Dovoľ Božiemu milosrdenstvu pôsobiť v tebe


Dovoľ Božiemu milosrdenstvu pôsobiť v tebe – táto parafráza slov Ježiša sv. sestre Faustíne a cez ňu aj každému z nás je titulom tretej formačnej knihy. Publikácia v slovenčine je určená nielen členom a dobrovoľníkom združenia Faustínum, ale aj všetkým ctiteľom Milosrdného Ježiša. „Dovoľ, aby moje milosrdenstvo pôsobilo v tebe, v tvojej úbohej duši“ (Den. 1486) – tieto slová dnes Ježiš adresuje každému z nás, pretože aj nás chce viesť ako svoju milovanú dcéru po cestách dôvery a milosrdenstva, kým sa mu úplne nepripodobníme. Ak cítite, že je to vaša cesta, ak vás priťahuje a fascinuje tajomstvo Božieho milosrdenstva, alebo ak ho jednoducho chcete spoznať, pozývam vás kráčať spolu s apoštolkou Božieho milosrdenstva.

Maximilián Mária Kolbe - Rytier nepoškvrnenej


Čo chce odo mňa táto poľská sviňa? - zaznelo z úst SS-Hauptsturmführera Fritzscha v koncentračnom tábore Osvienčim, keď páter Maximilián Mária Kolbe OFMConv vykročil z radu a ponúkol svoj život namiesto spoluväzňa. Ani nenávisť, ani pohŕdanie nemohlo uhasiť lásku, ktorú v sebe nosil tento „rytier Nepoškvrnenej“. Hrdinské obetovanie života bolo prirodzeným vyvrcholením jeho celoživotného úsilia pripodobniť sa Kristovi, Panne Márii a svätému Františkovi, ktorým zveril svoj život i kňazské povolanie. Keď sa začítame do života svätého rehoľníka, pochopíme, čo ho motivovalo kráčať až na vrchol lásky, ktorá kladie život za priateľov.

Making All the World America


A provocative new account of the ideological framework undergirding early modern imperial expansion: the Doctrine of DiscoveryMaking All the World America offers a new account of the ideological framework undergirding early modern imperial expansion: the Doctrine of Discovery, which held that the first arrival of a European power among the lands and peoples of the Western Hemisphere granted the right to govern the regions that they claimed to have "discovered."While scholars have maintained that the doctrine operated through the suppression of Indigenous peoples, Timothy Bowers Vasko contends that, on the contrary, the doctrine's ideological work actually depended on the recognition of Indigenous rights and sovereignty. Between 1492 and 1690, the Spanish and English architects of the doctrine sought to justify European-Christian empire through the incorporation of Indigenous peoples into colonial frameworks as religious, political, property-owning subjects. Examining the works of Peter Martyr, Thomas More, Bartolomé de Las Casas, Richard Hakluyt, and John Locke, among others, Vasko shows how these theorists leveraged and referenced knowledge of Indigenous societies and religious traditions in the Americas as a way of legitimizing imperial claims to the Americas. The doctrine's reliance on this production of Native information enabled the emergence of a new class of Indigenous intellectuals such as Garcilaso de la Vega and Don Fernando de Alva Ixtlilxochitl, who provided essential ethnographic material and exercised considerable influence on Western thought—especially the political theory of John Locke—in surprising and overlooked ways. Providing a provocative explanation of impasses and frustrations within struggles for Indigenous rights and the critique of imperialism more broadly, Making All the World America shows how "the native" was not eliminated but rather produced by colonial power.

Who Cares About Wales?


In-depth yet accessible review of how Wales is funded and run, from the most respected political journalist in Wales – winner of many awards for investigative journalism both in Wales and the wider UK. 2% of Wales’ railways are electrified vs. 25% in Scotland and 41% in England. Wales has the highest rates of child poverty in the UK, and the UK's highest rates of long-term limiting illness. Devolution has left Wales 'no longer Westminster’s problem', but successive Labour Welsh Governments – in power for 25 years – have had neither the tools nor the talent to properly tackle the huge issues Wales faces. Who Cares About Wales? shows how the current setup leaves Wales condemned in perpetuity to the lowest standards of living in Britain, a third-class nation within the UK, and calls on its people to demand better.

Ancient Wisdoms for Modern Crises


We live in a time of abundance and comfort for some, scarcity and hardship for others—a period that seems to have all of us teetering on the brink. Certainly, there is no lack of modern crises, but do we possess the wisdom to overcome them, and where might we seek that wisdom? Ancient Wisdoms for Modern Crises: Learning From Laozi's "Daodejing" looks to the Daodejing, a text written during the late Zhou Dynasty (600–400 BCE), for guidance. One of the core treatises of Eastern philosophy, it advocates humility, simplicity, and sustainable living. As both a personal and political philosophy, it is radically gentle, encouraging readers to embrace humility, modesty, compassion, and selflessness while simultaneously resisting the urge to conquer, control, and dominate—teachings that can help each of us navigate contemporary life. Finding solutions to such difficult problems requires all the wisdom, ancient and modern, that humans can muster. Replete with the author's fresh translation of the eighty-one-verse Daodejing, this book touches on topics ranging from environmentalism and human suffering to biodiversity loss and the rise of authoritarianism in an effort to forge a more restrained, sustainable, just, supportive, and compassionate society.

Osamělí hrdinové


Všichni jsme výjimeční. Když najdeme své autentické já, konečně budeme šťastní. Úspěch a životní spokojenost si musíme zařídit sami, nikdo to za nás neudělá. Máme právo žít si život po svém. Kolikrát jsme už takové poučky slyšeli a denně slýcháme… Jsou to všechno dobře znějící rady, ale jako spousta dobrých rad i ony mají svůj háček: nakonec budeme na všechno sami. Pavel Pospěch se v knize Osamělí hrdinové věnuje stále významnějšímu fenoménu individualismu a hledá jeho společenské kořeny a dopady na náš každodenní život. Vysvětlení, která nabízí, nejsou generační, psychologická ani technologická, nýbrž sociologická. Za nárůst posedlosti sebou samými nemohou ani zhýčkané mladé generace, ani všudypřítomné sociální platformy. Individualismus je produktem specifické kultury, v níž jsme vychováváni od dětství a vězíme v ní hlouběji, než bychom si mysleli. Kultura individualismu z nás dělá osamělé hrdiny vlastních životů a stále více nám znemožňuje žít smysluplný život s lidmi okolo nás.

Císař Karel IV. - Postrach světa


V nejnovější biografii českého krále a římsko-německého císaře Karla IV. autor pojímá 14. století jako dramatické období, plné politických a hospodářských krizí, kulturního neklidu a hledání nového funkčního způsobu správy římsko-německé říše v severní Itálii, jižní Francii a v Německu, jenž vyvrcholil přijetím Zlaté buly v roce 1356. Kniha je založena na důkladné znalosti a mistrné interpretaci vyprávěcích a diplomatických pramenů, stejně jako na kritickém přístupu k dosavadnímu, téměř nepřebernému historickému bádání. Rader nahlíží osobu Karla IV. komplexním způsobem, přičemž důraz klade jak na jeho říšskou vládu, tak na její propojení se strukturálně zcela odlišným panováním v českém království. Mnohem více než dřívější bádání klade důraz na skutečnost, že Karel začal programově budovat novou říšskou rezidenci v Praze a s Prahou spojoval budoucnost římsko-německé říše. Stejně tak si všímá císařovy podpory a mecenátu umění a vzdělání. Zároveň však nijak nezamlčuje ani temné stránky Karlova politického života, jeho čirý pragmatismus, podíl na pronásledování kacířů a vypočítavý přístup k židovskému obyvatelstvu v mnoha německých městech.

The Age of Diagnosis


From autism to allergies, ADHD to long Covid, more people are being labelled with medical conditions than ever before. But can a diagnosis do us more harm than good? The boundaries between sickness and health are being redrawn. Mental health categories are shifting and expanding all the time, radically altering what we consider to be 'normal'. Genetic tests can now detect pathologies decades before people experience symptoms, and sometimes before they're even born. And increased health screening draws more and more people into believing they are unwell. An accurate diagnosis can bring greater understanding and of course improved treatment. But many diagnoses aren't as definitive as we think. And in some cases they risk turning healthy people into patients. Drawing on the stories of real people, as well as decades of clinical practice and the latest medical research, Dr. Suzanne O'Sullivan overturns long held assumptions and reframes how we think about illness and health.

State Matters


Why does the state matter to its people? How do people know and experience the state? And how did the state come to be both desired and dreaded by its subjects? This study offers a historically grounded social theoretical account of state consolidation in Iraq, from the foundation of the country as a League of Nations British Mandate in 1921 through to the post-2003 era. Through analysis of key historical episodes of state consolidation (and fragmentation) during the past century, Nida Alahmad argues that consolidation rests on two sequential and interdependent factors. First, domination: the state's capacity to dominate land and population. Second, legitimation: whereby the state is accepted and expected by the population to be the final arbitrator of collective life based on common principles. Moving between intellectual traditions and disciplines, Alahmad demonstrates that a theorization of state consolidation is a theorization of the modern state.

Jolted


Most of us are just one event away from leaving our job. Conventional wisdom and lists of the “top reasons people quit their jobs” would have us believe that people quit when the toxic elements of their jobs grow too big or when they spot a better professional opportunity. But that’s only half the story. In reality, quitting is often triggered by a single event, inside or outside our jobs, that stops us in our tracks and causes us to rethink our relationship with work. These events are what organizational psychologist Anthony Klotz calls “jolts,” and they are the most underacknowledged realities in our work lives today. Jolts represent pivotal moments in our careers, and yet all too often, we respond to them in ways that harm our well-being and success. In Jolted, Klotz breaks down the different types of jolts we encounter and provides a road map to help us navigate them in ways that improve, rather than derail, our pursuit of the good life through our work.
