The Urging of Christ's Love: the Saints and the Social Teaching of the Catholic Omar F. A. Gutierrez

In The Urging of Christ?s Love Omar Gutiérrez tells the stories of eleven people who lived their lives in pursuit of Christ Jesus. Each Saint, Blessed or Servant of God is considered in the context of Catholic Social Teaching. Then at the end of each chapter a prayer is offered and quotes from the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church are provided in order to link the lessons we can learn from the saint?s life to Church teaching. By discovering some new saint friends, and rediscovering some old ones, The Urging of Christ?s Love presents Catholic Social Teaching in an accessible and important way.
