Description
Here is pleasant, racy reading that presents daring and progressive proposals. In our times of change and confusion, if consecrated life has to arrive at a new awakening, it is necessary to understand the basic values of religious life anew. In this materialistic world, God still calls and leads human beings to holiness. In what the world considers the desert land of renunciation and suffering, the Lord of love embraces them, and they rejoice in Him. The first part of this book is a synthetic presentation of the three evangelical counsels in the light of spiritual theology and religious life, highlighting the beauty and excellence of these virtues. The author explains the ideal in a simple, easy, convincing and persuasive manner on the basis of Sacred Scripture. The second part deals with trends, challenges and opportunities that the religious face today, and serves as a wake-up call to all of us, especially the religious, so that we may understand our mission in the current situation and respond to it fruitfully. This book will surely enlighten and inspire every reader both from the laity and from the religious, and lead them to a deeper understanding and appreciation of consecrated life; it will provide the religious with inspiration and motivation to a meaningful and fruitful renewal of life.
