Saturdays with Father Schall: An Older Jesuit, A Young Jesuit, On Fatherhood, Intellectual Life, and Friendship

by Fr. Stefanus Hendrianto, SJ, PhD

This book, inspired by an essay for Fr. Schall’s 90th birthday, reflects on the author’s relationship with the older Jesuit. It explores themes of “another sort of learning,” intertwining intellectual and spiritual growth, meditations on life and death, and the vocational journey of becoming a priest. Drawing from personal memories, it aims to honor Fr. Schall’s impact on the author’s faith and education.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Fr. Stefanus Hendrianto, S.J. is a member of the Society of Jesus USA West Province (Jesuit West). In recent years, he served as a lecturer at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, Italy. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Washington School of Law in Seattle, an LLM from Utrecht University in the Netherlands, and an LLB degree from Gadjah Mada University in Indonesia. Additionally, he earned both an MDiv and a ThM from Boston College. Fr. Hendrianto was born and raised in Indonesia, where he was actively involved in the student movement against the military dictatorship during his college years. After the fall of the military regime in 1998, he began a period of soul-searching that led him to leave the country to pursue graduate studies. During his time at the University of Washington Catholic Newman Center, he experienced a profound conversion of faith and met Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J. This encounter prompted him to discern his calling to join the Society of Jesus. He entered the Jesuit Novitiate in 2009 and was ordained as a priest in 2019. As part of his regency assignment, he spent two years at Santa Clara University, where he taught at the law school and in the political science department. During his time there, he formed a friendship with Father James V. Schall, S.J., which became a significant part of the story in this book.

La disciplina spirituale: Meditazioni sull’insegnamento di Frithjof Schuon por James S. Cutsinger

La disciplina spirituale: Meditazioni sull’insegnamento di Frithjof Schuon por James S. Cutsinger

La disciplina spirituale: Meditazioni sull’insegnamento di Frithjof Schuon

Scritto da James S. Cutsinger e tradotto da Marco Toto

Si tratta di un’introduzione alla scuola perennialista della filosofia religiosa comparata e di una guida per il lettore generale che cerca risposte intellettualmente serie ma accessibili alle domande sulla vita spirituale.

Due libri in uno, La disciplina spirituale è un’introduzione per gli studiosi alla scuola perennialista della filosofia religiosa comparata e allo stesso tempo una guida per il lettore generale che cerca risposte intellettualmente serie ma accessibili alle domande sulla vita spirituale.

Gli studiosi troveranno un’introduzione completa all’opera di Frithjof Schuon, la principale figura contemporanea della scuola perennialista o tradizionalista della religione comparata. Scritto da James S. Cutsinger, una delle massime autorità accademiche della filosofia perenne, il libro fornisce un commento dettagliato sull’intera gamma degli scritti spirituali di Schuon.

Ma il libro si rivolge anche ai lettori curiosi e alla ricerca in generale. Composto in uno stile semplice e colloquiale, si presenta come una lettera aperta agli studenti dell’autore. L’obiettivo è quello di tagliare con la banalità di molti insegnamenti spirituali odierni e di fornire risposte intellettualmente serie ma accessibili a domande tipicamente poste da cinici e scettici, credenti conservatori e persone attratte dalle cosiddette religioni “new age”.

I consigli dell’autore assumono la forma di una serie di meditazioni su Verità, Virtù, Bellezza e Preghiera, che Schuon considera gli elementi fondamentali di ogni autentico cammino spirituale. I temi affrontati, sia teorici che pratici, comprendono le prove di Dio, il problema del male, le virtù classiche, la predestinazione e la libertà, il simbolismo e la gerarchia cosmica, l’arte sacra, il rapporto tra metodo spirituale e grazia, le tecniche di concentrazione e meditazione, il ruolo del maestro spirituale e il destino umano. Il libro si conclude con un epilogo sulla nota tesi di Schuon sull’“unità trascendente delle religioni”.

TESTIMONIANZE

“Una magnifica introduzione al più grande pensatore religioso del nostro secolo”. — Huston Smith, autore di “ Le religioni del mondo”.

“Questo libro sarà ricordato con gratitudine dai migliori lettori come una chiave d’oro che spalanca le porte della fuga dalle tensioni interiori e dalla confusione mentale”. — Martin Lings, già custode dei manoscritti orientali del British Museum.

SULL’AUTORE

James Sherman Cutsinger (4 maggio 1953 – 19 febbraio 2020) è stato autore, editore e professore emerito di studi religiosi presso l’Università della Carolina del Sud, le cui opere si sono concentrate principalmente sulla religione comparata, sulla moderna scuola tradizionalista della filosofia perenne, sulla spiritualità cristiana orientale e sulla tradizione mistica della Chiesa ortodossa orientale.

INFORMAZIONI SUL TRADUTTORE

Marco Toti, nato a Roma nel 1976, è dottore di ricerca in “Tradizioni e Istituzioni Religiose di Ambiente Circum-mediterraneo”; è stato borsista “Fulbright” e presso l’Accademia dei Lincei; è stato giudicato idoneo come professore universitario di seconda fascia di “Storia delle Religioni” (abilitazione nazionale, 2013). Ha pubblicato vari lavori concernenti argomenti di mistica e religioni comparate, con particolare attenzione al metodo di orazione esicasta ed all’iconografia cristiano-orientale, oltre che alcune questioni inerenti al “lessico dell’ascesi” in epoca tardo-antica, agli anni ’60 in prospettiva storico-teoretica e storico-intellettuale (Concilio Vaticano II, “tradizionalismo”, “nuovi movimenti religiosi”), alla storiografia storico-religiosa (“ermeneutica” e “scuola di Roma”), agli Indiani d’America. Ha studiato, effettuato ricerche e tenuto conferenze e seminari presso varie università ed istituti europei e statunitensi; ha vissuto e viaggiato, tra l’altro, in Francia, USA, Grecia, Marocco e nel Sudest asiatico; ha scritto decine di articoli di alta divulgazione ed in ambito pubblicistico (costume, politica, Chiesa, letteratura, attualità, storia “occulta”). Ultimamente, oltre ad insegnare in istituti superiori, si sta occupando di prospettive “metapolitiche” e – nell’ambito di un più ampio discorso relativo al legame tra lessico mistico e storia culturale – dei temi della memoria, della tradizione e della malinconia come “stimmung” di Occidente.

Paperback: $12.95 | Kindle: $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“A wonderful paradigm through which readers can learn liturgical theology with helpful ease, practical application, and an obvious invitation to grow spiritually.” – from the Foreword by Rev. Michael W. Davis, KCHS

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

The Reverend Nicholas L. Gregoris (1972-2024) was a member of Priestly Society of Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman who held theological degrees from the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Pontifical Faculty Marianum, both in Rome, as well as a doctorate in Catholic school administration from Pontifex University. He served as the managing editor of The Catholic Response magazine.
 
Fr Nicholas was the major translator of The Mission of Catholic Schools: A Century of Reflection and Direction, a perfect resource for curriculum development, Catholic identity assessment, professional development seminars and the creation of mission statements. This anthology originated from the repeated wish of “practitioners” to have a handy collection of ecclesiastical documents on Catholic schools. Under that rubric, included are papal teachings, as well as texts from the Second Vatican Council, the Congregation for Catholic Education, the Code of Canon Law, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church. Although the Church has been engaged in the education apostolate from her earliest days, it was deemed necessary to take on a reasonable focus—a century of reflection seemed to fit the bill, beginning with the pontificate of Benedict XV and ending with that of Francis.

Minding Mom: A Caregiver’s Devotional Story by Lisa Livezey

Minding Mom: A Caregiver’s Devotional Story by Lisa Livezey

Minding Mom: A Caregiver’s Devotional Story

by Lisa Livezey

Devotional writer Lisa Livezey understands the challenges of full-time caregiving atop an already-full life. Following her father’s sudden death, Lisa was plunged headlong into caring for her mother who was battling Alzheimer’s. With wisdom and candor, Lisa pairs every day and extraordinary caregiving moments with scriptures, prayers, and reflections. Caregivers will:

 
  • Feel recognized and valued
  • Laugh amidst the craziness
  • Experience God in the day-to-day
Paperback $TBA | $9.99 Kindle

TESTIMONIALS

“Through scripture and thought-provoking questions, Lisa has given us a guide to reflect on God’s goodness in our most difficult, heart wrenching circumstances. Her devotional is a gift to caregivers, family members and anyone seeking solace as they give of themselves to serve another.” – Janet Lozano, Co-Founder, Heart of the Father Ministries

“This is a heart-warming, gut-wrenching (in a good way), true life story that would touch all people. Caregivers can especially relate but death touches us all so everyone could benefit by reading this book. It isn’t a one-time read either – definitely something that will be referred to often and a “go-to” in trying times for comfort.” – Ave G., who retired early to care for her mother at home

“I love the blending of scripture, reflection, and real-life observations. Lisa’s very personal and insightful view sets Minding Mom 365 apart from other books in this genre. I highly recommend that anyone who wants to contemplate life, where they’re going, and where they’ve been, not just read this book but sit with it and let it become absorbed into their system. They will be the richer for it.” – Ben Bongers, KM, Gerontologist, author, and contributor to eldercare textbooks

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Seasons of the Soul: An Intimate God in Liturgical Time by Sr. Carla Mae Streeter, OP

Seasons of the Soul: An Intimate God in Liturgical Time by Sr. Carla Mae Streeter, OP

Seasons of the Soul: An Intimate God in Liturgical Time

By Sr. Carla Mae Streeter, OP

The seasons of the soul are the seasons of the liturgical calendar. The liturgy is about a relationship, and Sr. Carla Mae’s gorgeous images, poetry and prose describe how the liturgy is a means of deepening our relationship with God communally. The material comes highly recommended by RCIA coordinators as a perfect introduction to how the liturgy is the place where a loving God invites us — individually and as a body — into an ever more intimate experience of the Trinitarian relationship.
 
Paperback: $12.95 | Kindle: $9.99

 

TESTIMONIALS

“This series of nourishing meditations on the liturgical seasons is written by an excellent theologian. In addition to the Introduction, which is simply flabbergasting, readers will be taken by the bodily, indeed the womanly character of her spirituality, her associating the whole cosmos with the Incarnation, and her adroit, poetic play with symbols. A profound, short book, which deserves to be read more than once.’ Louis Roy, O.P., formerly Professor of Theology at Boston College, now teaching at the Dominican University College in Ottawa
“Seasons of the Soul is a required text in the Lay Spiritual Formation Program at Aquinas Institute of Theology. With inspiring images and metaphors, Sr. Carla Mae invites the formation students to explore a deeper relationship with God and the Church through the lens of the liturgical cycle. Grounded in reality and the stuff of life, Seasons of the Soul finds a resonance with the life and spirituality of the lay minister. Marian Love, MAPS, Director, Lay Spiritual Formation Program, Aquinas Institute of Theology, St. Louis, MO
“I recommend Seasons of the Soul to all who wish to enter more deeply into the spirituality of the liturgical seasons. The reflections, meditative questions, and poetry of Sr. Carla Mae present a sacred doorway through which insights into our humanity, our discipleship, and our relationship with Christ can be explored and which go beyond the interesting facts and rituals of the seasons into their life-giving meaning. Joseph Milner, Director of Christian Initiation for the Archdiocese of St. Louis
“Rooted in the rhythms of the liturgy, this volume offers a rich resource for prayer and reflection in every season of life. Mary Catherine Hilkert, O.P., Professor of Theology, University of Notre Dame
“I recommend Seasons of the Soul to all who wish to enter more deeply into the spirituality of the liturgical seasons. The reflections, meditative questions, and poetry of Sr. Carla Mae present a sacred doorway through which insights into our humanity, our discipleship, and our relationship with Christ can be explored and which go beyond the interesting facts and rituals of the seasons into their life-giving meaning. – Joseph Milner, Director of Christian Initiation for the Archdiocese of St. Louis
