Christ Is Alive!

Michel Quoist’s method, he says, is to live and to observe how others live, and then to reflect on what is seen and learned. “I wish to write nothing but what has been lived.”

Today’s Christian cannot live as the Christian lived yesterday. He must find a new form of life. His spirituality cannot be that which was formed for monks, but must come out of his living in the world, where he encounters God in his everyday life. Father Quoist makes frequent reference to the laity as important in the development of this new life.
