Riassunto

At this critical time of despair, divisiveness, systemic oppression, wealth disparity and poverty, global pandemic, climate crisis, and looming nuclear annihilation, readers searching for Jesus amidst these crises will (re)discover a loving, welcoming, compassionate, nonviolent God who wants us and our world healed. This book helps discern and employ those healing actions. Firmly rooted in the Ignatian spiritual practices of imaginative immersion into Jesus, Philip applies his professional teaching and learning perspectives to his late Jesuit brother's profound and inspiring scriptural meditations to provide a variety of effective, practical ways to develop a deeper, more engaging, and unifying discipleship. Readers are urged to consider the kingdom as Jesus reveals it, and to heed Pope Francis' revolutionary call to ""make active nonviolence our way of life."" Clergy and lay people will more deeply appreciate the essential ways in which Jesus' words and actions counter our kingdoms' ubiquitous employment of divisiveness, hatred, vengeance, and violence. Our book helps people act with greater certainty in creatively applying effective solutions to today's pressing problems, based upon Jesus' modeling of loving care and service to all people and creation.
