The Sacramentality of Personhood: A Philosophical Thirst Meets Theology

by Msgr. Walter Oxley

The Sacramentality of Personhood explores the deep connection between philosophy and theology in understanding human personhood as inherently relational and sacred. Drawing on Ratzinger, Balthasar, Zizioulas, Maximus the Confessor, and David Walsh, Oxley offers a compelling vision of personhood as communion rooted in Trinitarian love. This scholarly yet accessible book is ideal for students, seminarians, and readers seeking to unite philosophical inquiry with a Christ-centered understanding of the human person.

Paperback: $19.95 | Kindle: $9.99

How do you speak love to your child in a world full of noise?

Embraced helps parents and catechists nurture a child’s identity in God’s unconditional love. Each chapter equips you with ways to invite conversation and build emotional connection to form your child’s heart in faith and joy. Let God’s unconditional love do its work.

Paperback: $12.95 | Kindle: $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“Warm, practical, and deeply rooted in the Church’s vision of the human person, Embraced equips parents to form children in truth and love, uniting sound psychology with a clear, accessible presentation of Catholic faith.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, co-author with Ronda Chervin of Catholic Realism

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sr. Mary Gianna Casino, a missionary of the Leaven of the Immaculate Heart of Mary SIsters, where she has worked with preschoolers to college students in the U.S. and the Philippines. She’s also a licensed clinical therapist with degrees in Theology, Philosophy, and Clinical Mental Health Counseling, blending faith and psychology to help people grow in resilience, healing, and virtue.

Her work has been profiled by the New York Times, EWTN, National Catholic Register, and ABC 12 News, but what she loves most is sharing stories that help kids and families connect heart, mind, and soul. Inspired by her devotion to the Blessed Mother, she writes with the hope that children discover both joy and faith through her books.

When she’s not writing, you might find Sister Gianna in the convent praying Liturgy of the Hours or laughing with her sisters – usually at her own jokes. She believes faith and fun go hand in hand – and that joy is one of the best ways to teach the next generation about God’s love.
