Cristo tiene siempre algo que decirnos, a cada uno en particular, personalmente: en el Evangelio, en la doctrina de la Iglesia, en la liturgia. Se incluyen las meditaciones correspondientes para el mes de junio de 2020, desde la memoria de la Bienaventurada Virgen María, Madre de la Iglesia al martes de la 13ª semana del tiempo ordinario, con meditaciones alternativas para días señalados, junto con las lecturas de la Santa Misa. El lector se siente ayudado a conversar con Dios de la vida misma: de sus situaciones reales cotidianas, de sus penas y afanes concretos. Por eso Hablar con Dios no es un tratado para "especialistas", sino para la gente que encontramos cada día por la vida: para la madre de familia, para el empleado, para el oficinista, para el sacerdote, para el profesor. Los más de dos millones de ejemplares vendidos son un ejemplo de esto. El libro no encorseta la oración; es, mas bien, un manantial de sugerencias abiertas, para cualquier circunstancia vital, pero que apunta a la vez a la concreción, a una aplicación efectiva. La oración diaria se proyecta así sobre la convivencia y los quehaceres normales de todos los días. El libro está lleno de sugerencias para adelantar en el amor a Dios, en la convivencia diaria, en la mejora del carácter y en la perfección del trabajo habitual.
Hearing the voice of God is not as difficult as some might think. It may even happen without our realization. As God has spoken throughout the ages, He continues to speak today in many different ways, including through an impression in a person's spirit or through a passage of Scripture or via a prophetic dream. Since we were created to commune with God, He longs for us to draw near to Him so that we can know His heart and understand His will for our lives.

“Here is a life story so unbelievable, it could only be true.” —Sandra Cisneros, bestselling author of The House on Mango Street From bestselling author of the remarkable memoir The Distance Between Us comes an inspiring account of one woman’s quest to find her place in America as a first-generation Latina university student and aspiring writer determined to build a new life for her family one fearless word at a time. As an immigrant in an unfamiliar country, with an indifferent mother and abusive father, Reyna had few resources at her disposal. Taking refuge in words, Reyna’s love of reading and writing propels her to rise above until she achieves the impossible and is accepted to the University of California, Santa Cruz. Although her acceptance is a triumph, the actual experience of American college life is intimidating and unfamiliar for someone like Reyna, who is now estranged from her family and support system. Again, she finds solace in words, holding fast to her vision of becoming a writer, only to discover she knows nothing about what it takes to make a career out of a dream. Through it all, Reyna is determined to make the impossible possible, going from undocumented immigrant of little means to “a fierce, smart, shimmering light of a writer” (Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild); a National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist whose “power is growing with every book” (Luis Alberto Urrea, Pultizer Prize finalist); and a proud mother of two beautiful children who will never have to know the pain of poverty and neglect. Told in Reyna’s exquisite, heartfelt prose, A Dream Called Home demonstrates how, by daring to pursue her dreams, Reyna was able to build the one thing she had always longed for: a home that would endure.
