Ignatius Loyola Christian Mystic Brian O’Leary SJ
9781788126489
Paperback
120pp
210 x 140mm
€14.95
£12.95
Interest in mysticism is increasing at a time when commitment to religious institutions is in decline. Mysticism, rightly or wrongly and in the eyes of many, evokes the free workings of the Spirit, while churches as institutions evoke rigidity and control. And reading the mystics, it is being discovered, benefits everyone, whether Church member or agnostic.
Today, Ignatius is recognised as a major mystic in the western Christian tradition and his other qualities and achievements are seen in a new light – as flowing from the deep inner fountain that is his mystical relationship with God.
Drawing on his own familiarity with the sources, O’Leary gives a clear and accessible account of what we now know about Ignatius as a mystic, offering a truly transforming reading experience.
Brian O’Leary SJ has worked in the field of Ignatian spirituality for almost 50 years. He has taught at both the Centre of Ignatian Spirituality in Dublin and the Milltown Institute of Philosophy and Theology. He also served for six years as the Jesuit Province’s Coordinator of Ecumenism.

Journeying to the Light
Daily Readings through Advent and Christmas
John Mann
by Bishop Brendan Leahy
Foreword
9781788126465
Paperback
96pp
210 x 140mm
€12.95
£11.95
These daily reflections may be of use to all individuals who are seeking to establish a regular period of contemplation and space through Advent and Christmas, traditionally full of distraction and busyness. A Church-goer, a seeker after truth or, quite possibly in these tumultuous days, a Christian soul whose path has become darkened or distracted will find something in these pages to encourage them to set their eyes towards the light and their heart to the divine.
Based on the readings of each day from Advent Sunday to the Epiphany, Journeying to the Light has at its heart the Incarnation, with the author weaving contemporary trends with biblical themes and with events of his own life.
The book is ecumenical in its reach, as many of the readings coincide with those appointed for both the daily Mass in Roman Catholic Churches and in Anglican Churches.
John Mann is an Anglican priest and former dean of St Anne’s Cathedral, Belfast. He was awarded the Lambeth Cross for Ecumenism by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 2018 and holds an honorary D.Litt from Ulster University. He is now retired from his subsequent tenure in Swanage in the diocese of Salisbury and lives with his wife on the Isle of Man.

The Deep End A Journey with the Sunday Gospels in the Year of Mark

Following on from the first two books in this series which explored Luke and Matthew, The Deep End invites readers to come on a reflective journey through the Sunday Gospels of Year B, the Gospel of Mark.
Mark’s is a gospel that emphasises the journey of discipleship. True discipleship in Mark is a gradual unfolding of awareness and understanding, as exemplified in the two great healings of blindness; everything that Jesus says and does is aimed at correcting partial sight and encouraging or restoring full sight. Readers will come to see that just as there is hope for the imperfect disciples, there is hope for everyone.
The book includes tips for prayer and meditation offering a nourishing spirituality grounded in the Word of God.
Jane Mellett is the Laudato Si’ officer for Trócaire. Prior to this she worked in pastoral ministry for many years. Tríona Doherty is a former editor of Reality magazine and as a journalist and writer has worked with Redemptorist Communications, CatholicIreland.net and the Carmelite Institute of Britain and Ireland.

£18.95
These short reflections on the gospel readings for the weekdays of the liturgical year 2023/24, attempt to listen to the readings on their own terms while showing how they can continue to speak to our lives today.
They may also be of service to priests who seek to offer a short reflection on the gospel reading of the day in the context of the Eucharist. Where there is a weekday Liturgy of the Word, with or without Holy Communion, they can be read as a reflection on the readings. To read and reflect upon the gospels for the weekdays of the liturgical year is to go on a spiritual journey with the universal church. Those who travel this journey will discover that the Lord is very near to them in and through his word.
Martin Hogan is a priest of the Diocese of Dublin. He was a Scripture lecturer in Mater Dei Institute of Education for over thirty years. This is his eighth publication of reflections on the weekday readings.
‘following the readings opens up many new areas of thoughts and beliefs...readers will be encouraged to find out how they can impinge on their own lives and circumstances.’
