Unknown Centurion: The Rise of the Centurion, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The world is at war for souls. Families are under siege. Truth itself is wounded and in retreat. It's time to get off the sidelines, suit up, and enter the fray.

In Rise of the Centurion: The Unfolding of a Mystical Masculine Theology, you'll discover what it means to fight the good fight as a member of the Church Militant -- soldiers of Christ forged in discipline, courage, and faith. Centurions in Scripture were more than mere soldiers; they were models of faith, humility, and spiritual strength and among the first to recognize Christ as Lord. Their story is now our story.

Drawing from Scripture, the Church Fathers, and the writings of the saints, this book reveals the mystical theology of the centurions -- warriors who teach us how to worship, sacrifice, and defend the Faith, extending the order of God to the chaos of the world.

You will meet the Roman officer whose humble prayer we echo at every Mass: "Lord, I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof ..." (Matt. 8: 8).

You will stand with Longinus at the foot of the Cross, as blood and water pour from the side of Christ, with eyes that suddenly see and a heart freshly healed -- an image of the mercy and grace that flow to us through the sacraments still.

Through the witness of these warriors you will learn to:

• Contemplate and internalize the profound mysteries of the piercing of the Sacred Heart
• Show courage in defending the Church, her sacraments, and her truth
• Surrender to the Cross in trustful obedience to God's will
• Worship the Holy Eucharist in deep contemplation of the wounds of Christ
• Cultivate humility and open your heart to divine mercy
• Reject the idols of the world and live fully for what is eternal
• Pray, sacrifice, and perform acts of reparation for those in need of salvation
• Go the distance, as ambassadors of God's limitless mercy to a broken world

This is not merely a book -- it's a call to arms for every Catholic seeking to live with honor, faith, courage, and zeal. Step into the ranks of the centurions. Put your faith into action. And take your place among the indomitable defenders of the Kingdom of God, conceived from the Sacred Heart of Christ.
