The book is an attempt to unfold the treasures of Mysticism and become rooted in
Christ, so that we discover a renewed vision of consecrated life and be relevant
emissaries of Christ's love in this 21st century. The call to rejuvenate the consecrated
Life in this century through effective prophetic witness and profound mystical dimension
is very vital to the Church and Society, as we are living in the midst of diverse modern
challenges such as materialism, consumerism, subjectivism, fundamentalism, careerism, etc.
The desire to renew our lives as human beings and above all as consecrated persons,
invites us to return to the Lord Jesus Christ, the true treasure and the pearl of our
lives as mystics and prophets with an undivided burning heart, fully alive in His service.
We are challenged to be transformed into other Christs, to reconcile with the world in
communion, joy, forgiveness and compassion for His people in the 21st century, to wake up
the world.
The book is meant for all consecrated men and women who continue to take on the
prophetic task for the Church to flourish in a world that has already been deteriorated by
so much division, violence, exploitation, and disillusionment.
