Deciding to Be Christian: A Daily Commitment
Mark O'Keefe OSB
Mark O'Keefe, OSB makes a distinction between the graces given at Baptism or through the sacraments, and the decision baptized Christians must make to be Catholic every day of their lives.
O'Keefe asserts that in order truly to be a Christian--in order to authentically, maturely, and fully live the Christian life--we must decide to be Christian; and we must renew that decision each day.
O'Keefe writes from his experience of Benedictine monastic life, teaching, and ministry.
For O'Keefe, the decision to be Christian is a daily effort and decision that must be lived every day of our lives. Going through the motions of being Christian is to shirk our responsibilities as disciples of Christ; but, he also suggests that many simply get lost in the shuffle of the secular world.
O'Keefe invites the reader to renew his/her Christian commitment and to decide today to live a fully Christian life in the context of a busy world.
