Opis

Who is the source of the peace that comes from having an open heart? This true story that inspired the 2007 novel Climbing the Mountain Barefoot With Jesus encapsulates an abiding love for Christ and His Apostolic Church. It highlights joy in charity and suffering, when our Lord undeniably reveals Himself through prayer, adoration, the seven Sacraments, the Mass; and within clergy, religious, and a multitude of loved ones who help increase our faith. Revolving around family life and the essence of stewardship is the very heart of the story: our indisputable belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist; taught by the pastor, Father Alex, within the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) classroom of Our Mother of Sorrows Church. Its intention is to testify to an audience of the faithful with intestinal fortitude and to non-religious alike seeking to know the Truth; and most specifically, to draw fallen-away Catholics home to the Catholic Church. Within the text are Scripture verses transcribed verbatim from the Holy Bible; not watered down, nor paraphrased. May each dearly loved reader who is willing to dissect and digest this narrative discern God's call to do whatever He tells us...Rev. Edwin Metzger, priest of the Diocese of Rochester, wrote, "I found (Peace from an Open Heart) to be profoundly personal and I admire (her) remarkable memory. Sincere thanks for sharing it with me...". Rev. Paul Tomasso wrote, "I was very moved reading it, especially by the love of family on every page. (Peace from an Open Heart) is a beautiful book and witness to God's grace."
