The Kingdom Of Christ Its Origin Its Triumph And Its End Etc A Sermon On 1 Cor Xv 24 28

The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

Excerpt from The Kingdom of Christ: Its Ultimate, Complete and Universal Triumph Over Evil, in the Subjection and Reconcillation of All Things to God The following sermons, with the exception of the eighteenth and nineteenth, were originally preached in St. Thomas's Church, Madras, and it is, in part, at the request of many who heard them that they are now published. The sermons are therefore printed almost word for word as they were preached, it being thought that by retaining the pulpit style of address and discussion they would be more acceptable in the reading to those who had been interested in hearing them. But although I have been induced, in the first instance, to publish these sermons by the request of members of my late congregation, still I confess that I am desirous of testifying more widely than could be done by any spoken discourses to the great truth, as I believe it to be, of the final universal triumph over evil of Christ's kingdom in the subjection and reconciliation of all things to God. There are very many, I am persuaded, among the clergy (not to speak of the laity) who have long since in their own hearts discarded the notion of endless torment, and have ceased to preach it, though they may not formally and publicly have declared their rejection of it. There are many too, I have reason to believe, whose minds are opening to the reception of the blessed doctrine of the Restitution of All Things.
