"Reading this book is like talking to an old friend. Antonio: A Mexican Boy & His Stories, cuentos told with such vibrancy that characters emerge with rich and complex texture, maps the intricacies hidden behind a person's name. Heartfelt and kind...it is a reminder of what it means to be successful: to move with dignity, integrity, compassion, and a dash of wit. This book is stunning." -Roberta Hurtado, PhDAssociate Professor of Latina/o Literature & Culture, State University of New York at Oswego"Like Antonio, I thought I'd seen changes in the world that meant others following me would be spared the hurts and barriers, but lately, it seems, those changes I thought were real were just a veil...I hope that others will have the chance to read this amazing story and, from it, learn about themselves and the world but, most importantly, come to believe, as I do, that change is possible; we can all be different and better." -Arthur E. Hernandez, phdProfessor of Psychology, UIW Dreeben School of Education, University of Incarnate WordThroughout his life, Jesse Natal Sánchez (December 22, 1936-August 11, 2020) wrote about his upbringing in the Texas community where he was raised. Antonio focuses on the experience of growing up as a Mexican American during the war years of 1941 to 1945 and beyond. Because of Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and other medical complications, the use of Jesse's left arm was highly restricted in the last years of his life. After he retired at age sixty-five and using only three fingers on his laptop, Jesse dedicated himself full-time to finishing this story, and by July 21, 2020, he was done. Thus, the tremors that caused Jesse's arms to shake continuously, day and night, did not stop him from achieving his dream.

You are not just a "dot" in a sea of dots. Do you ever feel like your life is insignificant and you are a small gray "dot" among billions of gifted and colorful dots on the planet? Are you struggling to find meaning and purpose in your life? Does it seem like everyone around you is happy and thriving while you are feeling lost and hopeless? I also experienced similar feelings for a long time, and it got so overwhelming that I ended up in the psychiatric ward. I felt completely invisible and drained. But, during my transformational stay and with the help of two young missionaries, I discovered my authentic self-worth. I realized that my existence, my dot, holds immense significance because my soul has a genuine purpose. The same goes for you. Your soul is on a meaningful journey. You are not just a speck in an endless sea of dots. Even in seemingly insignificant moments, God has a plan for your soul's highest happiness and purpose. In the pages of this book, I share my journey of self-discovery and realization. By reading it, you'll discover how you're already impacting the lives of those around you and helping them on their journey towards a meaningful life through the teachings of Jesus Christ. He reveals how significant we are to Him and others in many ways. This book will help you observe and strengthen your faith in Him to discover your authentic self-worth and realize that your unique contribution to the world, your bright and colorful dot, matters too.

"A complete course of Theology for the use of all Christians, where the art of prayer and meditation is taught theoretically and practically." - Fr. Camilo María Abad Puente S.J. (1878-1969)Venerable Father Louis de Ponte, S.J. lived to be one of the most esteemed ascetical writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. He was born in Valladolid Spain, on 1554. He died a holy death in the same city on the 16th of February 1624, having completed his seventieth year. His cause of beatification was introduced in 1667; all his writings pontifically approved in 1714; and his virtues declared heroic in 1759 by Clement XIII. He spent a great part of his priestly life exclusively devoted to the spiritual formation of younger Jesuits, either as master of novices or as spiritual father. Through his personal experience of labouring in the lord's vineyard, he learned how to direct souls. Leading them in prayer and showing them how to seek God.His first work which issued from his pen was the book of "Meditations" on the principal mysteries of our holy faith, on the Life and Passion of our Lord, of His Blessed Mother, of the Divinity and Trinity etc. It was written in Spanish, and printed in the year 1605. Within one year after its first appearance, it passed through three editions, and was translated into seven languages.It is in truth an immortal work, in which the reader scarcely knows which to admire most, either the extensive learning, or the order of arrangement, or the multiplicity and correctness of the reflections, or the unction with which the mysteries are unfolded. It cannot be read without feeling the will excited to devotion, or without a desire to profit by it. In it he explains admirably the practice of prayer, at the same time furnishing ample materials for it. In it directors and confessors may find wherewith to instruct those committed to their charge. In it religious of every order may find celestial manna for the daily food of their devotion. In it, in fine, every person of every state may learn how to appreciate the eternal truths, and the mysteries of our holy faith, and also how to live well, if they will frequently read and meditate upon them. Emperor Ferdinand II declared that this book had been most useful to him, and knew it almost by heart.

You hold in your hand a unique treasure. There are thousands of spiritual teachers, but true Zen masters-those who can transmit, who can midwife a student to awakening-are rare. Some may write books or essays, but their real work is done individually with students in person. Alfred Pulyan (1896-1966) was one of those rare Zen masters who can transmit, but his method of transmission came not through personal contact, but rather through an exchange of letters with his students. He worked primarily by mail and had notable success triggering enlightenment in serious students through the power and rapport of his letters. A fortunate side-effect of his method is that it is written down, and thus potentially available to others-providing one can find any of his letters. Those collected here are from a correspondence with Richard Rose in 1960 and 1961 and provide an invaluable look under the covers as a Zen master goes about his thankless work. Rose was already awake when he heard about Pulyan's ability, having had a definitive spiritual experience in 1947 at age thirty. He contacted Pulyan for the purpose of learning how to transmit what he'd become, pretending to be a seeker while continually pressing Pulyan to reveal method. At times in these letters Pulyan seems to be onto him, but with unbelievable patience and incredible mastery he works to crack Rose's nut and at the same time tells him what he's doing and how and why he's doing it. Pulyan wrote his letters in longhand, with extensive margin notes. For this book, I have edited them to include those notes in the main text, and made other minor edits to help the letters read more smoothly. Rose's letters are not included in this book, except for his initial inquiry that kicks things off. Not much is known about Pulyan's life, and in fact he's somewhat of an enigma. Much of what is known he tells us himself in these letters. Conflicting reports have him being born either in New York or London, but at any rate he turned up in New York City sometime after World War I and lived most of his life there. He is of an age where he might have served in the war, but no record of it exists. From these letters we know he studied mathematics and worked as an accountant, office manager, and executive. In the late 1950's he and his wife Madeline bought 12 acres in rural Connecticut where they and some friends settled in. One of these friends was the young woman who was Pulyan's teacher and who was responsible for his realization. (He'll tell you the story in one of these letters.)Pulyan's only known published writings are articles in The Aberree, a journal in circulation from 1954 through 1965. The best known of these, "The Penny That Blots Out the Sun," is included at the end of this book.
