Our background has been developing along the years ‘with one ear to the Gospel and the other to the people’1. It attempts to reflect a simple and pastoral style which, faithful to the Church’s mission, is inserted in the life of all the people of our time. This year, 2016, is an even more special one because we are delighted to be celebrating our 60th anniversary. What started as a little bookshop in Buenos Aires, to this dates has 7 owned bookshops and personalised services to different bookshops and distributing centres all over Argentina as well as Latin America and the Caribbean. One of our biggest challenges is the unification of all the publishing houses into Claret Publishing Group, through which we have been developing joined projects since 2011. The following publishing houses are part of the group at present: Bangalore, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Chennai, Colombo, Dar es Salaam, Lagos, Madrid, Macao, Manila, Owerri, São Paulo, Warsaw and Yaoundè. Our catalogue has a special emphasis today. We are living the Holy Year, in which Pope Francis is inviting us to learn about Mercy, to deepen it and to make it come alive in actions. Our books join that path in a way that God’s Love will not finish in 2016, but we invite everyone to be merciful just like your Father (Luke 6, 36). Moreover, we are living this year with great joy as a country in Argentina and in the whole of the Church. This year F. José Gabriel Brochero is being canonized. Also known as ‘the Argentinean Curé de Ars’, a way of evangelization and of following Christ that drives towards compassion and to serve others. As heirs of Claret’s charisma and committed to Church’s life, we continue looking for and creating the most suitable, efficient and appropriate means for the proclamation of Jesus freedom in a dialogue with cultures, new ways of living and society’s transformation.

BACK COVER | REVIEW This project, inspired in Praise be to you, my Lord, Pope Francis’ ‘green encyclical letter’, addresses religious education in the classroom from a different place. TEKORA is the looking after of the earth with our body, the water with our blood, the air with our breath, the fire with our spirit according to the Guaraní people. In it resounds all the voices of the native peoples, unreachable as the wind, reminding us the duty of honouring life in all its forms and protecting God’s dream for the Earth. TEKORA project transforms the classroom in an exploratory environment where the teacher and students rediscover together the gift of the creation, learn to recognise in a new way the presence of God in everything that exists, and to look after and being responsible for themselves, their brothers and sisters and nature, from a very young age. It focuses on comprehending the world as ‘the sacrament of communion’ and it announces that Jesus, with his Easter, makes everything new.

It promotes the knowledge of God the Father as Creator and life Giver. It describes the Creations as God’s work -a testament of his perfection, originality and infinite love – given to men and women for its custody and preservation. Different aspects are worked on from the stories, poetry, comics and songs, and biblical texts: gratitude, responsibility, diversity, contemplation and care. WATER appears as an essential, limited, non-renewable natural resource which is not available for all citizens of the world, and as a saving element (Baptism sign, birth to God’s family). It is personified in a drop called CLARA who acquires diverse characteristics and roles throughout the chapters.

BACK COVER | REVIEW Throughout life we may feel weak in several occasions; when facing difficulties, sadness, or eve, illnesses. Thus, an impulse to solve these situations by ourselves arises in us; we try to dominate the reins of the situation, and in our self-sufficiency, we try to get to a better place on our own. On these pages, the author invites us to put the focus on Jesus. He teaches us to come out of our enclosure and to set the sight away from the problems or challenges that trouble us; encouraging us to leave everything in the hand of the only one who has the power to transform these. To lean on this certainty, he narrates numerous testimonials on healings and miracles which will help us feed and strengthen our faith.
JOSÉ EUGENIO HOYOS was born in Guadalajara de Buga (Colombia) and he was ordained priest in the cathedral of such city. He studied theology at Santo Tomas de Bogotá University and later completed a master in Theology in the Catholic Theological Union, Chicado (USA). He has delivered classes on religion, ethics and philosophy at schools in Bogotá (Colombia) and, on top of his work as a priest, he has been the director of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal at Arlington diocese since 1990.

History, from start to end, provides us with testimonies of men and women who have proven with their lives that whenever we think in an adequate way, whenever we fight for our dreams, no matter where we start, we can succeed in life.

Once upon a time, and still today… Stories to tell, build and believe Marta Boiocchi
Universal values are in the state of seeds in the soul of all human beings. By stimulating those seeds with education, the child will recognise these in themselves and discover that they can and should grow. The stories in the Gospel are an important reference for the formation of temperament. They open the door for Children’S to discover the value that is already in their heart, waiting to be awaken.
AVAILABLE RIGHTS Collection: Once upon a time, and still today… Stories to tell, build and believe Autor: Marta Boiocch i Ilustraciones: Ram iro Pazo Pages: 32/48 Format: 17x22 cm Key words: Word of God. Short story. Values. Celebration. It includes an insert with a sheet of stickers.
REVIEW Children love storytelling, stories and narrations. They asked for them to be repeated over and over again. These stories to tell, build and believe try to take advantage of the innocence of the heart to present them with Jesus and God Father. On a biblical level, the book offers new interpretations of the Word of God, so as not to simply repeat the story of the Gospel and to lead to a fundamentalist reading of it, but to offer a simple presentation of God’s message - specially of the New Testament - accordingly with a respectful reading of the texts and contexts which joins life and faith. On a didactic level, they are entertaining stories which children will want to hear over and over again; which will awake their most noble feelings and will open their hearts to the Word of God, like a flower opens to the warmth of the sun.

BACK COVER | REVIEW Children, from a very young age, acquire the sense of what is sacred in a global way, perceptibly. Their growth is tied together to their awakening in faith and they start developing the sense of sacredness, mainly through the attitudes of the adults who surround them: parents, grandparent, relatives, teachers, among others. When children see us praying, turning to God, making the sign of the Holy Cross, participating in a procession or going to mass, among many other gestures and signs, they start learning that God is important to us and transcendent in our lives -not as something magical or superstitious -, as someone how loves us, looks after us, always protects us and someone who is always three for us.

BACK COVER | REVIEW The ‘First Announcement’, to be a true ‘First Announcement’, is the grace event that occurs in the encounter: God who goes passionately to the encounter of mankind, talks to their heart and, in that dialogue, they answer His calling by adhering or not’. Once this desire is sparked on us, it helps us to be part of the community and to communicate the God’s News; it forwards us to the mission. Love becomes the drive to help others. But… How? Where to start? In front of the changes the world has gone through and a Church that could not keep up with the circumstances, first we need to undo the path in order to start a new one. F. Carlos Tazzioli, F. Alberto Dagorret and Sr. Beatriz Casiello have formed a team to present us on these pages the fruit of their experience in segragated parishes in Concordia’s diocese (Argentina). On them, they propose to go back to the source by untangling together, under the light of the Holy Spirit, what the efficient and lively Word says to each of us, in the shape of communal encounter.

We are inserted in a new cultural paradigm where discourse is losing its strength giving way to new alternatives. Here is where catechists have new challenges.

As it is not a mere intellectual concept but of something incarnated in life, it needs examples, models, etc. So here we have a new resource to communicate something that is difficult to put in words: the broadcasting of cinematographic films. These pages provide us with a useful guide with over a hundred film titles. Its advantage is that they are grouped by ages, values and topics that appear in them, an and there is a brief description. It is an creative pastoral tool to be used in all areas where faith and love for the gospel is being spread.

‘The articles are evidently the fruit of many devoted years and of several reasons and motivations: preparing the classes to be delivered, seminars and bienniums on specific topics, magazine articles, collaborating in joined works, conferences in conventions and pastoral workshops for priests as well as lay people. Most of that material has been centred around one ‘articulating axis’, the sacraments that have been studied and analysed from different perspectives, applied to different situations and recipients.’ (Dionisio Borobio).
BACK COVER | REVIEW Dionisio Borobio is one of the sacramentologists in the Spanish language that has contributed the most to the sacramental theology since the Second Vatican Council. F Sergio Martín presents us with the principals of his theology and, from them, he approaches everything that is involved on the ministry of sacraments. His works emphases, within the sacramental theology, the principle by which you cannot separate the ministry from the sacrament. Otherwise, the ministry would be reduced to a mere ritual and ceremony, and the sacrament would be reduced to ideology and abstraction. It is about a topic that has not been dealt with until now. The author (…) has offered, in a unified presentation, what D. Borobio has encountered along his academic life. This is the contribution of the thesis and it is the reason why all later attempts to study sacramental theology by D. Borobio will not be able to dispense with the reading of Sergio Martín’s thesis.

Maybe the tension that battled between the Egyptian power and the Hebrew people were, little by little, awaking in Moses, a man with a passionate heart, the search for justice… and of his truth… Maybe his heart mother, the Princess, could no longer hide the real story… because her heart as a strong mother, who had rescued him from death, had also shaped in some way the heart of young Moses… He was not intimidated by the Pharaoh’s power either.’

Saint Luke is known as the ‘narrator of Christ’s gentleness’. On his gospel, differing form the other three, Jesus is constantly praying intimately with the Father, in unison with the Holy Spirit. Divine mercy is present in all his readings. Throughout these pages, we are invited to participate of that very same loving dialogue. By going through the journey of small moments of prayer, we will see God’s loving face. Small for its few words, for the concrete message, for the humbleness of those who present themselves to the Lord, but immense because it will reveal decisive moments, which will bring sense back to life and will fill them with joy.

There are some realities that are called ‘normal’, maybe because they are lived by everyone or maybe because they are part of our daily life. One of them it fidelity. Each of us, throughout life, experience fidelity – or not – towards oneself and towards others. It is not static; it has to be fed every day. It would seem that it is never enough as there are obstacles that makes it tremble.

JOSÉ GABRIEL DEL ROSARIO BROCHERO, also known as The Gaucho Priest, was born in Villa Santa Rosa (Córdoba, Argentina) in 1840. He was ordained a priest in 1866 and he performed his priestly ministry in Córdoba’s cathedral. Years later, he was chosen as Vicar for San Alberto region –today known as valle de Traslatierra – with the headquarters located in Villa del Tránsito. There, he adopted people’s needs as his own. With his bare hands, he built churches and chapels, he built schools and open roads among the mountains, encouraging people from these towns to help him and work together. In his old age, as the result of living with people who suffered from diseases, he contracted leprosy, causing him to lose his sight and become deaf. He died in 1914, in the same place where he performed, with such passion, his ministry. In September 2013 he was beatified and in January 2016 Pope Francis approved his canonization.

BACK COVER | REVIEW ‘The martyrdom, the being Church, the preference for the marginalized, the combination action-prayer are topics which Romero considered as pillars in Latin America in the seventies’ context. These words are still interpellations that affect us and they allow us to open a spiritual perspective or deepen it, considering the Other who we don’t usually consider as close to us’ (Ezequiel Fernández). ‘In that beautiful Central American country, bathed by the Pacific Ocean, Our Lord granted his Church a jealous Bishop, who loving God and serving his brothers and sisters, became an image of Christ the Good Shepherd. In times of difficult coexistence, Monsignor Romero knew how to lead, defend and protect his flock, remaining true to the Gospel and in communion with the whole Church. His ministry was distinguished by his especial attention to the most poor and marginalized. And in the time of his death, while celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of love and reconciliation, he received the grace to identify fully with He who gave his life for his sheep’ (Letter of His Holiness Pope Francis to Msgr Escobar Alas, archbishop of San Salvador).
EZEQUIEL FERNÁNDEZ, claretian missionary, fulfils his pastoral work in Cordoba’s community, Argentina. He has recently been ordained deacon; his words become an echo of this experience: ‘The “cloud of witnesses” that resounded through the litanies, is giving me the cue to channel what I aim to become my service amongst the People. Not in vain did I choose Msgr Romero, Alberto Hurtado or Charles de Foucauld for this cloud; I believe that on each name there is a story that inspires my pilgrimage...’

She had the look of who knows how to wait, without anxiety or nerves, with a great strength in faith, which made her stand on her feet among all the obstacles in life’. It is also a scrutinizing look. Mary ‘who had an open heart and always ready for the Lord, had also her eyes open to recognise and discover what the Lord asked from her in each moment of her life’. And, finally, it is a look filled with admiration: Mary ‘was a privilege witness, who followed step by step the human development of Jesus, collecting all his attitudes and words. The Gospel tells us that his father and his mother were amazed. (Luke 2,33)’

BACK COVER | REVIEW There are many moments where one may be in the middle of a terrible storm. Just like thousands of years ago the apostles felt abandoned by Jesus in the middle of the lake, we pray to the Lord to wake up because we feel he has forgotten us and has not seen our suffering. This rosary is to recover faith, find relief and trust that voice that is inside of us, saying at all times: Do not be afraid! Every mystery is organised according to the topic, with biblical texts suitable for each topic and with some reflections based on papal speeches, of recent Popes. In the final section, there are also a few useful prayers focusing on stormy times, and that tries to provide us with tools in prayers and in life of faith through petition, gratefulness, and the invoking for the strengthening in faith.

To be Christians is to be bearers of a treasure that is joyful to transmit. However, many times we feel the cracks in our jars of clay and we feel disheartened. We need encouragement. It is now that we are motivated to assume the missionary commitment and to live it with joy, profoundness and enjoyment. These meditations by Víctor Manuel Fernández have great value as they bring us closer to the heart of Aparecida’s message. In this renewed edition, these are completed by presenting, as well, the fundamental nucleus of Pope Francis’ teaching, so clearly expressed in Evangelii Gaudium.

BACK COVER | REVIEW This book presents the same history of our country but seen from the eyes of a man. Jorge Cassaretto shares his memories here, filled with emotions, by means of an autobiography. On his paragraphs, he weaves his life, form the beginning to the present. He narrates key moments in the history of Argentina and the Church, with its highs and lows. As a result, we have a wide perspective of the present time, as a consequence of the past and as a project to the future. ‘A preview of my thesis. In the last few years the Church has experienced its best historic moment in our country. I think that is one of the reason why, and not a minor reason, a Pope has emerged from it.’

The passion the author transmits through his narrative on Father Brochero, or Gaucho Priest - whichever way we would like to call him – is logical and expected. José Gabriel del Rosario Brochero cannot leave us indifferent. With his remarkable apostolic heart, he would travel for over 200 km, which required three days on the back of a mule, to collect up to five hundred people -sometimes even more- in a caravan, and to preach Spiritual Exercises. He would even travel in the middle of a snow storm. When he returned after nine days of silence, prayer and penitence, his parishioners would change their life styles, by following the gospel and looking for the economic development of the region. He knew how to preach Christ’s message by adopting the language of his people, to make it easier to comprehend to his listeners. He would celebrate the sacraments, always carrying what he needed to celebrate mass on the haunches of his mule. Thus, no sick person was ever denied form them. He would say: ‘The devil will never steal a soul from me’. He committed himself to everyone, especially to the poor and segregated who he constantly searched for to help them get closer to God.
MONSEÑOR SANTIAGO OLIVERA did his ecclesiastical studies at Saint Joseph Institute of Philosophy and Theology, in the diocesan seminar in Morón. He was ordained in the cathedral of Inmaculada Concepción del Buen Viaje (Immaculate Conception of Safe Journeys) on the 18th of September 1984. Pope Benedict XVI named him as the new Bishop in 2008, at 49 years of afe, and he is the third Bishop in Cruz del Eje (Córdoba, Argentina), Brochero’s land.

This book teaches the brave testimonial of these five priests who made Christ’s message flesh and blood. Francisco E. Chirichella, Vice Postulator in the Canon Cause, said about the author of the book: ‘He was really enthusiastic about the idea of reflecting and writing about “Alfie’s” life’. And as he points out in his testimonial letter, he did not get to know him personally, because they did not coincide in time, he knew him in the love. It is certainly impressive, for those who were lucky to know Alfie Kelly, the great capacity he has had to get under his skin and reconstruct from there - in the first person, which amazes us and moves us, - the loyalty achieved towards this Servant of God, and at the same time, it takes us to a profound reflection.
BACK COVER | REVIEW In Buenos Aires, 1976, there was a group of priest and seminarians from the Society of the Catholic Apostolate founded by Saint Vincent Pallotti. Moved by the vocation of service, they were always focusing on helping others, specially the poorer. It was a very difficult time in the country then, and their brave evangelizing work made them become the centre of false accusations. Finally, on the night of the 4th of July five of them were shot to death in the parish. Three days before, Alfredo (Alfie) Kelly, The parish priest in Saint Patrick’s Church, wrote on his personal diary a testimonial of his concerns and commitment. From those moving words, Sergio Lucero, re-lives in front of us what was happening in the hearts of our brothers who today are light for all Christians. From the hand of the author- on his works and words – we will see Christ’ message shine, showing what it means to follow Our Lord, even when it means to love to the extreme.
SERGIO LUCERO, theology and philosophy professor, catechist, teacher, radio broadcaster, Fernanda’s wife and father of four children, embraced from a young age the cause of the ‘Five’ and has never left it.

Claretiana is giving the reader this collection considering the Pope’s request: ‘At times we are called to gaze even more attentively on mercy so that we may become a more effective sign of the Father’s action in our lives. For this reason, I have proclaimed an Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy as a special time for the Church, a time when the witness of believers might grow stronger and more effective’ (Francis, Misericordiae Vultus).

This work of mercy is usually understood as to give some bread to who need it. However, it is a very superficial concept rather than what it really means. In these brief reflections, the Author invites us to look at it from a new point of view. Is there only one way for hunger? What does food mean for each person? Three is something that is above all, and is the giving act itself. It is the jo of giving oneself to others, as Jesus did, and the vocation that all humans have of recognising the need in others.

Solemos imaginar al desnudo como alguien que carece de suficiente ropa y, quizás, reparamos en el frío que siente o el mal estado de lo lleva puesto. Sin embargo, cuando se nos invita a vestir al que lo necesita, somos llamados a ir más allá de lo físico. Se trata de proteger la dignidad de nuestro prójimo, cubrir lo que no debe estar expuesto porque lo denigra, lo humilla o lo presenta como mero instrumento a los ojos de los demás. Con suma delicadeza, el Autor de estas páginas nos explica en qué consiste esta obra de misericordia. Haciendo un recorrido por las Sagradas Escrituras, nos demuestra que uno de los signos del cristiano es ser guardián del hermano.

DRESS HE WHO IS BARE
Vestir al desnudo
We always imagine the bare as someone who lacks sufficient clothing, maybe the coldness he feels or the worn state of what he is wearing. But when we are invited to dress the bare it is not something physical, it is beyond that. It is about protecting the dignity of our neighbours, to cover what should not be exposed. With the outmost care, the Author of these pages explains to us what this work of mercy is about. By covering the Holy Scriptures, he shows us that it is one of the signs of Christians, to be the guardian of the neighbours.
JOSÉ LUIS D’AMICO is a bachelor and professor in theology. He has been teaching the Holy Scriptures for many years and has written numerous books in which he manifests the depth of what God says to us through his Word.

REDEEMING THE CAPTIVE
Redimir a los cautivos
The development of this work –essential to acquire certain insight regarding the many ways of slavery we are su subjected to in the contemporary world –has its roots in the political, social and religious practices in Israel as per the Old Testament, in the theology of the New Testament and in the practise of Mercy in the Middle Ages, and in the first few centuries of modern world. It is sad to discover the universes of solitude, distress, hopelessness and auto-destruction which multiply and settle as new captivities, not only around our human universes of reference but also, a not too seldom, in them.

Like Philip the apostle did in the Acts of the Apostles, when he sat on the chariot of the Ethiopian and started teaching him, that is how each of us are also called to live this God’s work of mercy. We simply need to look around us to realise that everyone is ignorant or doesn’t have the knowledge in different circumstances and in different ways. They need us to be inspired by what we can bring to them, help people grow, sharing what has been given to us.

Suffering is a reality of the human being and it something we struggle to accept. Now, how does it connect with mercy? Learning to endure something with patience means that, being moved by compassion, I can forgive the other because he is not the way I wish him to be. It does not mean staying passive in front of a reality nor letting the other act as they desire. We will comprehend all the implicit shades when we embrace such especial form of self-control.

The N.G.O Stole Childhood (Infancia Robada) was born in the inland of Argentina, where abuse and violence of all sorts are less publicly known than in the bigger cities. From that place, Sr. Martha Pelloni decided to give an effective and organized answer to all the suffering cries of reality: boys, girls, adolescents and women, expropriated of their basic human rights. Together with a group of volunteers and professionals, this organization is proposing to stand from the victim’s place and, from there, accompany them in the process of regaining dignity and liberty.

You are important until the end Collection: BRIDGES In a brief document, the Hospice Movement has shown – in its first congress – everything related to palliative care, the work in each house and what the encounter with the patience, who is in their final moments before passing, is like.
BACK COVER | REVIEW A few years ago, from the hand of Cicely Saunders, a group called Hospice Movement started; it works in the palliative care area. What does this mean? It is the accompaniment of people in their last moments of life, giving them unconditional support and help them accept their reality with joy. These pages introduce the history, objectives and way of working employed by the Hospice, and it invites everyone who would like to become a drop of hope towards who feels weak and alone to participate. It is an introduction to the care and accompaniment to the ill who is in the last stages of their life. When we talk of the end of the life of a person, we are approaching it from five different aspects: • The Physical Biography: medicine announces its limits. The physical image produces pain in the patient. Specially in a society where the physical image of a person is highly valued. • The Affection Biography: When life is turning off, people start thinking about the relationships with others. Relationships among spouses, children and parents are meaningful. • The Cognitive Biography: think and consider my life • The Social Biography: the person may be a writer, a businessman, a nurse. They look back to see what they have done in life. Which memories this person will impart on others. • The Spiritual Biography: the values that marked the person’s life, their transcendent opening and the spiritual resources.
