I Bend Down for Pennies and I Bend Down to Pray in a Broken Church by Rev. Anthony C. Catalano Pdf
I am a second generation, oldest son of an immigrant Sicilian family. I became a Roman Catholic priest. I left the priesthood and married. I raised a family and now I have returned to the priesthood again with the Independent Catholic Movement. When I wrote this book, I wanted to be honest. I sought neither to enhance my self-portrayal nor diminish it. For me that meant I had to reveal how I honestly thought, felt, and acted at specific times in my life. I had no idea how much appreciation and pain I would experience from reviewing my life like this. It was not easy.

Particular Friendships: A Convent Memoir by Kathleen J. Waites Pdf
Particular Friendships: A Convent Memoir offers a rare glimpse inside the walls of a Roman Catholic convent in the late 1960s. The young narrator arrives with gentle visions spawned by The Sound of Music, only to encounter the harshness of life in this secretive society. Her wit, compassion, and musicality foment a rebellion against rules forbidding expressions of joy and intimacy, as she struggles between allegiance to the heart and her vow of blind obedience to flawed and abusive superiors. Recently filed lawsuits against the Church suggest that the timing could not be better for an ex-nun's memoir. Part mystery, part coming of age story, this narrative seeks neither to damn nor to exonerate but to uncover the truth.
He explores his doubts and experiences with the Catholic Church and his struggles to be himself yet still honor his twelve years of preparation for the priesthood. After serving two years as a priest, he decides to leave the Church and examine other religions. Amongst his spiritual discussions, Josaitis reflects on the Church's stance on issues including sex, women, and the rules of the priesthood. 'Marvin Josaitis shares his life and story of following the truth and finding that, indeed, 'the truth will make you free.' His moving story and its incredible events make a powerful call to the whole Church to begin that journey back to the radical truth of Jesus once more.' —Thomas J. Gumbleton, retired Auxiliary Bishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit
In this uplifting and empowering call to action, Karol Jackowski, a nun for more than forty years, speaks out about her life and vocation, women in the Church, the sexual scandal in the priesthood and why the Catholic hierarchy won’t fix it, and how Catholics will take back their Church.
To Quell the Terror: The Mystery of the Vocation of the Sixteen Carmelites of Compiègne Guillotined July 17, 1794 by William Bush Pdf
This book recounts the dramatic true story of the Discalced Carmelite nuns of Compiègne, martyred during the French Revolution's "Great Terror," and known to the world through their fictional representation in Gertrud von Le Fort's Song at the Scaffold and Francis Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites. At the height of the French Revolution's "Great Terror," a community of sixteen Carmelite nuns from Compiègne offered their lives to restore peace to the church and to France. Ten days after their deaths by the guillotine, Robespierre fell, and with his execution on the same scaffold the Reign of Terror effectively ended. Had God thus accepted and used the Carmelites' generous self-gift? Through Gertrud von Le Fort's modern novella, Song at the Scaffold, and Francis Poulenc's famed opera, Dialogues of the Carmelites, (with its libretto by Georges Bernanos), modern audiences around the world have become captivated by the mysterious destiny of these Compiègne martyrs, Blessed Teresa of St. Augustine and her companions. Now, for the first time in English, William Bush explores at length the facts behind the fictional representations, and reflects on their spiritual significance. Based on years of research, this book recounts in lively detail virtually all that is known of the life and background of each of the martyrs, as well as the troubled times in which they lived. The Compiègne Carmelites, sustained by their remarkable prioress, emerge as distinct individuals, struggling as Christians to understand and respond to an awesome calling, relying not on their own strength but on the mercy of God and the guiding hand of Providence. The book includes an index and 15 photos.

A woman who remembers nothing—except the distant past. Visiting Sarah Tolley seemed a small enough sacrifice to make. But Laura's promise results in another death. Her husband's. And after their five-year-old daughter, Emma, witnesses her father's suicide, Emma refuses to talk about it—to talk at all. Frantic and guilt ridden, Laura contacts the only person who may be able to help. A man she's met only once—six years before. A man who doesn't know he's Emma's real father. Guided only by a child's silence and an old woman's fading memories, the two unravel a tale of love and despair, of bravery and unspeakable evil. A tale that's shrouded in silence…and that unbelievably links them all.
