The Way of the Disciple

The Way of the Disciple explores six Gospel scenes in-depth to discover essential elements of Christian discipleship. Author Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis describes the basic requirements for receiving the Word of God effectively in our hearts and contemplates the vital position of the Mother of our Lord in the life of his disciples. Leiva-Merikakis shows that the call to discipleship is above all an invitation to intimate companionship with Jesus, and that the “active apostolate” is the fruit of a life of prayer and adoration. This is the heart of a disciple’s life, which can never be swept up by mere activism.
