‘Faithfulness of Christ, Faithfulness of Priests’

I am happy to announce that with the grace of God and with the good will of great people, along with my friend Gabriel I have edited a book on priesthood. Faithfulness of Christ, Faithfulness of Priests a new book on priesthood is released in Kristu Jyoti College on the occasion of the inauguration of academic year. As the year for the priests is coming to a conclusion this book will be a fitting gift for all the priests. Many copies are already sold and very few copies are available at the publications.

‘The Year of the Priests’ has been received very well across the globe primarily because of its cutting relevance. This book titled ‘Faithfulness of Christ, Faithfulness of Priests’ is one such attempt to appreciate the priests and the would-be priests for their generous response to the invitation of Christ to participate in his operative mission of the Father. The books is divided into three various sections namely Metanoia (head), Koinonia (heart) and Praxis (hand) denoting respectively the intellectual, emotional and pastoral aspects of a priest. The book offers variety of topics which are chosen and entrusted to competent people. These articles will interest all the priests since they are short, simple and above all they do address contemporary issues. The book is edited by two students of Theology; Bro. David Maria Selvam SDB and Bro. Gabriel Karunaraj SDB
