Wisdom from Fr. Donald Haggerty

 
 
 

If respect for traditional morality splinters with the disappearance of God from the thoughts of men, it is equally true that belief in God collapses with the rejection of traditional moral constraints. Moral systems that in effect require the absence of a final judgment before God urge the expulsion of God from the exercise of conscience. Our own time is indicted on both counts.

—Fr. Donald Haggerty

from his book, The Hour of Testing: Spiritual Depth and Insight in a Time of Ecclesial Uncertainty

UNITY IN SUFFERING

In every century of Christianity, lives of serious discipleship have been lived in response to—not in isolation from—the state of the Church and the world. The inherent link between history and Catholic spirituality, between holiness and the dark forces at work in a given era, is as real and pertinent today as ever. In this powerful work that may very well prove prophetic, renowned spiritual writer Fr. Donald Haggerty plumbs the depths of this connection, offering a profound reflection on the signs of the times, both inside and outside the Church, and unfolding their implications for believers today.
