Description
Reflections by a well-known figure of the Catholic Church on faith and maturation on the Christian spiritual path. Christian faith is not something predetermined or trivial. It is a journey of listening to God and a conscious decision. Faith is accompanied by doubts, confusion, mistakes, and fragility. Faith is also the courage to take a step into the unknown and to take risks. Cardinal Martini points to the Apostle Peter, illustrating how powerful and yet fragile faith can be. Like Peter, we follow and love Jesus – and just like him, we often feel lost, are crushed, or struggle with the 'atheist within us.' The strength of faith lies in its engagement of the whole person – our heart, mind, and spirit. This book, written in the form of biblical meditation for the purposes of spiritual exercises, is intended especially for those who lead others in the Church – priests, deacons, and other individuals involved in pastoral work – to continually remind themselves of the only source of their faith: Jesus Christ crucified and risen.
