Still Called by Name: Why I Love Being a Priest de Dominic Grassi

Still Called by Name: Why I Love Being a Priest

Autor Dominic Grassi
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 aug 2003
People often ask Dominic Grassi the question "Why are you a priest? "Even unasked, it hangs in the air throughout his busy days as a pastor of a large Chicago parish. Sometimes, he ask it of himself.The answer unfolds in the stories he tells in this book--vivid tales of the way the youngest son of a North Side Chicago grocer has been privileged to witness the workings of God's grace and love in the lives of the people he serves.In each of these tales, Fr. Grassi paints a candid portrait of the joys and difficulties of priestly life. But, as he explains, the joys always outweigh the heartache. "I am just an ordinary person who still finds incredible joy, profound awe, silencing mystery, and overwhelming peace as a priest," he writes. These too-uncommon qualities--joy, awe, mystery, and peace--are abundant in his stories. They are the convincing answers to the question "Why are you a priest?" They are the reasons why Catholics can rejoice that God still calls men like Dominic Grassi by name.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"According fo Dom, God is as likely to enter a person's life by chance as through meditation. It is that openness to God's presence according to God's terms that motivates this terrific priest. I am sure that's why so many peole find him to be an amazing pastor and spiritual guide."--The Most Reverend Wilton D. Gregory, bishop of Belleville

Sometimes, at the end of the weekend, I'll lock the church doors and then sit in that quiet, sacred space that I have grown to love...The church is profoundly quiet at those moments. Yet I feel what can only be described as a palpable energy in the air. I think of this energy as all the prayers--silent, spoken, sung, sobbed--that have been offered by so many people over the weekend and that have yet to dissipate. I sit there and let it all swirl around me until finally I am able to quiet myself, just as the church has quieted itself. At that moment, I seem to hear al almost inaudible sigh escaping in thanksgiving to the heavens. ---Fr. Dominic Grassi
