FEATURED BOOK
Beloved Lover
In the context of the mystical love poetry of the Song of Songs, Beloved Lover explores how the priest is the living image of Jesus Christ, the Spouse of the Church. The priest is empowered to love others with an ardor that is fresh, magnanimous, and vibrant because his life emanates this spousal nature as an example of Christ’s spousal love.
While a great read for priests and seminarians, lay men and women can gain insight into the life and spirituality of the priest and be inspired to live their own priesthood of the faithful more fervently.
