Bible Alive Articles
Alive Publishing has the privilege, as a Publisher to the Holy See, to publish Pope Benedict’s latest social encyclical, Caritas in Veritate, which addresses the profound and far-reaching issues of human development.
On October 11, in Rome, Pope Benedict will canonize a truly amazing woman, and Little Sisters of the Poor around the world will give praise and thanks to God for her, their foundress Jeanne Jugan.
International Faith Outreach is delighted to launch a new and exciting initiative.
Taking our inspiration from the Red Cross, who sent out parcels to prisoners of war during the Second World War, we want to send out our own Holy Cross Faith Parcels full of faith resources to our brothers and sisters who live in the third world.
The relics of St Thérèse of Lisieux will be visiting England from September 16 - October 16. Her relics have visited nearly 40 countries around the world and wherever they have gone people have experienced conversion, healing, a renewed sense of vocation and answers to prayers. Fr John Udris, Dean of Northampton Cathedral and author of The Gift of Thérèse of Lisieux helps us to understand and appreciate the significance of the relics of St Thérèse and her prophetic bones.
‘I want to light the way for souls like the prophets…’ This is how Thérèse of Lisieux expressed her ambition and ultimate dream just a year before she died. The Carmelite order to which she belonged looks back to the prophets Elijah and Elisha as its inspiration.
A Leap of Faith Challenge
Pope Benedict has declared a Year of the Priest. The vocation to be a priest is a high and noble one and we at Bible Alive during the course of this year will seek to highlight the beauty and dignity of the priestly vocation.
Fr Peter Norton and Fr James Mealy took part in a charity fund-raising event for the sick, infirm and elderly priests of the Archdiocese of Birmingham. During the event they spoke to Bible Alive about what made them want to embrace the adventure of the priestly vocation.

It's a busy Friday evening at Heathrow's Terminal 5, and BA air stewardess Katie Colbran, 32, has just stepped off a flight from Milan. She's had a busy week that's already taken her to Paris and Amsterdam; tomorrow, she'll be off to Oslo. That's the nature of her amazing job, she says happily: constant travel, a different city every night, and great camaraderie with other flight crew.
Blessed Pier Frassati was literally an explosion of joy. He was truly a man of the beatitudes who, rather like a comet, lit up the night sky for a brief moment and then returned to God. Although born at the turn of the Twentieth Century he is very much a modern saint, a hero for today – his witness will speak to young people for all time.
Pope Benedict XVI, inspired by the Holy Spirit, declared a whole year to be dedicated to the great apostle St Paul.
It has been a wonderful year as we have focused on one of Christendom’s greatest saints and most effective and dynamic evangelists.
St Paul was truly a giant of faith, a man of outstanding qualities in every respect: courage, conviction, clarity, intellect, pastoral care, wisdom, stamina and perhaps most of all love for Christ.
Our hope is that readers of Bible Alive have grown in their love and appreciation of St Paul through the articles and features we have carried but also the way in which the writers of our daily reflections have sought to weave in a reference to his life and witness in their meditations for each day.
On the Day of Pentecost St Peter was a transformed man. He was once a coward; he was once weak, fearful and inarticulate; he was once easily confused, stubborn and dull to the truths of God. On the Day of Pentecost this changed forever.
St Paul considered everything as utterly meaningless and worthless compared with possessing Christ. This brilliant and supremely able man, many years after his conversion, said that more than anything else he wanted to know Christ and the power of his resurrection (Phil. 3:10). He wanted the transforming power of Jesus’ resurrection life to be ever increasing within him so that God’s grace and power would permeate his life and radiate out through him, and he would attain the very likeness of Christ himself.
