Catholicism

When my last book about theology proved disappointing, a book friend sent me to this one. It was an excellent recommendation and I thank you. “...love is what God is: love is the divine life—and the entire purpose of spirituality is to get that life in us,” Robert Barron writes. “Love is not primarily a feeling...it is willing the good of the other as other.” The church is, Barron tells us, the mystical body of Christ, and “...shares in the very being, life, and energy of Christ.” It is “...that mystical body, in which people learn to see with the eyes of Christ and to walk the path that Christ walked.” Whew. This author takes me way, way, way into the depths.
