The New Works of the Gospel
Newman teaches us how to have deep conversations with others.
Newman teaches us how to have deep conversations with others.
Salvation is not a prize for effort or a free pass to live as we will; it is a Person with Whom we relate. Salvation is not a grade, a review or a paycheck. Because it is a relationship with God, it must be fostered with the love that every relationship on earth also requires – attention, time, effort.
We grow in sympathy for one another when we see each other as brothers and sisters.
We need supernatural vision if we want the peace of God that passes all understanding.
In praying for God’s kingdom to come, we face our fear of judgment and anticipate the mercy God gives so abundantly.
From the disciples’ experience of Pentecost we can learn to “profit by what every day and hour teaches us, as it flies.”
The flame of love that Christians possess comes from the Holy Spirit who was sent into the world after the Ascension of our Lord.
According to Newman, Love … is the seed of holiness, and grows into all excellences, not indeed destroying their peculiarities, but making them what they are.
St. John Henry Newman taught that faith is an act of reason enlightened by grace, and invited people to pray for those who do not believe in Christ.
A Guide to John Henry Newman will interest educated readers and professors alike, and serve as a text for college seminars for the purpose of studying Newman.

What is a Classical Liberal Arts Education? Why is it so important for the development of a person?
Fr. Juan R. Vélez answers these and more questions you might have about University Education in the 21st century. This book is aimed for parents, prospective University students, and educators. It will help you discern why adding Liberal Arts electives to your education will help it form it better, and help the student learn to reason, and not just learn.
He also explains how many Universities have changed the true meaning of Liberal Arts, and the subjects, and gives advise on how to choose College Campus, Subjects, and Teachers.
A wonderful book that every parent should also read way before your children are College bound. A Liberal Arts education can start earlier in life, even from home.
In God’s Church there is more than meets the eye. God raises saints to teach, correct and guide, and through whom He also works miracles.
"A Guide to John Henry Newman" - a scholarly, accessible and interesting volume of essays
"God has created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me..."
Disunity, heresy, and schism are departures from, not privileges of, the Holy Spirit’s benignant flood over the whole world.
St. John Henry Newman explains how to live the paradox of Christian celebration - feasting with fear.
Science and Revelation agree in supposing that nature is governed by uniform and settled laws.
It is hard to think of Fr. José without also remembering his penetrating look, gentle smile, and love for the Church.
Mary models the perfect disciple who, simply, never stops following her Lord.
People in the world, even the well meaning, see the world and believe that this world they see and live in is all there is.
