LIVING FAITH SERIES
In Holiness and Living the Sacramental Life, Fr. Philip-Michael
Tangorra lays out the mystical and invisible realities that are present
during the celebration of the sacraments and explains how they can lead
us to living ever more in tune with God.
Read how the sacraments aren’t
empty ceremonies, but rather powerful, effective signs that bring grace
crashing through the cosmos and into our world. See how
beauty—expressed in art, music, and architecture—can bring us deeper
into the mysteries of God.
Fr. Tangorra teaches the average Catholic how
to abandon a lukewarm spirituality and start living a sacramental
existence, allowing God to imbue life with a constant sense of union and
communion with the divine.
Pages: 242. Paperback.

Endorsements:
“Holiness and Living the Sacramental Life by Fr. Philip-Michael Tangorra helps Catholics who are eager to be edified and encouraged as they strive to grow in holiness and follow Jesus Christ along the Way of discipleship in the twenty-first century. The crisp style of Father Tangorra’s book enables the reader to reflect on the beauty of the Church’s sacraments and the central place that they should enjoy in the life of every Catholic. I plan to distribute it to our RCIA team, Catechumens and Candidates for the Sacraments of Initiation, and will recommend it to our parishioners.”
