"A força de tua voz"

The Professor of the Faculty of Theology and of the University Institute of Spirituality at Comillas, José García de Castro, SJ, PhD, has published in Portuguese the work A força de tua voz. Orientações práticas para acompanhantes e orientadores espirituais (Edições Loyola 2024, ISBN: 9786555043198).

Professor José García de Castro Valdés, from the Department of Moral Theology and Praxis of Christian Life, is a PhD in Philology, a member of the board of the University Institute of Spirituality at Comillas and a recognised expert in Ignatian spirituality.

The following is a summary of the work in English:

One word was enough, the voice of a greeting full of life, of friendship and also of mystery, for Elizabeth's heart to be moved by Mary's presence. Indeed, there are words that awaken and transform, words that encourage and foster life, words that caress and uplift. Yet, among so many empty words, these are few. La fuerza de su voz is a pedagogy of human communication, a path towards the heart of the word, towards that unknown horizon of language that little by little reveals itself as we "learn to speak" from the truth and humility of who we are. This is a book that wants to express surprise and admiration for the "invisible miracle" that happens every day when we decide to start a conversation: in a culture with so many intersections of so many words, a book like this is current and necessary, practical and spiritual, helping us to recognise the Word that inhabits and fills everything.
