A Vision of Pastoral Ministry

How can you come to understand pastoral ministry in a deeper, more mystical way? How can you come to know God and yourself in such a way that your ministry to the other will lead you to a deeper communion between yourself and God? A Vision of Pastoral Ministry answers these questions, beginning with two themes: God is encountered personally—as the Superabundance of Love and as Being-in-Communion—and we are made in the image and likeness of God. If God is the Superabundance of Love and we are made in God’s image, then we are called to address those desires within us that demand we seek the other in a spirit of love and communion just as our God seeks us.

Complete with questions for reflection, personal stories, Scripture and poetry, Richard Gaillardetz will challenge you to walk the path of spiritual transformation and open your eyes to A Vision of Pastoral Ministry.
