tolight the ministry and legacy of a remarkableleader as never before.978-0-8245-2579-8 24.95 pb / 352 pagesWhy classic spiritualit y? Why Ignatian spiritualit y?Fr. Gallagher: Not many decades ago, the use of classic methodin prayer appeared confining: such constraints once removed,a person would be truly free to pray in the Spirit. Uninstructed“freedom,” however, has proven inadequate, and today wewitness renewed interest in classic teaching about prayer—classic, because such teaching answers the perennial questions:How do I begin to pray? Which approach is best suited for me?How may I understand my experience at prayer? My struggles inprayer? The artist taught by a skilled master is truly free to createbeauty; the spiritual person, taught by a skilled master, is trulyfree to pray. Among these masters, St. Ignatius of Loyola excelsin offering wise, flexible, and effective teaching about prayer.2WWW.CROSSROADPUBLISHING.COM

The first book by Pope Francis available in EnglishPOPES AND THE PAPACYPOPE FRANCISJorge Mario BergoglioOpen Mind, Faithful HeartReflections on Following JesusIntroduction by Gustavo Larrazábal CFMPrologue by José María ArancedoArchbishop of Santa Fe de la Vera CruzThis book is not just for reading. It is apath for prayer and a guide for life.Pope Francis connects with people, especiallythe young, the forgotten, and the forlorn.The cameras show him in Rome, in Brazil, inLampedusa reaching out to the crowds, holding infants, embracing the disabled.What is the source of his energy, and hisspiritual vitality? This book is perhaps thebest introduction to what makes the Pope theengaging pastor he is.“In this book is foundthe secretof Pope Francis.”—Archbishop Jose Maria ArancedoFROM THE INTRODUCTION“Among the large number of publications thathave appeared in the months since the conclave,we do well to distinguish between books ‘about’the Pope and books ‘of ’ the Pope. . . the Pope’sown books, of which this is one, come directlyfrom his own hand. . . . These are the books thatshow us all the depth and breadth of Francis,the new Pope.”During his years as archbishop of BuenosAires, Jorge Bergoglio often spoke to thosecollaborating with him in pastoral ministry.His constant theme was how to follow Jesusunreservedly, even in the hectic turmoil of ourmodern world. The texts of these talks, handpicked by the author for this volume, reveal thespiritual depths of Pope Francis as perhaps noother work does.The strong scriptural orientation of the Popeis evident in the countless references to bothOld Testament and New. To help the reader,this edition has supplemented the original textwith appropriate scriptural citations.The language of these pages speaks to theheart as much as to the mind. These aremeditations to be savored rather than just readquickly and filed away.978-0-8245-1997-1 29.95 hc / 320 pagesFROM THE BOOKWe must encounter our faith, the faith of our fathers and mothers, which is liberating in itself,without any added quality or qualification. Th is is the faith that makes us just before the Fatherwho created us, before the Son who redeemed us and called us to follow him, and before theSpirit who works directly in our hearts. In the moment of making concrete decisions, this faithwill lead us, through the Spirit’s anointing, to a clear knowledge of the limits of our own role;it will make us wise and intelligent in choosing the means we use; in the end, it will lead us toevangelical effectiveness that is far removed from both emotional ineptitude and easy-goingindifference. Our faith is revolutionary; it is a foundation unto itself.—Open Mind, Faithful Heart; “Chapter 5: Our Faith”6WWW.CROSSROADPUBLISHING.COM
