Description

In the opening words of his first encyclical, Deus caritas est, Pope Benedict XVI pointed to St John's words 'God is love' as 'the heart of the Christian faith'. Many people responded to the clarity of that focus, recognising in it the core of Christ's message. We in Ireland are experiencing a deep crisis, in Church, in State, in many institutions. People feel swamped and disillusioned. The reflections in Let Love Speak seek to look at a number of aspects of a changing Ireland in the light of the central truth about god who is love and whose Word took flesh and lived among us. The heart of the Christian faith is Good News. It is what Pope Benedict XVI described as the great hope which surpasses everything else. That great unlimited hope, which alone can satisfy us, can only be god. Recognising that fundamental truth, bishop Donal Murray believes, is where renewal begins. Book jacket.
