Catholic Lives - Grant, James

. .

Résumé :
In the Catholic faith God calls each one of us to do something for him. We are all called to fulfill a purpose and a task in our lives. Many Australians no longer consider or reflect on these 'vocational' questions. Yet in a world of personal chaos, disruption and breakdown they remain a central component of making a life, particularly one directed at the service of others. Fulfilling her calling with honour, integrity and gratefulness is what Dolores Julie Foti-Grant undertook in her life. She did this in a quiet, gracious and grateful way. Her understanding of how to live a good life was utterly unique. This book cannot tell you about your vocation but it may help you to see a gracious and generous method of fulfilling it. Part of a series, Catholic Lives, that honours, ordinary Catholics with their extraordinary lives.
