GERMAN EDITION OF FAITH AND LIFE

CUF’s critically acclaimed Faith and Life elementary catechism series is now available in German. The “Glaube und Leben” series meets a real need for sound catechesis in Austria, where the new edition was translated and published.

Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, Archbishop of Vienna and general editor of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, wrote the following in his foreword to the German edition (translated into English by Madeleine Stebbins):

“The appearance of the reworked German edition, Glaube und Leben, of the American Faith and Life catechism is a cause of great joy. For the past two decades, Faith and Life has proven to be an excellent series for religious instruction in schools and family catechesis in the home. I know families who use this faith series and bear witness to the excellent fruit it has brought forth. To all who wish to transmit the faith to children in schools or in the home, I recommend the Faith and Life series as a textbook of refreshing and high quality. Pray God this catechism series will give a strong impetus to the transmission of the faith and of Christian life in the German-speaking world.”

From Our Founder

It’s strange how God works. We were just talking about which bills to defer paying when a gift arrived and almost completely solved the problem. And that’s the way it goes. There’s always a problem; and there has always been a solution. One is tempted to think in anguish, “If only we could find about a thousand others as generous as this man . . .” but God has other plans, as He always had ever since He showered on the Israelites in the desert just enough manna for each day. That way we have to go on putting our trust in Him. The other way, we’d probably forget to do just that!
