German
Cardinal Gerhard Müller is a voice contemporary Catholic priests
need to hear. You
Shall Be a Blessing is
an affirmation of priestly life and ministry presented in twelve
letters. Müller offers personal encouragement through finely honed
theological and spiritual insight on the meaning, history, and
importance of the priesthood to today’s Catholic Church.
Vocational
identity is an enduring concern among Catholic priests, bishops,
teachers, and many lay Catholics around the world, particularly
because of the challenges wrought by a changing Church and rapidly
shifting culture. The struggle to navigate the personal and
sacramental meanings of a priest’s place in the Church is made more
difficult by the disheartening loss of the Church’s credibility in
recent years and by seismic shifts away from the practice of religion
by believers across the western world. Yet most priests continue to
serve and lead the people in their care with great compassion,
conviction, and desire to serve.
In
You
