Transformed by Grace:
The Beauty of Discipleship
"There is nothing more beautiful than to be surprised by the Gospel, by the encounter with Christ. There is nothing more beautiful than to know Him and to speak to others of our friendship with Him. "
-- from the 2005 inaugural homily of Pope Benedict XVI
"It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me."
(Galatians 2:20 )
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Our fourth year of Nothing More Beautiful considers the life of grace. We direct our attention to the wondrous call that is ours to follow the Lord Jesus Christ as his disciples.
The five sessions of Year 4 will consider the life of Christian discipleship from the following perspectives: the call to holiness; the centrality of the Word of God in the life of the disciple; the wonder of the sacraments as occasions of encounter with the mercy of God; the beauty of the moral life; and our eternal destiny. I am pleased to announce the presenters and schedule for next year.
It is beautiful to be a Christian, living in Christ as sons and daughters of our heavenly Father and knowing the joy and peace of the Holy Spirit. May that Spirit deepen ever more our desire and commitment to know, love and follow the Lord Jesus.
Most Reverend Richard Smith
Archbishop of Edmonton
