How can what is always eternal be spoken of in temporal terms? How can God who is far above us all be upon this earth and found to be dwelling among us and how can we be a refl ection of Him? How can it be that God is in His Creation, and His Creation in God? Is the Father not the hidden One, from whom all things come? Is the Son not the saving One, by whom we are redeemed this day? Is the Spirit not the guiding One, through whom we shall come to Heaven? And are we not called to be as He is, one with the One LORD forever?
Listen to the LORDs voice speaking in your soul, in the silence of your soul. His silent WORD, His NAME (YHWH) speaks at the heart of all sound; from His Spirit all voice is born. And no tongue, no noise of man, can disturb its purity, its light. It breathes. It lives. He speaks-- bringing life. And there is peace. (Not even death can overcome Him.) Though borne under a cross of pain, here is but love, here wisdom shines in silence, without a word. And in it we find strength; all questions flee. For nothing touches the awe of His Presence. Nothing speaks more fearfully than the silence of God. Listen, if you will, and hear His voice, wherever you are.
Much as he did on his previous work, "Our Daily Bread: Exposition of the Readings of Catholic Mass", the author has sought to let scripture speak for itself. This is again evident in extensive quoting and paraphrasing of the word, but perhaps more significantly in his taking as guiding principle the Lord's instruction not to consider beforehand what to say when brought to bear witness to him (see Mk.13:11).
A poem prayer to each of the Saints currently present on the Latin Rite Liturgical calendar for the Unites States, each page a prayer to draw us closer to their blessed intercession. May we all be as saints in the Body of Christ
Word and Sacrament. This is the food that sustains us here on our pilgrimage to heaven. The Word of God and the Sacrament of the altar this is our daily bread. What greater gift could we ask for than to hear the Word of God proclaimed and receive our Lord each day at holy Mass? This is the foundation of our faith; here is the paragon of prayer which strengthens us for our work in this world. In this writing the author has sought to allow the Scripture readings for each Mass (and all Masses of the liturgical calendar are covered: all Sundays and weekdays of Ordinary Time, Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter seasons, as well as Solemnities and Feasts) speak for themselves. This is evident in his extensive quoting and paraphrasing of the Word, but perhaps more significantly in his taking as his guiding principle the Lords instruction not to consider beforehand what to say when brought to bear witness to Him (see Mk.13:11). After reading the Scriptures for the day three times (before dawn), Mr. Kurt let the Spirit direct him writing without revision, trusting entirely in the Lord. Thus describing spiritual realities in spiritual terms (1Cor.2:13), the message and tone of the writing reflect that of the readings themselves; the work is therefore termed an exposition of the readings of Catholic Mass. This book has received an imprimatur from the Most Reverend John J. Meyers, J.C.D., D.D., Archbishop of Newark, New Jersey. Authors Website: www.writingsofjameskurt.org
An epic spanning more than half a century of Taiwan's history, this breathtaking historical novel traces the fortunes of the Pengs, a family of Hakka Chinese settlers, across three generations from the 1890s, just before Taiwan was ceded to Japan as a result of the Sino-Japanese war, through World War II. Li Qiao brilliantly re-creates the dramatic world of these pioneers -- and the colonization of Taiwan itself -- exploring their relationships with the aboriginal peoples of Taiwan and their struggle to establish their own ethnic and political identities. This carefully researched work of fiction draws upon Li's own experiences and family history, as well as oral and written histories of the era. Originally published in Chinese as a trilogy, this newly translated edition is an abridgement for English-speaking readers and marks the work's first appearance in the English-speaking world. It was well-received in Taiwan as an honest -- and influential -- recreation of Taiwan's history before the relocation of the Republic of China from the mainland to Taiwan. Because Li's saga is so deeply imbued with the unique culture and complex history of Taiwan, an introduction explaining the cultural and historical background of the novel is included to help orient the reader to this amazingly rich cultural context. This informative introduction and the sweeping saga of the novel itself together provide an important view of Taiwan's little known colonial experience.

Here is the story of a man on the way of conversion. Though vaguely autobiographical, it is not intended to portray the particulars of any life but to address the journey all souls undergo in moving from the ways of the world – which lead to destruction – to the path of salvation wrought in Christ’s blood. The key step on this journey (to which one must continually return) is life-giving repentance: one must recognize one’s own complicity in the crucifixion of Jesus, and turn to Him for forgiveness. The Son of God has come to save all men from sin, but we cannot find His cleansing blood upon our souls if we fail to see first His blood upon our hands. Only in this way does our guilt become blessed. I pray His blood upon you, my brother, my sister...
Is there not a terrible lack of Bible literacy in our day; and is it not accompanied by a disturbing lack of faith exhibited even by scholars who interpret the Word of God? A remedy for such “ignorance of Scripture [which] is ignorance of Christ” (St. Jerome) may be found in this inspired work of synopsis and exhortation. Short chapters with succinct titles cover thematic sections of all the books of the Old Testament, providing the reader with a comprehensive overview of the Hebrew Scriptures. Employing a Christian perspective, the author helps us to recognize Jesus as the fulfillment of the Old Testament that we might discern “in God’s works of the Old Covenant prefigurations of what He accomplished in the fullness of time in the Person of His incarnate Son” (CCC 128). Here we have a faith-filled presentation of the sacred text with special emphasis given to the significance of the NAME of the LORD (YHWH), which is at its heart. Mr. Kurt’s book serves well as an aid for those who do not read the Bible or lack familiarity with its contents... and for everyone it is a call to greater reverence for the prophetic nature of God’s Word.
Here is the account of a soul in search of the Lord, in search of his call, a call which has always been with him: a writer, a hermit in the midst of the city… a heart at rest in the arms of Jesus and His Blessed Mother. By way of pilgrimage to Medugorje at the end of a Holy Year, through a stay in a desert hermitage (where he must face the darkness and drink it in), to the finding of joy in suffering of new life in death with Christ here the journey is laid bare in mystical detail for the soul of any other on the way. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Jn. 15:13 http://home.earthlink.net/~worksofjameskurt

This work began with the taking of notes on insights and observations derived from contemplation of the Bible, my own life, and the death of my sister. The writings were initially oriented toward the composition of a filmscript, whose purpose was to depict, abstractly, scenes common to the lives of all mankind from birth to death. In February of 1984, well over a year into this project, these lyrics began to pour forth from me. Three-quarters of them were finished before the end of the month. During this period of my life, I underwent an intense conversion to purity of soul. I immersed myself in the practice of all the artistic mediums, including painting and sculpture, poetry, music, dance, and drama. Striving to be an artist for Christ, my life became as a cross between graduate student, monk, and convict. This way of living and working continued for seven years and resulted in the creation of the large manuscript, Songs for Children of Light: Ten Albums of Lyrics, Music, Dance, and Drama. In this volume, I present the lyric portion of the project with accompanying illustrations. May the Light of the Spirit be with you as you read the words herein. James Kurt June 23, 1995
