Estas profundas y conmovedoras páginas nos muestran a María, la Madre de Jesús, a traves de la palabra, el relato y la tradición, como modelo e inspiración para nuestro tiempo y para todos los tiempos. En el estilo tan personal a que nos tiene acostumbrados Megan McKenna, vemos a Maria como nunca la habiamos visto antes, a traves de las Escrituras y a traves de las meditaciones sobre su vida y su significado para los cristianos de hoy. Las reflexiones de McKenna sobre Maria comienzan con la historia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, cuya aparicion a Juan Diego nos hace recordar la obra de Juan el Bautista preparando el camino del Señor. Utilizando lecturas del leccionario, McKenna nos lleva de la mano con Maria "desde la cocina a la Cruz": desde la Anunciacion a su visita a Isabel: desde el Nacimiento a la huida a Egipto: desde la Presentacion en el Templo a las bodas de Cana... y, finalmente, al Calvario. Como en todas sus obras, tambien en Maria, reflexiona Megan McKenna sobre iconos e imagenes de todo el mundo y revela sus especiales dotes de narradora de historias, elaborando, gracias a sus inolvidables imagenes de la palabra, un clasico espiritual para nuestro tiempo.

One of todays most popular and respected Catholic writers presents the first guide to the new Stations of the Cross, reflecting the revisions made by Pope John Paul II.A traditional devotion for Catholics for more than four hundred years, the Stations of the Cross commemorates the route Jesus traveled from being sentenced to death, crucified, and then buried in a borrowed tomb on the outskirts of Jerusalem. In the past, the devotion included a number of stations based on popular stories of piety and devotion, but not mentioned in the Gospels. Over the past eight years, however, Pope John Paul II has made substantial changes to the devotion in his Good Friday celebrations of the stations, removing those not found in the Bible and replacing them with stations that more accurately follow scriptural accounts of Christs passion. The revised Stations of the Cross focuses on the condemned Jesus and on the community walking the way with him to the cross. Unrelieved by stories like Veronicas wiping blood off the face of Jesus and his meeting with his mother; this is a story of an execution. The new stations deal directly with the pain, suffering, betrayal, and injustice to which Jesus was subjected. In explaining his reasons for revising the stations, the Pope has said that the alterations are intended to serve as a model for other devotions and to encourage the return to the Scriptures as the source of and inspiration for contemporary worship. In this helpful, authoritative guide, Megan McKenna presents the fourteen new stations with the scriptural passages that Pope John Paul II uses on Good Friday. She also provides a basic introduction to the practices and reflections on the importance of the devotion for present-day Catholics and Episcopalians.

Internationally acclaimed author Megan McKenna gives this Catholic tradition enriched modern relevance in a completely up-to-date guide to praying the Rosary, designed for general readers and incorporating the recent additions made by Pope John Paul II.As a speaker, teacher, and bestselling Catholic author, Megan McKenna has informed and inspired audiences both in- and outside of the Catholic tradition with her warmhearted, contemporary approach to spirituality. Now she turns her attention to the Rosary, revealing the universality of this ancient practice and how it can enrich lives today.Praying the Rosarythe act of counting off prayers with a string of beads in a rhythm of focused spiritual contemplationis a practice that has existed for centuries and is common to many faiths. For the worlds one billion Catholics it has become the most popular form of devotion. Though strongly associated with the Virgin Mary, the prayers of the Rosary are ultimately meant to bring those who say them closer to Jesus Christ, whose life and teachings are central to all branches of the Christian faith. This gives the Rosary an ecumenical dimension that is in sync with todays emphasis on the common bonds, rather than the divisions, among all Christians. In 2002, Pope John Paul II updated the Rosary by adding a new section on the teachings of Jesus, further emphasizing the centrality of Christ and the biblical Gospels at the heart of the prayers.Embracing this ecumenical attitude in Praying the Rosary, Megan McKenna explores the Rosary and explains how to pray it, incorporating the Popes recent additions and revealing its relevance to a new generation. She breaks down the Rosary into its twenty components, prefacing each with a selection from Scripture that identifies the prayers source in the Bible. Combining practical instruction with meditative reflections on the prayers spirituality, she reveals the Rosarys richly contemplative nature and shows how praying the Rosary can inspire peaceful, calm attitudes, and an awareness of the universal spiritual mystery that connects all Christians.

Renowned Catholic author Megan McKenna celebrates her 50th book with a controversial interpretation of the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John and what they mean for the Church and society today.In many ways, modern audiences have become so familiar with the gospels that weve stopped listening and integreting their wisdom into our everyday lives. Acclaimed author Megan McKenna explores the messages of the four gospels in the context of daily life when they were originally written and interprets their meaning for our modern world. While some argue for the development of new gospels for the 21st century, McKenna argues that we havent paid due attention to the ones we already have; in many cases, weve ignored sections of these teachings entirely and twisted their meaning to suit our own agendas. McKenna breaks it down, gospel by gospel, and shows us how the lessons of Jesuss apostles continue to resonate.
