As the Father Sent Me, So I Send You
Theology and Spirituality of Priestly Apostolic Ministry
by Ángel Cordovilla
Description
This work, halfway between the personal testimony and the theological reflection, is divided into three parts. The first displays the historical and cultural situation that has provoked a radical change in the way of perceiving and understanding priestly ministry. The second identifies four features that may enlighten nowadays the image and mission of the priest: the disciple, apostolic, fraternal, and secular dimensions.
The third part deepens into the basic tasks of his mission –the preaching of the Gospel, the sanctification by way of the sacramental and liturgical action, and the guidance of God’s people–, without forgetting that the criterion that must guide and feed the apostolic existence is the daily practice of the ministry, the true and proper way to holiness.

Ediciones Sígueme
Ediciones Sígueme, Spain’s Nacional Award for Best Publishing House in 2005, is a publishing house of Christian inspiration whose goal is the creation of a more fully human, brotherly, and universal culture, open to transcendent values. 1948 can be considered as the official founding date of the publishing house, when it was inscribed under the trademark «Sígueme». It was at the end of the sixties when the present project of the publishing house began its true development. The defining event in this process was the Second Vatican Council. The renewal espoused by the Council led to the creation of different series (Library of Biblical Studies, Truth and Image, Hermeneia…) which are still published nowadays. It also gave origin to the spirit of openness and plurality in the study of the religious phenomenon, one of the characteristic features of the publishing house. From its inception to the present year Ediciones Sígueme has published more than 2000 titles. They are a valuable service to the Church, our society and the Spanish culture.
