So many of us struggle to deepen our spiritual lives and our walk with Christ. However, oftentimes, it just seems so difficult to overcome the myriad obstacles that can pop up out of nowhere.
Or we see the problems in the world, our nation and the Church, and we despair, thinking there is nothing we can do about.
To help with this quandary, Thomas Griffin, a religion teacher at a Long Island, New York, Catholic high school and Register contributor, has written the timely and useful Let Us Begin: St. Francis’s Way of Becoming Like Christ and Renewing the World (Our Sunday Visitor).
