The freedom of God

Monsignor Laurence Ulrich, Archbishop of Paris, is speaking on the day before of the reopening of Notre-Dame; and his words are different, going beyond his position of high responsibility within the Church. His words are authentic, addressed to the people of France and the faithful of the Church. In this inspiring book of spirituality, France's first bishop, Mgr Ulrich, shares a profound meditation informed by his experience as a pastor and theologian.

At a time when our Notre-Dame cathedral is being reborn from the ashes, this book invites us to discern the signs of the times and to cultivate hope.

"La liberté de Dieu" is much more than a book: it is a source of inspiration for all those seeking to understand the meaning of their faith or to find their bearings in these troubled times. With the wisdom and depth that characterise Bishop Ulrich, he offers here a unique and luminous testimony. 

An exceptional and original book to give as a gift or to treat yourself. Real human words, full of life, that will resonate with all of us in these dark times.

Excerpt from the words of Mgr Ulrich, translated here into English: ‘My joy? As you readers will surely have understood, it is to bear witness to God's freedom. The freedom He takes to love us. The freedom He gives us to leave Him aside or to love Him and follow Him. Christians are missionaries of the freedom of God, who offers to each and every person, if they so desire with all their heart, soul and mind, to be in turn fully free in the life of this world’.
