In these meditations of key New Testament passages, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger shares his own deep sense of joy as a priest in the service of Christ. These rich reflections on such themes as surrender to God, dying to oneself, having confidence in Christ, being touched by the fire of the Holy Spirit, and developing a life of prayer, flesh out what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, especially within the context of the priesthood. Ministers of Your Joy is a book to savor and to ponder carefully. It will inspire you with a deeper desire to follow Jesus faithfully, to love him and make him known, and to persevere with joy in his service.
