MARY THE CONTEMPLATIVE
- by Joseph Chalmers, O. Carm.
In this work, Fr. Joseph Chalmers, the Prior General of
the Carmelite Order, takes as his starting point the Marian year that the
Order has been celebrating in 2001. He examines the foundations of Carmelite
Marian spirituality and focuses on one aspect, that of Mary as she who
listened to the Word of God and allowed that Word to shape her entire life.
Inspired by her example, Fr. Chalmers develops the theme
of Our Lady as a model for each one of us as we seek to respond to the
invitation to enter an intimate relationship of friendship with God.
The book contains six chapters and two appendices. The
first has the letter of Pope John Paul II to the Carmelite Family on the
occasion of the Carmelite Marian year. The second has the Rule, in the new
English translation of Kees Waaijman, with the new numbering. (In

LA PENITENCIA HOY. CLAVES PARA UNA RENOVACION
- by Fernando Millán Romeral, O.
Carm.
An excellent reflection on some questions regarding the
theology and the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation according to
the new rite of the Church. Millán invites the reader to make use of the
possibilities offered by the rite from a pastoral point of view. The
Christian community, if it asks itself how to live out the forgiveness and
reconciliation and does it honestly, must bear fruit. A fundamental criteria
for this is love as a call to theological rigor and depth. (In Spanish)
