El libro perfecto de plegarias para las madres ocupadas de hoy. Como mujeres podemos sentirnos exitosas en muchas áreas profesionales o domésticas. Sin embargo, cualquier mujer que sea madre, y que sea honesta consigo misma, llegará a la misma conclusión: Si bien podemos acumular logros y trofeos, diplomas y menciones honoríficas en diversas áreas, en el arte de la maternidad solemos enfrentar constantes fracasos y resbalones. Siempre hay algo más que podemos hacer; de hecho, también en muchas ocasiones nos arrepentimos de cosas que decimos o no expresamos. Toda madre necesita ayuda: Ayuda de su pareja, de sus padres, de su círculo de amigos. Pero en el arte de criar a un ser humano, se requiere ayuda sobrenatural. Necesitamos a Dios. Acudir a Dios en oración es lo más sabio que toda madre puede hacer. Por eso, te invitamos a orar junto con nosotros durante ciento ochenta días, en un ejercicio de humildad y dependencia, de alabanza y adoración, de búsqueda y encuentro. Doblemos las rodillas, inclinemos la cabeza, alcemos las manos, dejemos que las lágrimas corran o la risa refresque: Dios oye la oración de una mamá que quiere hacer su voluntad. Con esa promesa en mente, pidamos a Él la ayuda que tanto necesitamos.

2017 marked the 250-year anniversary of the expulsion of the Jesuits from Spanish territories. The Jesuits made major contributions to the cultural and intellectual life of Latin America. When they were expelled in 1767 the Jesuits were administering over 250,000 Indians in over 200 missions. The Jesuits pioneered interest in indigenous languages and cultures, compiling dictionaries and writing some of the earliest ethnographies of the region. They also explored the region's natural history and made significant contributions to the development of science and medicine. On their estates and in the missions they introduced new plants, livestock, and agricultural techniques, such as irrigation. In addition, they left a lasting legacy on the region's architecture, art, and music. The volume demonstrates the diversity of Jesuit contributions to Latin American culture. Published works often focus on one theme or region that is approached from a particular disciplinary perspective. This volume is therefore unusual in considering not only the range of Jesuit activities but also the diversity of perspectives from which they may be approached. It includes papers from scholars of history, linguistics, religion, art, architecture, cartography, music, medicine and science.

Be Opened! The Catholic Church and Deaf Culture offers readers a people’s history of deafness and sign language in the Catholic Church. Paying ample attention to the vocation stories of deaf priests and pastoral workers, Portolano traces the transformation of the Deaf Catholic community from passive recipients of mercy to an active language minority making contributions in today’s globally diverse church. Background chapters familiarize readers with early misunderstandings about deaf people in the church and in broader society, along with social and religious issues facing deaf people throughout history. A series of connected narratives demonstrate the strong Catholic foundations of deaf education in sign language, including sixteenth-century monastic schools for deaf children and nineteenth-century French education in sign language as a missionary endeavor. The author explains how nineteenth-century schools for deaf children, especially those founded by orders of religious sisters, established small communities of Deaf Catholics around the globe. A series of portraits illustrates the work of pioneering missionaries in several different countries—“apostles to the Deaf”—who helped to establish and develop deaf culture in these communities through adult religious education and the sacraments in sign language. In several chapters focused on the twentieth century, the author describes key events that sparked a modern transformation in Deaf Catholic culture. As linguists began to recognize sign languages as true human languages, deaf people borrowed the practices of Civil Rights activists to gain equality both as citizens and as members of the church. At the same time, deaf people drew inspiration and cultural validation from key documents of Vatican II, and leadership of the Deaf Catholic community began to come from the deaf community rather than to it through missionaries. Many challenges remain, but this book clearly presents Deaf Catholic culture as an important and highly visible embodiment of Catholic heritage.
