Description:

Putting on the Heart of Christ mines the insights of a contemporary movement in moral theology known as virtue ethics. In doing so, the book encourages us to reflect on and foster the virtues necessary to live lives of love toward God and service toward neighbor. As Gerald Fagin, SJ, leads us through the book, we come to see the Spiritual Exercises as an essential tool in learning how to become the kind of person whose very life in in tune with the heeart of Christ.
