This work is the first academic study of Carmelite Avertan Fenech and his spirituality. However, written in a very approachable style. Ebejer examines Fr. Avertan’s Christological spirituality in his works and life within the Carmelite tradition. Particular attention is given to Avertan’s life of prayer, as the defining character of Carmel. His particular style of prayer reflects that of the Reform of Touraine. Fr. Avertan’s notebooks contain meditations, conferences, prayers, and transcriptions. His life of prayer overflowed into his ministry as novice master and spiritual director. All this brings out his genuine interest in helping other transform in Christ. He was also intent on providing his students with the best education on spiritual matters and Carmelite spirituality.

This is the biography of a Carmelite, born in Bolsward (The Netherlands) in 1881, who dies in the concentration camp in Dachau, Germany in 1942 and is beatified as a martyr for the Catholic faith by Pope John Paul I on November 3. 1985. As president of the Catholic Schools and assistant of the Union of Catholic Journalists in The Netherlands (UCIP), Fr. Brandsma denounced with authentic and prophetic courage the trampling of human and religious rights by the Nazi movement, defended the Jews as well as educational freedom, and the Catholic press during the invasion of the Netherlands.
“He is a dangerous little friar,” shouted the Nazis and they arrested him. After enduring several jails and concentration camps, Brandsma found himself at the terrible camp in Dachau where he suffered unspeakable physical and moral tortures and underwent the infamous biochemical experiments of the Nazis. He was killed with an injection of carbolic acid on July 26, 1942.
This biography is based on the acts of the process of canonization as well as biographies printed in various languages. To better understand Brandsma’s spiritual journey, the author visited The Netherlands and Germany, in pilgrimage to the places of birth, life, and death of this “martyr for freedom of expression.”
These pages bring before you the life of a simple, cordial Carmelite, a multifaceted priest as well as a mystic, passionate journalist, rector magnificus of the Catholic University of Nijmegen. But in all of these Brandsma lives as a courageous witness to Christ, even to the point of giving his own life for the Truth.

El precio de la verdad es la biografía de un sacerdote carmelita, nacido en Bolsward (Holanda) en 1881, muerto en el campo de concentración de Dachau (Alemania) en 1942 y beatificado como mártir, por Juan Pablo II, el 3 de noviembre de 1985.
Como Presidente de las Escuelas Católicas y Asistente de la Unión de Periodistas Católicos de Holanda (UCIP). denunció con la valentía de auténtico profeta el atropello de todos los derechos humans y religiosos que significó el nacional-socialismo nazi, defendiendo a los hebreos, así como la libertad de enseñanza y de prensa católicas en la invadida Holanda.
“Es un fraile muy peligroso”, gritaron los nazis. Y le arrestaron. Cinco cárceles y campos de concentración hubo de recorrer hasta caer en el temible campo de Dachau, en el que, tras sufrir indecibles torturas físicas y morales y haber sido sometido a infames experimentos bioquímicos, fue asesinado con una inyección de ácido fénico el 26 de julio de 1942.
Esta biografía está basada fundamentalmente en las actas del proceso de canonización y en algunas biografías en diversas lenguas. Para mejor ambientarla, el autor ha visitado Holanda y Alemania, peregrinando a los lugares del nacimiento, vida y muerte de este “mártir de la libertad de expresión”.
Estas páginas harán pasar ante ti su vida de carmelita sencillo y cordial, de polifacético sacerdote a la vez que místico, de apasionado periodista, de catedrático-rector magnífico de la Universidad Católica de Nimega y de esforzado testigo de Cristo hasta dar su propia vida por la verdad.

Los diarios de dos carmelitas sobre sus años en los campos de concentración nazis. Publicados en preparación del 75º aniversario de la liberación de los campos nazis. Ambos sobrevivieron pero quedaron impactados por sus experiencias hasta su muerte.
===================
¿Por qué contar aquello? Pero debemos hablar. Los muertos piden que hablemos para que su voz se oiga a través de la nuestra. Si deseo hablar de Dachau. de los cinco años que viví como prisionero en Alemania, es precisamente en su nombre; y también en el del profesor Tito Brandsma, mi querido amigo, hermano y compañero de prisión. Recordaré mientras viva la última vez que lo vi, cuando lo llevaba al Revier, el hospital del campo. Me saludó con un “nos vemos pronto!”, exhausto, pero alegre como siempre.
QUE SU VOZ SE OIGA ATRAVÉS DE LA NUESTRA
Rafael Tijhuis (1913-1981)
Antes de imprimir el presente folleto, lo leí a dos de mis compañeros que fueron prisioneros en Dachau. Los dos estuvieron de acuerdo en que -aunque está escrito objetivamente y es bastante ecuánime- le falta el elemento más esencial, del que estaban Ilenos los días y cada hora en Dachau, o sea, el terror y el crimen. Estoy completamente de acuerdo con ellos, y por eso me siento obligado a subrayar que en este folleto no he reproducido en su totalidad la realidad del campo en cuanto a su atrocidad, sadismo, injusticia, violación de los derechos sagrados y los derechos naturales de la persona, así como todo género de crímenes, que a cualquier hombre normal, solo con presenciarlos, haría que se le congelase la sangre en las venas

La vicenda storico-teologica ed esistenziale di S. Maria Maddalena de’ Pazzi (1566-1607) si svolge nell’ambito dell’atmosfera conciliare tridentina e si colloca tra un Rinascimento declinante ed un Barocco che si sta affermando. Il presente volume raccoglie e amplifica, in parte, alcuni studi sulla santa e sul suo pensiero teologico-mistico che l’ha portata a scandagliare il Mistero di Dio in maniera singolare. Dalla lettura e meditazione della Scrittura e dalla celebrazione eucaristica, la santa carmelitana fa scaturire dense riflessioni e tutta una teologia molto profonda che mette in luce il discorso su Dio, sull’uomo e sulla Chiesa. Nei suoi scritti, a diversi livelli, si evidenzia il suo amore per Dio, per l’umanità bisognosa di redenzione e per la Chiesa chiamata a testimoniare la misericordia di Dio, rendendosi altresì conto degli effetti deleteri che il peccato produce.

Tra il 1625 e il 1627 venne celebrato a Licata un “processo” sui miracoli attribuiti a sant’Angelo carmelitano, il cui martirio, secondo la tradizione agiografica, sarebbe avvenuto proprio nella città affacciata sul Canale di Sicilia. In quel luogo, inoltre, sarebbe sgorgata una fonte d’acqua miracolosa, tuttora esistente, medium privilegiato di miracoli e guarigioni. I 113 testimoni interrogati ci consegnano un complesso affresco storico, in cui le vicende della peste che colpì la Sicilia nel 1624 e Licata nel 1625 si intrecciano con la storia della medicina e delle pratiche di guarigione messe in atto nel santuario, contribuendo a tratteggiare il contesto culturale e sociale della Sicilia di prima età moderna. Il volume propone un dettagliato studio degli atti del processo, analizzati da una prospettiva storico-culturale, e ne fornisce la prima edizione critica.

St. John of the Cross coined the phrase “dark night of the soul.” He stands at the forefront of authors who have plumbed the depths of human feelings of abandonment, bringing the light of the Gospel to hear on the perception of God’s absence in our loneliest hours. In his exquisite poetry, and precise prose explanations, we hear almost nothing about God’s Eucharistic presence. This book mines the biographical evidence available, and systematically studies all of
John’s writings to find his answer. “This eternal spring I long for; I see with this living bread.” (La Fonte, Stz. 13).
The Mystical Doctor comes to life in the stories his contemporaries told of him. Little known stories come to light, particularly his unfailing trust in Christ’s eucharistic presence and power in the face of a fire that threatened to destroy the monastery he lived in. We see his tender words to the Lord in the Eucharist in his final hours on earth.
Review of John’s writings show telling phrases and references that point towards the Eucharistic core of his spiritual life. Texts appear in several of his poems, in each of his treatises, his letters, and his “Saving of Light and Love.” Dr. Love collects this body of evidence from St. John’s life and writings and compares it with several recent papal writings on the Eucharist. Appearing in the midst of Eucharistic revival, this book invited the readers to participate fruitfully by reflecting on the words and example of St. John of the Cross.

La Expositio paraenetica in Regulam Carmelitanam, di cui viene qui presentata la prima traduzione italiana, è un trattato del beato Jean Soreth (1394-1471), «priore generale dei fratelli e delle sorelle della Beata Vergine Maria del Monte Carmelo» – com’egli stesso si definiva. Egli fu alla guida dell’Ordine per venti anni (1451-1471) e, da uomo di notevole statura spirituale, spese la maggior parte del tempo per favorire e consolidare il benessere e la salute spirituale dei confratelli e delle consorelle.
Questo testo, come suggerisce il titolo, è un commentario alla Regola del Carmelo in forma esortativa: essa si situa nel contesto tardo-medievale di una riforma dell’Ordine, che in qualche modo ha dato un’impronta all’identità dei carmelitani nella prima modernità. E Jean Soreth fu una persona capace di iniziare un processo di riforma: si prodigò per individuare persone sensibili a incarnare il modello di vita carmelitana proposto dalla Regola e disponibili a mettersi in gioco.
