Essentials of Religious Life

Essentials Of Religious Life Today

by Fr. Peter Stravinskas

"Through his excellent articles on the faith in The National Catholic Register, Father Peter Stravinskas has done a great service for many confused Catholics who have difficulty sorting out the real truth, as taught by the Chutch, from the growing bulk of theological opinions that are frequently presented as Church doctrine. His forthright presentation of the Church's teaching on basic Catholic issues has been welcomed eagerly by a steadily growing readership, both lay and religious.

In view of his simple clear style, expressed in language that invites profound thought and understanding, it is a pleasure to introduce Father's practical conferences on religious life. These have been compiled from a retreat given to women religious and are now being made available to everyone. They are rich in material for reflection and prayer, and serve both as spiritual reading as well as food for meditation."
