Priest, Prophet & King: Living Your Baptismal Mission of Love and Service

Priest, Prophet & King - Living Your Baptismal Mission of Love and Service

Every baptized Catholic is called to share in the threefold mission of Jesus Christ - to sanctify, to proclaim the truth, and to serve in love. In this inspiring guide to Catholic formation and missionary discipleship, author Allan J. Smith draws on Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the timeless wisdom of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen to help readers rediscover the grace and power of their baptismal identity.

Rooted in deep faith yet written in a clear, accessible style, Priest, Prophet & King offers practical ways to live the Catholic faith with purpose and joy - at home, at work, and in the parish. Each chapter includes Scripture passages, reflection questions, and spiritual insights designed to renew hearts and inspire daily holiness.

Perfect for personal reflection, small-group study, or parish evangelization programs, this book will awaken a greater sense of mission and love for the Church in every reader.

This limited independent edition is made available by Bishop Sheen Today Publishing pending formal release through a Catholic publishing house.
