Following in the Footsteps of Jesus: Meditations on the Gospels for Year C
Overview
This personal meditation on the words of Jesus transforms us—more than all the explanations, sermons, and exhortations we read elsewhere, which reach us from the outside. People change from within. Jesus’s words reach within us to transform us unlike any other force. Perhaps this is one of the most serious problems of our religion: too frequently it is not the vital sap of Jesus that passes through our hearts.
The life of the church would be transformed if believers, Christian couples, priests, religious, bishops and educators would make the Gospels their bedside book. This publication offers a guide for reading Sunday Gospels and meditating homilies every week for the liturgical cycle C.

“Jesus is not afraid of having at his side a disciple who is a sinner. On the contrary, if he knows himself to be a sinner, Peter will be able to better understand his message of forgiveness for all, and his welcome to sinners and undesirable people.” (Page 92)
“You cannot find ways to spread the kingdom while remaining tied to the past. Working in the project of the Father takes total commitment, trust in a future that is in God’s hands, and courage to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.” (Pages 109–110)
“One day you will no longer be crushed, oppressed or tempted to discouragement. Jesus Christ is your liberator.” (Page 26)
