Consumed: Nature and Movements of a Heart on Fire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798247893547)

You were made for God. Through Baptism you were drawn into His very life: reborn by water and the Spirit, made a new creation in Christ. This is not a pious idea but the deepest reality: you have been set apart, marked with the seal of the Holy Spirit, destined to become like God Himself.

This book is a call to live that reality with awe, gratitude, and holy urgency. It explores the truth of our sanctification: from the mystery of the Trinity to the burning heart of the Eucharist, from the dangers of sin to the joy of perfection. Along the way, it draws on Scripture, the Catechism, and the witness of the saints to show that holiness is not an option but a necessity and a gift waiting to be received.

You will be challenged to cast off the "old man," to resist presumption and sin, to fight with the armor of God, and to embrace a life of prayer and sacrament. You will see how sanctification is not merely covering over our faults, but transforming us from within, until love and truth govern every step.

You were not made for mediocrity. You were made to be a living flame of love in the world.
