Title: The burnout in pastoral life
Author: P. Miguel Guerra, LC
Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform.
Review: Those experiencing burnout have their personal, family, and work relationships negatively affected, to the point of no longer recognizing themselves as they were before. This book attempts to conceptualize realities that are often taken for granted in the lives of pastoral agents (priests, catechists, religious, and consecrated persons) and that, however, can lead to discovering personal inconsistencies that, if not addressed and integrated into one’s life, will only leave deep wounds and negative experiences of ministry.

Title: The Prodigal of Forgiveness: The True Face of the Father’s Mercy
Author: P. Joseph Burtka, LC
Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform.
Review: Many people suffer because they cannot forgive others. These individuals live enclosed in darkness and bitterness of resentment. Although forgiveness is a gift from God, a gift that must be asked for insistently, there are also many human means we can apply to prepare the ground to receive this gift. This book aims to offer the reader a range of tools that Jesus Christ himself gave us through the parable of the prodigal son. A small, easy-to-read, and convenient book for meditation.

Title: Walking with Seneca: Dialogues
Author: P. Antonio Herrero, LC
Publisher: Universidad UFV
Review: Human life is a journey. Seneca imagines it as a trip from Italy to the city of Syracuse in Sicily. Along the way, there will be dangers, setbacks, storms, and also quietude and incomparable wonders. With this metaphor of navigation, the philosopher invites us to delve into the desires of human existence: giving meaning to life and time, the pursuit of happiness and glory; but also, its trials and enigmas: the struggle of vices and virtues, the brevity of life, old age, death, and immortality.

Title: The Relevance of Abandoning Faith and Being Censured in Marriage Admission
Author: P. José Fernández San Román, LC
Publisher: IF PRESS
Review: The book offers a historical-canonical study of the sources and iter drafting of canons 1065 and 1066 of the 1917 Code, which deal with the so-called marriage cum indignis. The study is complemented by the analysis of three pronouncements from the Holy See regarding marriage admission: those concerning individuals unaware of Christian doctrine (1918), members of atheistic sects (1934), and communists (1949), thus reaching the thresholds of the Second Vatican Council. The book provides, in light of the sources, a contribution to reflection on the relationship between faith and marriage, since the relevant canons of the current 1983 Code substantially reproduce those studied from the 1917 Code.

Title: Religious Perspectives on Social Responsibility in Health
Authors: Joseph Tham, LC; Alberto García and Chris Durante
Publisher: Springer
Review: This book addresses the meaning and ethical and social implications of social responsibility in health care from the perspective of six major religions and cultures: Buddhism, Confucianism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism. It is the result of research by experts from these traditions who gathered at the University of Anahuac in Mexico in 2015 to discuss this topic in light of Article 14 of UNESCO’s Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights. The book explores possible areas of convergence among the various traditions, as well as ways to manage differences with respect and a desire for mutual understanding in a plural and diverse world.
