Communion of Saints: The Unity of Divine Love in the Mystical Body of Christ

Atthe heart of the Catholic faith, mirroring the great mystery of the HolyTrinity, stands another mystery, that of the "communion of saints," in whichthe three states of the Church--on Earth, in Purgatory, and in Heaven--are unitedin sanctity and charity. In his new book, Stephen Walford invites us into thismystery from both biblical and theological perspectives so we may betterunderstand what it means to be part of the "Mystical Body of Christ." In aworld where rationalism and relativism seek to erase the divine truth ofChristianity, the doctrine of the communion of saints invites us to look beyondthe natural, and embrace the supernatural, united in love with the Holy Soulsand Saints who assist us in our journey toward the Kingdom of God. This book seeksto illumine, for Catholics and non-Catholics alike, the beauty of this teachingof the Church on the unity of the divine love between God and man.
