The full collection of conference talks from Pope Francis's appointed retreat master, Timothy Radcliffe, heard first during the historic October 2023 General Assembly of the Synod on Synodality.

The Synod on Synodality held in Rome in October 2023, gathered Catholics from all over the world to listen, pray, and reflect on a new way of being church. Dominican priest Timothy Radcliffe, the official retreat master and spiritual advisor for this assembly, was appointed by Pope Francis to deliver a series of retreat talks and meditations to the delegates during the assembly of the Synod on Synodality. Those talks are offered here, as well as Radcliffe's further reflections on our current challenges and where we could be headed as a church. He then provides a specific Dominican experience as an example of synodality-in-action.

In Listening Together, Radcliffe's words not only set the spirit for the historic synod gathering, but now, in written form, they open the possibility for individuals or groups to read and continue to reflect on this synodal journey we all share. Listening Together serves as a powerful reminder of the themes of enduring relevance included in Radcliffe's retreat talks and synod meditations. In entertaining and engaging prose, Radcliffe's reflections encourage readers to think about conflicting hopes; different visions of the church as home; the need for unity; friendship; and above all, the importance of listening, discernment, and mission as a means for this synodal journey to continue to succeed. In these pages, Radcliffe offers a spirituality of listening that can take us forward together on a journey of discovery and communion.

Diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, theologian Dr. Richard R. Gaillardetz started sharing his thoughts and reflections on CaringBridge and signed off each entry with the Latin phrase dum spiro, spero (While I breathe, I hope). In his chronologically compiled essays, Rick moves through his final season of life seeking insight from his Christian faith, while discovering new meaning in the signs and symbols that mark familiar liturgical seasons and celebrations. He explores fears and doubts, joys and sufferings, and the graces and blessings he encounters along his final journey. With shots of humor, a few sports analogies, and a sprinkling of quotes from Karl Rahner, Rick offers wisdom for all in his poignant exploration of what it means to be a person of faith, entering the paschal mystery, ever hopeful for the life to come.

Jerusalem Bible--Study Bible
New Edition
Totally Revised
Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem

Introducing the fifth edition of the new Spanish edition of the Jerusalem Bible. It has remained faithful to the traditional allegiance to the original texts of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, and the transmission of introductions and notes of the French version.

Features of this fifth edition include:

- This new edition includes 30% more footnotes than the previous edition.

- The same team of specialists has edited this fifth edition, maintaining the core values of their translations of the original languages: unity within the various biblical books of the Old and New Testament, reflection of the rhythm of the lyrical poetry in the Hebrew verses and special attention to parallels, especially those found in the Synoptic Gospels.

- We reviewed all the books of the Old and New Testaments on behalf of the general coordinator Victor Morla: with translation of the Hebrew clich s to accommodate the Spanish language, improving the harmonization of the texts and refined style.

- Joaqu n Gonz lez Echegaray has updated the historical, geographical and archeological notes and has also introduced some new ones.

- We have incorporated the translation of some changes made to the notes of the last French edition of the Jerusalem Bible: some have been removed as obsolete, while others have incorporated a cultural, historical and geographical character.

This new edition benefits from the studies and research of Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem and the exegetes who form the new team of translators of the Jerusalem Bible in Spanish, staying true to the principles of previous editions while representing a complete updating of biblical scholarship in recent years.

In his classic Second Book of Dialogues, Pope Gregory the Great lionizes Saint Benedict as hero and casts him predominantly in the role of miracle worker. Yet in his Rule, Benedict comes across more as a practical community organizer and premier spiritual father. In this volume, Terrence Kardong offers a fresh take on Gregory the Great's classic. He alternates between translated sections of the Diablo's and his own commentary. Crisp and direct, and infused with his wry and ever-present sense of humor, Kardong's writings sure to build up the spiritual life of readers and, equally important, to make them love St. Benedict.

The story of religious life over the centuries displays two enduring qualities: constancy and change. God's love is constant, as is the changing state of the human condition lived on earth, our common home. Each generation of religious is faced with reading the signs of the times to faithfully navigate the intersection of constancy and change. But what are we to do in this time of renewal? In Reseeding Religious Life through Global Sisterhood, sisters from around the world reflect on a synodal vision and engage in a contemplative dialogue on the emerging future of religious life.

In this hopeful volume, sisters share perspectives on their rich heritage while continuing to till the soil of religious life with their encounters, transforming and deepening their charismatic identity with each conversation. Through this process, readers may come to understand how tending to the wounds of the poor and the planet becomes an awakening to embracing the intersection of the ecologies; social, economic, environmental, political, cultural, and spiritual. Reseeding Religious Life through the Global Sisterhood challenges all who dwell in faithfulness to God to a charismatic synodality: one that reveals the unfolding narrative of all our interconnections, calls us to nurture the conversations that will energize our distinct charisms, and inspires the flourishing of an emerging global sisterhood.

How can the church continue to grow in a more synodal--more participative, open-minded, inclusive, and spiritual--ecclesial style? Now that the Synod on Synodality (2021-2024) has ended, Kristin Colberg and Jos Moons begin to answer this key question in essential ways. In The Future of Synodality, they present key aspects of synodality's origins, its theological foundations, and its recent expressions. They offer important takeaways from the synod in the context of looking toward the future, exploring the concrete transformations of a church marked by inclusive listening.

Embracing the style of synodality as the church's usual practice, the authors outline the three types of transformation required: a renewal of attitudes and behavior, a reform of ecclesial structures and procedures, and the adoption of synodal practices. The Synod on Synodality has changed the church. This book helps us understand this historic moment and learn how to walk on the synodal path toward a new beginning.
