We Are All Called [Paperback]

Book excerpt: We Are All Called is the culmination of a series of life experiences for Father J. Thomas Heron, 40 years a priest. When Fr. Heron was just four years old, his dad died of heart failure. This impactful life event forced Fr. Heron to mature at a young age, but also led him to ask many important questions. Had it not been for the vital spiritual and vocational mentors in his life, he may have never learned how to cope with tragedy and death - which he has now seen many times over - with grace and goodness. Fr. Heron believes in e.e. cummings' mantra, "we cannot be born enough" - that we all experience many births in life, and that we are all called by the Blessed Trinity to realize our places in salvation history, while carrying out our personal destinies. He is hopeful you will shed tears of joy and tears of empathy as you read his collection of stories, and ultimately realize many truths in your own life.
