No Journey Will Be Too Long
Friendship in Christian Life
José Tolentino Mendonça
In this engaging book, priest, poet, and professor José Tolentino Mendonça helps us to think about the meaning and relevance of friendship in various situations: in our personal lives, in the context of communities and believers, in social relationships. Friendship is a universal experience and represents for each individual an irreplaceable process of humanization and hope. Nevertheless, we also need wisdom, including a spiritual wisdom, which will enable us to live it more fully. 'Our friends are part of our life,' wrote Raïssa Maritain. But there is more to it than that: they widen our lives, helping to make them more luminous and authentic; they offer us lightness and depth; they purify it with the truth, leaven it with humor, and insist that it is made for the future. Friends bear witness to our heart that there is always a journey to be undertaken and that no journey will be too long."

Jesus and the Woman
Revealing God's Mercy
José Tolentino Mendonça
All human beings are in need of consolation, and that we do not yet pay enough attention to the languages with which our bodies and souls express themselves or to the irreducible uniqueness of the way a story is told; to that part of one's personality that is better expressed in silence and in tears than in words; to the perfume and the gift; to God's welcome as revealed by Jesus and which, above all, is the expression of his unconditional mercy. In this book, author José Tolentino Mendonça unpacks the layers of meaning in the story of the sinful woman who inserts herself uninvited into the dinner party at a Pharisee's home. Jesus's reaction to her reveals much about his relationship to us and the mercy of God.
