The Resources for Catholic Educators Web site offers extensive resources on the following topics:
A Handshake from Heaven is a beautifully illustrated book written by Carol S. Bannon, a full time writer with a degree in elementary education. I found sections of the text moving. The publishers' Web site describes it as follows:
I agree with this description. I would, however, have liked the text to touch a bit more on the horizontal dimension of the Eucharist: this sacrament no doubt unites us more and more with God - this is the vertical dimension - but it also opens us to a deeper communion with our brothers and sisters and makes us grow in love for them, especially those most in need of our love. This communal aspect of the Eucharist is not as developed in the text as I would have hoped. Nonetheless, the book is a wonderful resource.
In the Fall Issue of Company Magazine 2007: Forgiving Yourself by Jerry Pockar “There is no greater gift than forgiveness,” says Franklin Stewart. “Once you believe God forgives you, then you can forgive yourself.” Clapton, Blues and Conversion by Ronald Rolheiser OMI: An interesting article about the conversion of blues guitar player Eric Clapton. Articles gleaned from the December issue of the online magazine Spirituality for Today – December 2007 What Is Eternal Life?By Rev. Msgr. Frank Wissel “To know Christ is to have eternal life now. And to know him now is to know him then, when this earthly life is over, and our eyes are closed in death. He is the one that confers on us a higher kind of life, which begins right now and carries over into eternity.”New Year's Prayer
