Conformed to Christ Crucified. 3: Further Meditations on Priestly Life and Ministry

"It is impossible for the priest or the laity to read Conformed to Christ Crucified and not be renewed in awe for the miracle that is the Catholic Priesthood." From the Foreword by Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann, Archbishop of Kansas City in Kansas
"This is ideal spiritual reading for priests in our time, and Father Carola is the ideal guide. He makes himself transparent to the great saints of the tradition, allowing their wisdom to shine through and transform yet another generation. But his is the art that arranges so many beautiful fragments into a still more beautiful mosaic. He shows us that the saints, so compelling alone, are far more compelling in communion." Scott Hahn, Ph.D., The Father Michael Scanlan, T.O.R., Chair of Biblical Theology and the New Evangelization at Franciscan University of Steubenville, and the founder and president of the Saint Paul Center for Biblical Theology.
"Father Joseph Carola's long and distinguished service to the Church in the formation of priests, as well as his own ministry as a priest, have given him many great insights into priestly life which he generously shares in the work. The learned reflections contained in Conformed to Christ Crucified are always connected to pastoral applications that are sure to benefit any priest or seminarian who reads this book. Amid the trials of life we must always remember that Jesus is present, and Father Carola demonstrates this hopeful reality in countless ways throughout these pointed meditations." Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York
