ROBERT MALONEY, C.M.

Go!

On the Missionary Spirituality of St. Vincent de Paul

Salamanca, Editorial CEME, 2000, 219 pp.

Fifty years ago, this book of Father Maloney would have been called “On Being and Becoming a Missionary.” It is a tribute to Father Maloney's insight that a collection of varied articles on the missionary spirituality of St. Vincent de Paul should bear the title “Go!,” thus combining the command of Jesus with the urgency of missionary needs of the Church in the new millennium.

Depending on one's taste and orientation, one can savor the skillful interlacing of spirituality and literature, Papal documents and Vincentian ideals, the writings of the Church Fathers and the writings of modern theologians, history and the arts. All these show that spirituality is a many splendoured thing. And if one would like a taste of something new, one can read the original article “Models of `Being Holy.'” The Vincentian Family members and other searchers of missionary spirituality will do well to read these pages of inspiration.

GIUSTINO DE JACOBIS

Scritti: 1. Diario

Roma, CLV - Edizioni, 2000, 1079 pp.

Promoted by the Visitor of Naples and compiled by Fr. Vicenzo Lazzarini and Dr. Mario Guerra, the Diary of Justin de Jacobis is presented in this jubilee year , when we also remember the second centenary of his birth and the twenty-five years since his canonization. It is not exactly a critical edition in the strict sense, but rather a working document, organized scientifically, based on precise and identifiable criteria. The original documents are manuscript pages, gathered together in six volumes, which make up the different sections of the work. The Italian in them belongs to the Nineteenth Century and the expressions have been maintained intact to respect the style.

The diary form gives the narrative the vivacity and missionary inspiration that made Abuna Yaqob Miriam famous for his eloquence and undeniable capacity for fascinating his listeners. He offers us- at a time when the Church after the Second Vatican Council has opened itself to dialogue- a vision built on the complementary nature of cultures and religions, supported by a mutual interchange, the communion in the spiritual riches of the christian community, inculturation and the global mission. This is not only the testimony of a true forerunner of the new evangelization, but also the witness of a saint for our days, a christian for our times who, with the strength of love, disarms and conquers all.

COLLECTION

La Familia Vicenciana ante el Tercer Milenio. Caminos de futuro

Salamanca, CEME, 1999, 461 pp.

This book contains twelve conferences and seven workshops dealing with texts, which were presented to the Vincentian Family on the topic of the Twenty-Fourth Week of Vincentian Studies of Salamanca. Fundamental points like: the charism, vocation, mission, evangelization, service of the poor, new areopogi, prayer and community life, are examined in detail from the perspective of the new millennium. All of the presenters agree that we are entering a new era which requires fidelity, creativity and continual conversion.. If we look to the past, it is not to be anchored to it, but rather to throw ourselves into the future with a confident audacity.

Hombres y apóstoles en la costa norte hondureña

La Congregación de la Misión (PP. Paúles) de la Provincia de Barcelona en la Costa Norte de Honduras

Honduras, 1999, 362 pp.

This book, because of its many historical notes, might be taken as the first draft of what could be the history of the Congregation of the Mission in Central America. We find in this work a vision of the birth of the Christian faith on the Atlantic coast of Honduras and the development of religious life among its people. In reading this book one discovers the providential coincidence of three circumstances which united the Province of Barcelona with the Church of Honduras: 1) the great concern of the Holy See forthe evangelization of Central America, especially the area of Honduras; 2) the concern of Bishop Martínez y Cabañas for the department of the Caribbean because of its spiritual abandonment and lack of priests; 3) the precise moment lived by the Province of Barcelona, charged with a missionary impulse.
