Christians, Father Farrell shows, have a tendency to hide from the God of love. But the new spirit of evangelization and reconciliation in the Church today can bring us closer to God to each other by putting prayer in our life and prayer in our work. Father Farrell gives special attention to the Church, to celibacy, and to questions of the priesthood. But his treatment of these subjects highlight the role of the laity too, showing how we are all one in Christ. The work is accompanied by the apostolic letters Father Farrell's readers have come to enjoy - one from South America and one from Rome, where he attened the opening of the Holy Year.
