Intentional Presbyterates: THE WORKBOOK |
This workbook, a companion to Intentional Presbyterates,
is meant to offer structures and resources to dioceses and priests who
are ready to say “no” to the “priests in private practice” model of the
past and the growing “tribalism” model of today. This workbook is meant
to help presbyterates enunciate a shared vision. No two dioceses are
alike. The ideas and resources for presbyetral gatherings contained
within this workbook are meant to be adapted and built upon whenever
possible and wherever needed. (8 X 10, 72. pgs) View Table of Contents |

The Spiritual Leadership of a Parish Priest:
On Being Good and Being Good At It |
One
of the most critical Issues facing American Catholicism is the quality
of Its priestly leadership. There are many how-to resources on pastoral
techniques, but very few on spiritual leadership. The author defines
spiritual leadership as the ability to influence people internally to
move from where they are to where God wants them to be and pastoral
leadership as the ability to skillfully use the rites, rules and
rituals of the Church to make that happen. Seminaries spend a lion
share of their time emphasizing personal piety, but priests today must
not only be good personally, they must be good at what they do. (143 pgs.) View Table of Contents |

El Párroco Como Director Espiritual: Ser Bueno y Ser Bueno En Lo Que Haces
SPANISH EDITION - The Spiritual Leadership of a Parish Priest |
Uno
de los temas más críticos que enfrenta el catolicismo estadounidense es
la calidad de su liderazgo sacerdotal. Hay muchos cómo-a los recursos
en los métodos pastorales, pero muy pocos en el liderazgo espiritual.
El autor define el liderazgo espiritual como la capacidad de influir en
las personas internamente para moverse de donde están a donde Dios
quiere que sean y el liderazgo pastoral como la capacidad de utilizar
con habilidad los ritos, reglas y rituales de la Iglesia para que esto
suceda. Seminarios pasan la mayor parte de su tiempo haciendo hincapié
en la piedad personal, pero los sacerdotes de hoy no sólo deben ser
buenos personalmente, deben ser buenos en lo que hacen. (152 páginas) Ver la Tabla de Contenido |

The Character of a Pastor in Exercising Authority
|
This book is a contemporary summary of St. Bonaventure's timeless 13th century work, The Six Wings of the Seraph,
in which he describes six qualities that should guide men charged with
governing a Christian community. His words are amazingly appropriate
even in the 21st century. Priests, especially pastors, are called to be
teachers of the Word, ministers of the sacraments and leaders of the
community. This short book (30 pages), addresses the character of the
pastor himself and how it affects his leadership role within the
community. (30 pgs.)

Personal Growth Plan: A Handbook for Priests |
The
one thing that all successful pastoral leaders have in common is their
drive for improvement — both in who one is and what one does — a fierce
commitment to their own lifelong formation and an unflinching quest for
personal excellence. This workbook is used in ongoing formation
programs at the Institute for Priests and Presbyerates at St. Meinrad
School of Theology. It provides a framework for priests to examine
their lives, both ministerial and personal, and set goals for growth.
In this handbook, many different areas of focus and growth are
recommended. It is your job, through prayerful discernment, to put in
place a manageable plan that has realistic goals and healthy benchmarks
for evaluation. You will be amazed at how such a simple tool in your
life can lead to radical transformation. (54 pgs., 8x10)

Daily Bread: A Handbook for Priests Learning to Cook for Themselves
When
I was Saint Meinrad Seminary’s Director of the Institute for Priests
and Presbyterates, I led the development of programs for those
transitioning out of the seminary, those becoming pastors for the first
time, international priests acclimating to American culture and
seasoned pastors living alone. One thing became obvious – many did not know how to cook simple healthy meals for themselves.
Most priests today live alone, without traditional housekeepers who do
the shopping and cooking. Many priests today eat on the run, many times
eating carry outs or junk food, often late in the evening after a very
busy day. This book, authored by Tim Schoenbachler, was written
specifically for priests who want to learn how to cook. It details
everything you need to know: which tools and pots and pans you need,
what you need in your pantry, information about cuts of meat, poultry,
seafood, vegetables and basic techniques for preparing a recipe and
much more. There are over 80 simple recipes with many that can be
prepared in 30 minutes or less. Where possible recipe amounts are
geared to single servings. I highly recommend this book! (160 pgs., 8-1/2x11)

The Lord Is Close to the Brokenhearted
|
The
Blue Christmas Mass is a tradition begun in 2011 at Our Lady of the
Woods Chapel by Fr. Ronald Knott, chaplain at Bellarmine University in
Louisville, Ky. It was the result of an article he wrote for The Record
which noted that for many the Christmas season can be more depressing
than uplifting. “Not everybody finds this time of year to be a happy
time. People lose relatives, parents lose children. For a lot of people
there is a great deal of sadness. This book is a collection of Fr.
Knott's homilies given at the past five Blue Christmas Masses. He
offers them as a comfort to those who find Christmas a painful
time. (42 pgs.) |

Affirming Goodness |
This book is a collection of the most memorable and universally themed articles from my weekly column, An Encouraging Word, which began appearing in my diocesan newspaper, The Record,
in 2002. My goal was to be a voice of God's affirmation and
encouragement for ordinary people going about their daily lives. This
is a book of "spiritual reading" that deals with such topics as hope,
courage, forgiveness, gratitude, holiness, fear, trust and more. There
are 70 articles gathered in this book which also includes a collection
of the nearly 200 thought-provoking quotes cited in the articles in the
book. (200 pgs.) View Table of Contents |

Sunday Nights - Encouraging Words for Young Adults |
One
of the many choices facing young adults in every age is whether to
embrace or discard all or part of their religious upbringing. Most of
them, especially during the turmoil of adolescence, go through some
degree of rebellion. Some do not make it through that period of sorting
and sifting, but many do make it, and begin their own personal faith
journeys. It is to this group that I have especially addressed this
collection of homilies, almost all of them delivered in St. Robert
Bellarmine Chapel. (125 pgs.) View Table of Contents

One Heart at a Time - Renewing the Church in the New Millennium |
This collection of homilies answers the question that so many people asked me after reading An Encouraging Word:
“Where does one go after one grasps the fact that God loves us without
condition?” The answer is simply this: after conversion comes
transformation. In the first book, I spoke of "conversion” as waking up
to the fact that we are loved by God, without condition. In this second
book, I speak of “transformation” as that gradual change which is
possible within us once we have been awakened to and cooperate with
God’s unconditional love. (144 pgs.)

An Encouraging Word - Renewed Hearts, Renewed Church |
| Ronald
Knott’s homilies have been gathered together so that they might give an
encouraging word to all who look to Christ as a source of healing and
hope. They have been arranged in view of the unfolding of the Christian
mystery: from anticipation of Christ’s coming, through his life,
ministry, and death, to his resurrection and new life in the church
through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. ... these words will
be all the more profitable when read together with those passages from
Scripture which they seek to illuminate. – from the Foreword by Michael Downey (143 pgs.) View Table of Contents |
