Ao longo das próximas páginas, exploraremos a vida de José em suas diversas fases: desde o seu chamado profético revelado em sonhos juvenis e o cenário de favoritismo que o tornou alvo da inveja de seus irmos, passando pela dolorosa queda ao ser colocado em um poço e a experiencia da escravido, ate sua milagrosa ascenso ao palacio como governador do Egito a grande potencia daquele tempo. Acompanharemos seus anos de fidelidade em meio ao abandono de seus irmos, revelando o seu carater em meio a tentaço, sua perseverança na priso, e sua sabedoria em tempos de crise. Mas, mais do que os feitos de Jose, o verdadeiro protagonista desta narrativa e a providencia de Deus em todos os momentos na vida de seu servo. Veremos como Deus em sua soberana providencia usou a crueldade dos irmos de Jose, a injustiça de Potifar e o esquecimento do copeiro para tecer um plano grandioso de salvaço, que aos olhos humanos no poderiam esperar. Jose no foi meramente um homem de virtudes admiraveis; ele foi, acima de tudo, um instrumento divino nas mos de um Deus que transforma ate mesmo o mal em bem, como o proprio Jose disse aos seus irmos: Vos bem intentastes mal contra mim, mas Deus o tornou em bem (Gn 50.20), estas palavras so a chave teologica que destranca o significado de toda a trajetoria da vida de Jose.

Explore the intersection of the Bible with Indigenous traditions. Delve deeply into the stories of Scripture alongside the complex histories of Indigenous communities in North America.

Un profundo resumen de la enseñanza cristiana sobre los siete vicios que la tradición ha catalogado como capitales a estos pecados: la soberbia, avaricia, lujuria, ira, gula, envidia y pereza. Son analizados como la cabeza y fuente de todos los demas desordenes, cuya raiz comun es el egoismo que antepone los caprichos a la Ley de Dios.Con fundamento en la Sagrada Escritura y el Magisterio de la Iglesia, se aborda cada vicio en detalle, exponiendo sus pecados derivados, las graves consecuencias que producen en el alma y, lo mas importante, los remedios necesarios para la reparacion. La obra no solo diagnostica la perdida del sentido sobrenatural de la vida contemporanea, sino que ofrece un camino de lucha practica y penitencia.Este camino se centra en el ejercicio de las virtudes contrarias (humildad, generosidad, castidad, etc.) en la oracion, el sacrificio y el acercamiento frecuente a los Sacramentos de la Penitencia y la Eucaristia. A traves de la meditacion de la Pasion de Cristo y la imitacion de la Santisima Virgen Maria, el libro guia al lector a la santidad y a la consecucion de la caridad perfecta.
