The publication of this book, Passion for Jesus, Passion for Humanity, is indeed timely after the 2004 Congress on Consecrated Life in Roma successfully inaugurated a new era in Consecrated Life.... Consecrated Life must be regenerated and re-envisioned in the context of the challenges of our post-modern world. Yet, this cannot happen without the primary role of the Holy Spirit who has conceived and given birth to Consecrated Life and allowed its development to continue in our world.... May this serve as a ruroorce and an inspiration for the blossoming of Consecrated Life in this post-Congress era! - Excepts from the Foreword
