In Laudato Si’ Pope Francis established care for creation as one of the central themes of Catholic social teaching. Yet that ecological consciousness has yet to take root en masse among the Catholic faithful. In Green Saints for a Green Generation young Catholic women on “saints”—canonized and not—who connected their faith to concern for the earth. The writers include a wide range of figures, from the traditional, such as Sts. Clare of Assisi, Ignatius of Loyola, and Marguerite Bourgeoys, to contemporary figures like Thomas Merton, author Toni Morrison, and the Martyrs of the Amazon. By connecting these key figures to environmental responsibility, the contributors encourage the not-yet informed to become active, inviting younger generations to join the ecological movement, to take taking on the responsibility from their elders, and to shoulder the ecological burden for themselves.
Libby (Elizabeth) Osgood, CND, PhD, PEng, is co-editor with Kathleen Deignan of Teilhard de Chardin: A Book of Hours (Orbis, 2023).

12 SEP 2024 · Join us in this One on One interview with Robert Ellsberg and author, Mitri Raheb, as they discuss "Decolonizing Palestine: The Land, The People, The Bible".
Get your copy today at https://maryknoll.link/0432ec
Decolonizing Palestine challenges the weaponization of biblical texts to support the current settler-colonial state of Israel. Raheb argues that some of the most important theological concepts –Israel, the land, election, and chosen people – must be decolonized in a paradigm shift in Christian theological thinking about Palestine. Decolonizing Palestine is a timely book that builds on the latest research in settler-colonialism and human rights to place traditional theological themes within the wider socio-political context of settler colonialism as it is practiced by the modern nation-state of Israel. Written by a native Palestinian Christian theologian who continues to live in the region, Decolonizing Palestine provides an insider’s perspective that disrupts hegemonic and imperialist narratives about the region.

22 AUG 2024 · Join us in this One on One interview with Robert Ellsberg and author, Bill Cain, SJ, as they discuss "The Book of Cain: On Adding a New Book to the Family Bible".
Get your copy today at https://maryknoll.link/o2h
The Bible, as Bill Cain reminds us, is largely made up of family stories—stories of birth and death, of generations and legacies, joys and losses—with the astonishing claim that in these stories God is telling us a sacred story. What makes us think that story ended 2,000 years ago?
In this moving account of the months he spent caring for his mother through the ordeal following a diagnosis of terminal cancer, he shows us all how to add “a new book to the family Bible.” With humor, affection, self-awareness, and his skills as a prize-winning playwright, Father Bill invites us to consider the ways that God’s story is written in all the everyday dramas of family life—especially those that open our hearts, teach us to give and let go, and remind us what it means to be human. He writes:
“I make a quiet vow here alone at the kitchen table, where I sat with my mother just a few days ago. . . . I will honor my parents’ stories as Abraham and Sarah’s children did theirs. As Jesus’s friends did his. . . . As best I can, I will sift through a hundred years of stories, always looking for what God chose to reveal in the lives of two perfectly ordinary, absolutely extraordinary people. A new book. Non‑canonical perhaps, but nonetheless revelatory. And perhaps, in doing so, I might be able to find a way to keep the story that began with Abraham and Sarah going forward.”
8 AUG 2024 · Join us in this One on One interview with Robert Ellsberg and author, James Martin, SJ, as they discuss "This Our Exile".
https://maryknoll.link/5d0813
Seamlessly combining spiritual writing, reportage, travel narrative, humor, and recent history, bestselling author James Martin recalls his time as a young Jesuit working with the refugees in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya. Drawing on his previous experience in the business world, he imagined that he had much to teach the refugees. But they would end up teaching him much more about life, about survival and faith, and about love and friendship.
With stories that are by turns frankly incredible, darkly comic, inspirational, tragic, and always provocative, this compelling work is a wonderfully realized tribute to our shared humanity.
25 JUL 2024 · Join us in this One on One interview with Robert Ellsberg and author,Stephen B. Bevans, SVD, as they discuss "Community of Missionary Disciples".
https://maryknoll.link/fcx
In his latest book, Community of Missionary Disciples, missiologist Stephen B. Bevans offers a comprehensive, contemporary ecclesiology through a missionary lens. He unpacks the profound Catholic conviction that the church is missionary by its very nature as he considers what it means for the church to be on mission, in community, and together in discipleship.
Stephen B. Bevans, SVD, is professor emeritus of mission and culture, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago. He is editor of the Brill series “Theology of Mission in Global Christianity” and serves on the editorial board of the International Review of Mission. His many books include An Introduction to Theology in Global Perspective, and Prophetic Dialogue: Reflections on Christian Mission Today (with Roger P. Schroeder) both also available from Orbis Books.
Community of Missionary Disciples is available at 25% off through 31 August 2024
11 JUL 2024 · Join us in this One on One interview with Robert Ellsberg and editor, James W. Bernauer, SJ, as they discuss "Auschwitz and Absolution: The Case of the Commandant and the Confessor".
https://maryknoll.link/4f8eb7
Few people know that in the face of his execution, the notorious Rudolf Höss, the Commandant for Auschwitz, met with a Polish Jesuit priest, Fr. Wladyslaw Lohn. Höss made a confession to Fr. Lohn for approximately four hours, and from Fr. Lohn he received communion. This compelling account of a secret and sacramental meeting not only tells what happened but seventeen Christian and Jewish scholars offer a critical challenge to, or celebration of Christian notions of forgiveness.

20 JUN 2024 · Join us in this One on One interview with Robert Ellsberg and author, Mary Frances Coady, as they discuss "Caryll Houselander: A Biography".
https://maryknoll.link/b1a3e8
This biography tells the life of the elusive twentieth-century English writer, Caryll Houselander, who saved no personal letters and left only her books, which included a short autobiography, a few classics of Catholic spirituality including The Reed of God and The Flowering Tree, and various unpublished personal scratchings. She never had robust health, and mentally had the tendency to live in her own world. Her one aim in life, discovered from adolescence onward, was to see the suffering Christ in humanity.
