Habits of a Priestly Heart
By Rev. Eugene Hemrick
From one of today's most remarkable priests, who has
devoted a great deal of his life to research and writings concerning the life of
priests, comes this inspiring new book. Habits of a Priestly Heart is designed
to help today's priests better understand, accept, and live with the new and
sometimes overwhelming challenges of the third millennium. Insights are given
through Fr. Hemrick's experiences with the priests he has encountered throughout
his own spiritual journey. These priests display a "priestly heart" that is
alive and well, while demonstrating habits that have brought them to a healthy
and joy-filled life centered in Christ.
Topics include:
- Resisting the temptation that once a priest is ordained he is defined
- Growing in kindness and holding at bay anything that threatens it
- Keeping the contemplative edge sharp
- Embracing ongoing education and physical fitness
- Creating a new synergism of domestic and international priests, deacons, and the laity.
Hemrick's practical wisdom will enrich the lives
of all priests and help others to better understand this truly remarkable
vocation.
