Msgr Dino Lorenzetti

In these pages you will find encouragement and inspiration for your vocation as a Catholic physician. Msgr. Lorenzetti, spiritual advisor for the Catholic Medical Association for over 20 years and papal assistant to the International Federation of Catholic Medical Associations, offers these challenging and beautiful messages which have stood the test of time. "The messages both pushed me in my practice as a Catholic physician and also reaffirmed my vocation. I read them straight through but I can tell it would be a very nice book to read for a daily reflection and used in prayer." Family Medicine doctor in South Bend, IN "Discouragement among doctors is greater now than ever. These are incredible words of encouragement. If a doctor reads these words, he /she cannot help but feel that being a doctor is definitely not a job but a calling, a mission." Internal Medicine doctor in New Bern, NC

Each of us only has a limited number of hours in our lives. No one can deny that everyone, without exception, is to face death. When we leave this world, what can we expect? Monsignor Lorenzetti explores this topic and how his own life experiences formed him to be the hopeful priest he is today. He describes the passage of death as the vehicle or catapult to the Kingdom where the mystery of new life commences. The book includes true stories of sacred death and Monsignor's thoughts on death, heaven, and the life which prepares us for our time to be reunited with the Lord. A reader's discussion guide is provided. 100%% of the proceeds are donated to St. Vincent de Paul Society of Philadelphia, PA.
