In this spiritual biography, Patricia de Menezes offers her witness to the revelations given her by Jesus over three decades. These centre on the name Divine Innocence, which Jesus revealed to be an attribute of the Holy Trinity manifested in himself. The Holy Family of Nazareth, home of Divine Innocence, is the true home of all people, and a school for holiness, especially for those who have become children of God through baptism. We are shown how precious in the sight of God is every human person that he has created in his image and likeness - a challenge to secular society which refuses to accept the validity of this Christian teaching. One consequence of this is that children are being killed before birth on a vast scale. Jesus requests the Catholic Church to recognise the innocent victims of abortion as companion martyrs of the Holy Innocents of Bethlehem, and therefore saints in heaven. A book of vital concern to Catholics, as well as those who are open to an encouraging message from Heaven.

This monograph discusses different philosophical and theological components of Aquinas’s view regarding the relation between human agency and divine providence. Against many contemporary scholars it argues that this view includes a plausible form of strong compatibilism whose philosophical premises are largely independent of Aquinas’s theological positions. Its original contributions to the understanding of Aquinas’s thought include an extensive analysis of Aquinas’s complex conception of modalities, his multileveled understanding of freedom, and his aristocratic perception of values.
