A Letter from our President Sacred scripture offers a rich treasure of inspiration for daily life. That is why RENEW International continues to bring new resources to parishes worldwide that encourage and enable Catholics to view their lives through a scriptural lens. With this perspective, they can more fully align their actions with the gospel values of mercy, charity, and justice.

The RENEW Scripture Series continues with Matthew: Come, Follow Me. Scripture scholar Martin Lang again brings his insights into this, the first Gospel, making connections to the Old Testament while showing how relevant Matthew is for today’s world.

One of our main goals at RENEW is to help people connect their faith to their everyday lives, and a challenging place to do that is in the workplace.

Our newest resource Balancing Faith and Life: The Dynamic Leader will give Catholics the tools they need to achieve that goal. Based on the work of best-selling author Chris Lowney, author of Pope Francis: Why He Leads the Way he Does, this new resources was created for professionals seeking to live out their faith in all aspects of their lives.

Looking for tips on parish evangelization? I encourage you to read and subscribe to our new blog, Evangelization Matters, where you will find inspiring stories and practical approaches to make your parish more evangelizing. You can find it at blog.bemywitness.org. The blog features content from Be My Witness, a Christ-centered, Spirit-led process to transform the parish and form disciples for evangelizing action. If you are interested in Be My Witness as a fully integrated parish process, please contact us to learn more at 1-888-433-3221.

Many blessings to you as you strive to live in accordance with God’s Word!

Living in the Sacred is a follow-up faith-sharing resource for RENEW International’s popular Longing for the Holy and is based on Ronald Rolheiser’s latest book, Sacred Fire.

Living in the Sacred takes participants on a deeper spiritual journey exploring the second stage of discipleship: “Giving your life away.” Having moved through the “getting your life together’’ stage, participants have made life commitments in either marriage or other relationships, such as raising children, caring for sick or elderly parents, pursuing careers, and engaging in the life of a community. Living in the Sacred is about how we stay true to these commitments as disciples of Christ.

Living in the Sacred: Spirituality for Everyday Life with Ronald Rolheiser, OMI $18.95

About These Resources Many of the spiritual insights for these books were drawn from the writings of Fr. Ronald Rolheiser, a Roman Catholic priest and member of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Fr. Rolheiser serves as president of the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, Texas. He is a sought-after lecturer, and his books are popular throughout the English-speaking world. His weekly column is carried by more than seventy newspapers worldwide.

Simple language and everyday metaphors steep you in the season’s promptings to surrender self, work for justice, and deepen prayer life.

Priestly Life

Beyond My Wildest Dreams From Local Ministry to Worldwide Mission

By Thomas A. Kleissler

Beyond My Wildest Dreams is the memoir of Msgr. Thomas A. Kleissler, who co-founded RENEW, the first diocese-wide faith-sharing process in the United States. Under Msgr.

Kleissler’s leadership, RENEW International went on to touch the lives of millions of people all over the world.

Msgr. Kleissler begins his story with his own childhood, takes it through the origins of RENEW amid the social turbulence of the 1960s, and its unexpected growth. This is a dynamic story, filled with anecdotes about Msgr.

Kleissler’s travels as he and members of his staff spread the spirit of RENEW across six continents, helping people of many cultures put their Christian faith to practice in their everyday lives.

$24.95

Beyond My Wildest Dreams is the remarkable story of Msgr. Thomas Kleissler, a man whose desire it was, as an ordained minister, to build God’s kingdom by connecting faith to people’s everyday lives. With a deep conviction that small-community experiences could transform parishes, the Church, and bring people closer to God, Msgr. Kleissler was the fire behind the RENEW movement.
