"This book is a call to action.
Each of us, baptized in Christ, has a mission to bring others into the loving fold of the Church. Stephen Gabriel challenges us to take this call seriously. To bravely be Christ's modern apostles. To spread the Gospel through our intentional actions and words.
He draws on the teachings of the Catholic Church, the guidance of the saints, and deeply personal anecdotes of our contemporaries who have made an impact on the lives of others and who give us concrete examples of how we can make evangelization a daily practice. He reminds us that our union with Christ through prayer and the sacraments is the essential fuel to our apostolic fervor.
This book has been praised as a “highly recommended” “must-read” that brings “great clarity and urgency” to lay apostolic endeavors through “inspiring and beautifully told personal stories.'"
"It often happens that a call to holiness and devotion to Christ touches the heart amidst immense suffering. A young girl named Guadalupe experienced such a call while living through the trials of her family and country as a result of the Spanish Civil War.
Guadalupe Ortiz, the first woman of Opus Dei to be beatified, had a style of sanctity that attracted others. She was known as determined, joyful, and a source of peaceful strength. As one of the earliest woman members of Opus Dei, she took seriously her calling to bring the love of Christ to her work and her daily life.
Her relatability is what makes her remarkable. As an individual often faced with challenges, a dedicated scientist and teacher, and a devoted friend and daughter, we can all identify with the stories and themes that make up her beautiful life."
