Bioethics and palliative care Jacinto Bátiz
The reductionist methods of science are not able to fully understand sick people. The patient has a name, a history, customs, an environment... that go far beyond symptoms and a diagnosis. During the accompaniment of a terminally ill person, various ethical conflicts may arise. That is why ethics and clinical work must go hand in hand. This book aims to raise awareness about palliative care, the way they must be offered, from the perspective of the bioethics, to people who need them to palliate their suffering.

Ecumenism today
Brief introduction to Christian unity
Pablo Blanco Sarto
25 years after the ecumenical encyclicals of Pope John Paul II and almost on the verge of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Vatican II decree on ecumenism, this book makes an evaluation of everything that Churches and Christian Communities have done to strengthen the communion in collaboration and social cooperation, theological dialogue, prayer and conversion, which are the true engines of the ecumenical dialogue. The book is divided into three parts: the relationship of the Catholic Church with the Eastern and Orthodox Churches; the relationship with the Churches of the Protestant Reformation, and an analysis of the pontificates of John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Pope Francis.

THE GESTURES OF THE POPE
Be authentic!
Keys of Pope Francis for communication
Ary Waldir Ramos Díaz
Who doesn’t remember the image of Francis washing the feet of prisoners on Holy Thursday, or kneeling before the leaders of South Sudan begging them to work towards peace in their country? All his gestures speak to us of tenderness, mercy, service, listening and hope: we’ve seen him caressing the elderly and the victims of trafficking, we’ve seen him having his picture taken with the people who are waiting for his arrival, in a small car… They are the gestures of a pastor who knows that communication must reach the minds and the hearts of people. What lesson can be drawn from the way Francis communicates, from his exercise of interpersonal relationships? The book Be authentic!, by the Vatican expert Ary Waldir Ramos, tries to answer these and other questions from the coherence, authenticity and depth that underlie the discourse and example of Pope Francis as a communicator.

Xabier Pikaza
Gabriel Mª Otalora reviews the theological keys of the crucifixion of Jesus and the several interpretations that have been made about it, in order to offer readers spiritual keys to illuminate our lives and regain hope by following Jesus’ footsteps. His gaze is directed to the cross, but it doesn’t remain in the pain or in the suffering: his reflections are oriented towards love, towards the Good News, towards resurrection and life. Because “the cross is not the ground or the end of the Christian path, it’s only the unavoidable part of our life journey. And it has a bright and luminous side”.

ETTY HILLESUM`S THOUGHTS
In the company of Etty Hillesum
Jonah behind the fence
Isabel Martínez Moreno (ed.)
This book gathers the essential thought of Etty Hillesum. We know her through her Letters and Diaries. Etty Hillesum died on November 30, 1943, at the age of 29, in the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz. But, before the Nazi horror, she articulates a new thought and spirituality, on the conviction that it is we who must help God. Her particular awareness of her love, her lack of resentment, her pain and, ultimately, her death, go beyond that historical moment, go beyond her Jewish religion and offer a new future for all of us. 168 pages / € 9,95

DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL
Along the paths of the night Following Saint John of the Cross Manuel García Hernández
The search for meaning leaves behind a life stage lacking in possibilities and heads towards another stage of fullness. Along this dark path, releasing the old and opening up to the new that will soon arrive, the traveler realizes some certainties are falling down, but he also discovers new treasures. Saint John of the Cross lived this psycho-spiritual process –he went through the darkness but also through the happiness–, which is reflected on his emblematic symbol: the dark night of the soul. In the texts written by the Carmelite Saint we catch a glimpse of his particular and rich experience, his searching for the unity with God. We also perceive his artist sensibility, which allows him to see the beauty in everything that is real. These pages aim to approach the night of the soul so they can enlighten the spiritual crisis of today’s world.

SAINT JOHN OF GOD
And God became brother
The life of Saint John of God

Juan Ciudad was a man of deep and authentic religiosity, whose main feature was his concern and continuous search for the will of God. He was a pastor, but he enlisted in the army and was a street vendor of religious books and prints, until eventually, taken for a madman, he ended up in a hospital, when he suffered humiliation and was mistreated. But there he discovered his vocation and began to build his dream: a hospital in which the poor and sick were cared for with dignity and with the respect due to the children of God. His deep love for his needy brother, his generosity, his piety and his complete trust in God, spread the fame of the blessed John of God.
