More wisdom from Fr. John Nepil

 
 
 

The first task of the Christian in the postmodern age is to get people looking at the stars. By turning off the screens and looking upward, we have to begin asking the question again of how this corresponds to the desires of our hearts. Only then will we be reawakened to the experience of being truly human.

—Fr. John Nepil

from his book, To Heights and unto Depths

THEOLOGICAL GUIDEBOOK

Spanning nearly 500 miles across the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado Trail is an epic, arduous route through some of America’s most breathtaking natural grandeur. In the summer of 2022, Fr. John Nepil, priest-theologian and mountaineer, set out to traverse the entire trail as a “thru-hike” with a trio of companions, accompanied along the way by an eclectic rotating cast of priests and young people. This memoir, which is simultaneously a theological reflection on life, Christianity, and the mountains themselves, is the fruit of that pilgrimage.
