Synopsis

Edith Prendergast, R.S.C., the longtime director of the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress (the nation's largest annual gathering of Catholics), stirs readers' enthusiasm and fires their imaginations with this inspiring set of reflections on faith and the call to serve one another in the Church and the world.

Edith Prendergast, R.S.C., issues a clarion call to both conversion and renewal, inviting readers to enter more deeply into the mind and heart of Christ and to live as his messengers in the Church and the world. In a world burdened by anxiety and fear, where human weakness and social sin tear at the fabric of every institution, Prendergast reminds her readers that each one has been given an amazing gift of faith and calls them to revitalize their commitment to others.

Prendergast's compelling spiritual vision is enriched by her skilled use of scripture, the saints and mystics, and contemporary writers and poets. She also draws from the little epiphanies of ordinary, everyday life - be they the words of a child or the insights of a homeless man. With a spirit of reverence and delight, each reflection harmonizes a host of voices that both inspire and energize her readers.
