Dès les premières pages, Benoît XVI présente Jésus comme un roi de la Paix, de la simplicité et des pauvres. Jésus n'est pas un révolutionnaire politique, il ne vient pas comme destructeur, il ne se fonde pas sur la violence, il ne déclenche pas d'insurrection militaire contre Rome; il vient avec le don de la guérison, il se consacre à ceux qui sont marginalisés. Son pouvoir est différent : c'est dans la pauvreté de Dieu, dans la Paix de Dieu que réside son seul pouvoir salvifique. Pour la première fois dans l'histoire, un pape en fonction publie un ouvrage à titre personnel.

Sa mère, Rose-Yvonne Lapointe, qui a une grande dévotion envers le frère André, demande son aide. Elle est exaucée.

Ce "livre vivant" est un des premiers de la Sainte. Il n'a pas reçu de titre comme tel, en effet, les bibliothécaires de l'Escorial lui en donnèrent un qui nous a été transmis jusqu'à ce jour. De toutes ses œuvres, "La Vida" est la plus longue et Sainte Thérèse se présente à nous comme écrivain. Il s'agit d'un écrit profond, saisissant, d'une révélation authentique de son âme, au point qu'elle-même l'appelle ainsi : mon âme ("Lettre à Luisa de la Cerda", 23 juin 1568, 3 ; V 16, 6 ; V épilogue, 4). Sainte Thérèse a fait dans ce livre un effort systématique - le premier dans l'histoire de la pensée et de la littérature - pour déverser en ces pages la totalité de sa personne, en sorte que les critiques littéraires le considèrent comme le livre le plus personnel de toute la littérature espagnole.

Scripture is filled with examples of men and women whom God used late in life, often with great impact—Noah, Abraham, Moses, Elizabeth, and Anna, to name a few. They were ordinary men and women who discovered that the latter years of life can be some of the most rewarding and fulfilling. “For them, growing older wasn’t something to be denied or dreaded;” says Billy Graham, “it was to be embraced as part of God’s plan for their lives.” Billy Graham’s life and ministry have been dedicated to the here and now but always with a happy-ever-after in view.

Raised as an atheist, Sara Miles lived an enthusiastically secular life as a restaurant cook and a writer. Then early one winter morning, for no earthly reason, she wandered into a church. "I was certainly not interested in becoming a Christian," she writes, "or, as I thought of it rather less politely, a religious nut." But she ate a piece of bread, took a sip of wine, and found herself radically transformed.

In her loving adoptive home, there was just one simple rule: never say "can't".

Everything Is Possible is her incredible story.

Perché percorre l'Italia, dalle grandi città alla campagna, e inventa il presepe.

Practically everyone in the western world has heard of the man called St. Patrick. But hardly anyone knows anything about him.
