The willingness to be a fool for Christ and speak Catholic moral truths that may cause discomfort and resentment is not a negotiable matter in the job description of a faithful priest; today, of course, it may pay rather meagerly in spiritual currency.

—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.
