All I have is You


Book Description

No one is a pond of stagnant water. If that were the case, we’d dry out and any life inside of us would die. To thrive, we must be like the running water of a river, which mingles with others and promotes life. All I Have is You is about how we are all rooted together. Each one of us plays a vital role in the lives of those who surround us. From womb to tomb, we must help each other. The first part of this book highlights the negative, highlighting how it is human nature to be envious of the physical features, talents, and possessions of others. The second part of the book explores the importance each one of us plays in the lives of those around us. Each chapter includes a poem that delves deeper into the human condition. The author also explores the concept of self-realization, which is the starting point of inner happiness. When a person identifies his or her strengths, it shows in their level of contentment. “This is a thought-provoking work that invites reflection as well as discussion.” — Rev. Silvestre D’Souza, OCD, provincial superior




Everything I Have Is Yours


Book Description

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2021 • From New York Times bestselling author Eleanor Henderson comes a turbulent love story meets harrowing medical mystery: the true story of the author’s twenty-year marriage defined by her husband’s chronic illness—and a testament to the endurance of love Eleanor met Aaron when she was just a teenager and he was working at a local record stored—older, experienced, and irresistibly charming. Escaping the clichés of fleeting young love, their summer romance bloomed into a relationship that survived college and culminated in a marriage and two children. From the outside looking in, their life had all the trappings of what most would consider a success story. But, as in any marriage, things weren’t always as they seemed. On top of the typical stresses of parenting, money, and work, there were the untended wounds of depression, addiction, and childhood trauma. And then one day, out of nowhere: a rash appeared on Aaron’s arms. Soon, it had morphed into painful lesions covering his body. Eleanor was as baffled as the doctors. There was no obvious diagnosis, let alone a cure. And as years passed and the lesions gave way to Aaron’s increasingly disturbed concerns about the source of his sickness, the husband she loved seemed to unravel before her eyes. A new fissure ruptured in their marriage, and new questions piled onto old ones: Where does physical illness end and mental illness begin? Where does one person end and another begin? And how do we exist alongside someone else’s suffering? Emotional, intimate, and at times agonizing, Everything I Have Is Yours tells the story of a marriage tested by powerful forces outside both partners’ control. It’s not only a memoir of a wife’s tireless quest to heal her husband, but also one that asks just what it means to accept someone as they are.

All I Have Is I


Book Description

While humanity has been greatly blessed, there are times when we act as if we are entirely ruled by impulse. We fall short in the discretion of gravity of the bond between the self and the worldly entities. Though being primarily cognitive organisms, in times of panic, dread, and anxiety—such as the COVID-19 pandemic—we become irrational and function only according to instinct. Musing on these events inspired author Cannio Cardozo to record his thoughts and reflections on humankind’s recent actions. All I Have Is I presents an introspection of life, filled with striking examples from daily life, relevant parables, and summarizing poems at the end of each chapter. Part 1 deals with “I” in relation to worldly entities and the power of self-worth, while part 2 considers the obsession one has with the self, which results in the breakdown of relationships due to arrogance. When all is said and done, divine intervention plays a vital role in the transformation of the individual. “It is a book worth reading and reflecting upon because of its investigation and exploration of the world that is wrapped within each self.” — Rev. Dr. Pius James D’Souza, OCD, provincial superior “This work contains a beautiful insightful perception of the ‘self’ commonly perceived as the ‘I’ and its multifarious interaction with worldly entities.” — Rev. Jerald D’Souza, OCD, provincial delegate
