Food for the Journey

by Juliana Casey

Overview

This book, an essential formation resource, is a newly updated edition of the original authored in 1991 by Sister Juliana Casey, a member of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary of Monroe, Mich. In its 173 pages, it offers the story of Catholic health care as a sacrament of Christ's healing mercy in our day. It provides leaders with insights into the relationship of the health care ministry of the Catholic Church, the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ, the social teaching of the Church and health care for those persons who are poor and vulnerable by way of tangible examples and easy to understand theological concepts. While the text of the 2013 edition of Food for the Journey remains the same as the original, the look has been updated. - See more at: http://www.chausa.org/mission/food-for-the-journey#sthash.fcrgTcEs.dpuf
