Urodivoi: Holy Fools (Madonna House Classics) (Vol 5)

Learn to take risks for Christ and his Gospel. Urodivoi is a Russian word meaning "holy foolishness." In this book Catherine Doherty expresses her calling to this aspect of Russian spirituality, and calls us to become fools for Christ. "Anything and everything we do must be approached with the foolishness of God, with an identification with Christ. Can you imagine anything more foolish than hanging on a cross? We are invited to open the doors of our hearts to the Lord of Love, to the foolishness of the Cross, and to become a fool for the sake of Christ, even as he became a fool for our sake. For God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom."Catherine Doherty is the author of 'Urodivoi: Holy Fools (Madonna House Classics) (Vol 5)', published 2001 under ISBN 9780921440345 and ISBN 0921440340.
