In this series of retreat meditations preached to Pope John Paul II and the papal household during a Lenten retreat, Cardinal Christoph Schonborn uses the Catechism of the Catholic Church (of which he was the general editor) and Sacred Scripture to lead us to a deeper union with Christ by helping us to understand and love the Church, His bride. To love the Church, which the Catechism calls "a living communion with Jesus Christ," we must see her with the eyes of Jesus, who "loved the Church and gave Himself up for her."
As he draws us into a deeper understanding of the Church, who she is and...

God created man in his own image, and the profound implications of this assertion are the subject of this book. Drawing on philosophy, theology, science, Scripture and art, Cardinal Schonborn reflects on man as the greatest of God's creatures and on the Christian understanding of his incomparable dignity that flows from this truth.

Znamená morálka jen příkazy a zákazy? A co život v plnosti, k němuž nás zve Ježíš Kristus? Knížečka vznikla jako úvod k třetí části Katechismu katolické církve, nazvané příznačně „Život v Kristu“.
