A brief theological essay on the universal call to holiness in daily life and the vocation of the laity, of which St. Josemaría Escrivá is one of the forerunners. The author, a priest, historian and writer, asks himself: how can we transform the world to make it more in conformity with God's "dreams"? And he begins with a preliminary premise: to improve any reality, we have to look at it with eyes of love.
Through quotations from the Constitutions of the Second Vatican Council Lumen Gentium and Gaudium et Spes, Mariano Fazio points out three problems of our time: individualism, hedonism and relativism. After describing them, he highlights the conditions that the Christian must meet in order to transform this world of ours: a solid spiritual life, a good doctrinal formation, living unity of life, having social prestige (being an influencer), and living with an evangelical style.
The book is an example of how to present profound ideas in a clear and attractive way. It will help many to renew their desire for holiness in the midst of the world and will give them clues on how to do it.
