THE CATHOLIC REVIEW: Book recommendations for September reading

by Deacon Rick Bauer

Deacon Rick Bauer 0 269

Those who understand the signs of the times are increasingly jarred by the hollowing out of the American middle class. The variance between owner and worker in today’s industries is greater than even Gilded Age barons; the increasing costs of education, health care, housing, and food are hampering the building of fruitful and faithful families in our land. The voices that tempt our citizens toward despair and violence are being accepted as alternatives to this present crisis, for it seems that representative government can only appear to be hopelessly corrupt with self-interest on every side, in every party, leaving a faithful Catholic confused as to ways to live out an authentic Catholic faith.  The deluge of social media only impersonates our sense of connection and happiness.

“And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, ‘Behold, this child is destined for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel, and for a sign that shall be contradicted.  And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.’” (Luke 2:34, 35).

“Now there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.” (John 19:25).

Ten years ago, Symbolon became the Augustine Institute’s first parish program that was core to their mission of handing down the Catholic faith. It was designed to help every Catholic know the Nicene Creed. Since its initial release, it has been used for catechetical formation and in the Rite of Christian Initiation (recently changed to the Order of Christian Initiation, or OCIA).
