When faces with the daunting diagnosis of terminal cancer, how does one find peace? How does someone cling to faith, hope, and trust, when their world is turned upside-down?
Dr. Ernest Cronin's response was to conduct a personal spiritual audit - an honest examination of faith rooted in his cradle Catholicism. In these pages, he reflects on deeply personal and theological themes, including the role of the Church, the deposit of faith, the Bible, the early Church Fathers, authority, liturgy, the sacraments, and the personal cross he bears. His journey offers insightand encouragment to fellow Catholics struggling with doubt or suffering.
"These reflections are the fruit of prayer, study, and a lifelong pursuit of discipleship- one that imparts not just knowledge, but wisdom. The spiritual audit Dr. Cronin proposes is both a deeply personal journey of discovery and a model for the kind of self-examination every serous Christian must engage in from time to time."
