September 1, 2013 (Boston) — Pauline Books & Media is pleased to announce the release of Meeting Jesus Christ: Meditations on the Word by Reverend Monsignor J. Brian Bransfield, author of the best-selling The Human Person: According to John Paul II (Pauline Books & Media, 2010) and Living the Beatitudes: A Journey to Life in Christ (Pauline Books & Media, 2011).
Monsignor J. Brian Bransfield is a priest of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia who serves as the Associate General Secretary of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. He is also an adjunct professor of moral and spiritual theology on the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, DC.
Meeting Jesus Christ invites readers to personally encounter Jesus Christ. Highlighting the new in the familiar, Msgr. Bransfield unlocks unique perspectives on the mysteries of Jesus’s life through meditating on twenty-one Scriptural passages on different Gospel accounts. Mike Aquilina, Executive Vice President and Trustee of The St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology and EWTN host, acclaims: “Bransfield shows us that the scenes of the Gospels are not sword-and-sandal
dramas. They’re our lives. Jesus is walking our streets, and he’s healing people who have jobs and emotions and motives that are a lot like yours and mine.”
