Description
At last, a book on Catholic faith that is grounded not only in Scripture and tradition, but in the joy and pain of being human. Richard Malloy shows how understanding these ten basic principles enables us to live in the world with love and assurance. With a great deal of humour and drawing on stories and anecdotes from his personal life and ministerial experiences, Malloy, a Jesuit priest like Pope Francis, makes clear the case that the universe is user friendly and that life is worth living. These basics include God, Jesus, community, justice, the sacraments, mission, the universe and everything. In knowing these basics we come to know that “we live and move and have our being in God” and the “God is love.” We are literally in love.
