Excerpt from The Revelation of Christ to His Servants of Things That Are, and Things That Shall Be: Brief Notes in Interpretation Yet there is need of a counter-check here too; for how much frequently goes under the name of service which is in truth even disobedience and self-will How much there is also of legal drudgery and pretentious claim, which the light of God's holy presence will shrivel into nothing Lo, these many years do I serve thee is the language of one to whom the music of the father's house was a strange and unaccustomed sound; and I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I pos sess was said by one less acceptable to God by far than the despised publican, who could only groan out in His presence, God be merciful to me the sinner About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
