Living the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Vol. 1 The Creed
A Brief Commentary On The Catechism For Every Week Of The Year
Item Number: 386
Bishop Christoph Schönborn
Bishop Schönborn, the editor of the monumental Catechism of the Catholic Church, a world-wide best seller, provides a brief and profound commentary on the first part of the Catechism, the Creed. Schönborn gives an incisive, detailed analysis of the Creed, providing a specific meditation for each week of the year on how to better live the Catholic faith as expressed in the Creed and explained in the Catechism. Through these 52 meditations, Schönborn's hope is for the reader to not just have a better grasp of Catholic doctrine and belief, but especially to grow in a greater love of and devotion to the person of Jesus Christ.
"Faith is whole. It has only one heart, one center: Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. Christ must therefore also be the center of catechesis whose object is 'putting people...in communion...with Jesus Christ: only he can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity' (CCC 426), for 'in him are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge' (Col 2:3). In a certain sense, the 'essential elements of the faith' have their origin in a treasury of the heart of Jesus."
-Bishop Christoph Schönborn
"A masterpiece of thoughtfulness and clarity in explaining the way of Jesus. Schönborn teaches what Jesus taught about God and the way to Heaven. An outstanding book."
-Fr. Rawley Myers, Author, Daily Readings in Catholic Classics
