Welcome to the adventure!

When I was growing up, the idea that being Catholic was an adventure was the farthest thing from my mind. You just were . And, pretty much, memorizing some definitions and what rules you had to keep in order to be saved completed the picture.

Then why would I entitle these challenging reflections to aid our life’s journey: FREE AND HOLY WHERE YOU ARE? Perhaps because many Catholics don’t feel freed by the rules , and don’t feel they will ever be truly holy . Only for priests, sisters, or monks could where you are possibly promote holiness! Yet the Daily Life of a Catholic is exactly where we always are with Jesus as our friend and confidant, and members of his Body, the Church. Be prepared to choose a hundred thoughts or phrases you’ll want to remember for the rest of your life.

If you are one of those people who, like me, understand Roman Catholic tradition as a solid foundation meant to encourage, not discourage, intelligent critical moral thought, then this is the book for you. It will make you excited (again) to be a Roman Catholic believer.
