He notes that the goal of this book is to accompany all those who have set their hearts on responding to God's love with a full, happy, fruitful life that will culminate in the eternal happiness of contemplating Him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten as a catechism of the spiritual life, this book is organized around the sacraments, prayer, asceticism, and the liturgy and infused with a single goal: to make us all aware that our Baptism is the beginning of a great conversion - the great return to the Father.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCardinal Sarah invites you to journey with him through the Gospels and discover the origin and meaning of each of the sacraments and how they are essential to helping you grow in your personal relationship with Jesus, foster your contemplative life, and flourish in communion with the Holy Trinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will learn about the mysteries of our Faith - from the importance of being baptized shortly after birth, and thereby plunged into the paschal mystery, to receiving Confirmation as a child so as to be open to the liberating action of the Holy Spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will also learn about how the baptized are to prepare for \u003ci\u003espiritual priesthood\u003c\/i\u003e - through docility and offering to God all the love, works, joys, prayers, and sufferings of their lives. In like manner, Cardinal Sarah explains how to renew the ordained priesthood, married life, and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn chapter after chapter, the cardinal provides wise counsel regarding: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow loss of faith in the Real Presence causes a decline in Christian communities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur need to restore the sacredness of the liturgy and silent Eucharistic adoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe power of the Holy Spirit at work through the sacraments of the Church\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dangers of revisionist doctrines on morality based on sociology and science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy laws prohibiting our freedom of worship are more deadly than any virus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy the sacrament of Penance is essential for the daily spiritual combat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will marvel at how the Old Covenant is fulfilled in the New and how we are called to the marriage banquet of the Lamb.

No government, no ecclesiastical authority can legitimately forbid the celebration of the Eucharist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCardinal Sarah reminds us that from the earliest centuries, Christians were willing to die in order to receive our Lord and celebrate the sacred mysteries and that God is always with us in His Sacrament of Love, waiting for us to receive Him with affection and dwell in His Presence. The sacraments, Cardinal Sarah makes clear, provide our itinerary to Heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49853057073425,"sku":"CIN168278293XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50192553705745,"sku":"CIN168278293XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50989406191889,"sku":"NIN9781682782934","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51797458616593,"sku":"GOR013422467","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/168278293X.jpg?v=1751025531"},{"product_id":"for-eternity-book-robert-cardinal-sarah-9781682782910","title":"For Eternity","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"We have to look at the truth head-on: the priesthood seems to be failing,\" explains Cardinal Robert Sarah in this book. \"The priesthood, its status, its mission, and its authority have been placed at the service of the worst crimes. . . The search for worldly glory, power, honors, earthly pleasures, and money has infiltrated the hearts of priests, bishops, and cardinals. How can we tolerate such deeds without trembling, without weeping, without asking ourselves probing questions?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the arid desert of Western society, where man believes he is happier without God, Cardinal Sarah invites priests to become ever more clearly the signs of the presence of God in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollected here are the writings of the greatest saints to help priests rediscover the essence of their priesthood so the people of God can renew their gaze upon them.

Instead, priests must allow themselves to be transformed, renewed, governed, and divinized by it. It is through a priest's gospel-filled life and testimony that he will restore God to His place in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book is an invitation to sit at the feet of Jesus, our High Priest,\" Cardinal Sarah explains, \"to allow ourselves to be renewed in our priesthood. At His feet and following in His footsteps, we learn to be priests, to let ourselves be formed in His image and likeness, and to enter fully into the Christian mysteries that we celebrate with faith.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50925701464337,"sku":"CIN1682782913VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50989406126353,"sku":"NIN9781682782910","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1682782913.jpg?v=1751121172"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-robert-cardinal-sarah.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
