Additional Info
These pages are for those who seek to realize the potential of their Baptism. This demands the centrifugal movement of lives, but its authenticity is not simply measured by geography. The movement is explicitly to the other (ethnically, religiously, economically or otherwise disadvantaged or exploited: the poor), and it serves to proclaim, explicitly or implicitly, by word or witness, the Good New of Jesus Christ and the pomise of the Realm of God. As Gustavo Gutierrez once said provocatively, the aim of mission is ” to convince the poor that God loves them.”

Whens God Gonna Show Up
$9.99Add to cartThis delightful book is written to entertain and inspire the faithful to see Jesus Christ in their everyday lives. When’s God Gonna Show Up? is a question asked by a four-year-old to his mother when their family was in church for Eucharistic Adoration. His mother is the author of this joyous book, and she writes of understanding God’s incredible love for us by trying to understand the information God has given to us.
When’s God Gonna Show Up? reinforces the fact that as children of God, we’ll spend our lives finding the path God has chosen for us and hearing God’s voice in silence and also in the voices of strangers and loved ones. This book of loving, heart-warming short stories is organized by liturgical season and cites related Scripture passages and includes questions for personal reflection or group discussion.
