Living the Gospel as a Way of Life

Today's secular media tends to label Catholic culture as a throwback, an anachronism in the modern world, out of step and out of touch. Whether you are single or married, with children or without, consecrated or laity, new to the faith or a long-time parishioner, Living the Gospel as a Way of Life will show you how building a Catholic culture is both possible and relevant for today. This marvelous, timely book provides practical wisdom for those who yearn to build or rebuild a Catholic, Christian culture in their homes, religious orders, or parishes. Living the Gospel as a Way of Life leads one to reflect seriously on the very personal call to live as a disciple of Jesus and to do so within a relationship with others. At the heart of this book is the positive challenge to live the Gospel as a way of life. We are called to reflect on the question, what is the proper orientation of a person's life if we are focused rightly on loving God first, by living in relationship with others? While honestly facing the truth that life takes a toll on all of us, when we have learned in a positive way to live a "repentant life," we walk in the footsteps of Moses, the Prophets, John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. In this book you will find helpful principles for developing a spiritual culture in your home and wherever you find yourself, whether with one person or within the context of community life
