St. Mary Parish

My Other Self,

by Clarence Enzler

“Under Christ the King’s universal call to serve,
we as men, pledge to unite and build up men
in the mold of leader, protector and provider
through education, formation, action and healing.” 

Meetings are held every Monday night at 7:35 pm (Rm 102) to pray the rosary; to discuss a book we are reading; and to hold each other accountable for the goals to which we commit.

The King's Men would like to invite all men of the parish to join us Monday's at 7:35PM to pray the rosary and discuss the book we are reading: "My Other Self". Modeled on the fifteenth-century classic The Imitation of Christ, this new edition of a little-known Enzler masterwork is revived for modern Christians. This new edition includes an introduction from the authors son, Msgr. John Enzler, pastor of the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Washington, D.C. In this intimate guide to the spiritual life, Christ speaks directly to the reader, whom Christ admonishes to be his presence of love and service in the world. Through this creative mode of dialogue, Enzler leads the reader through the journey of the Christian life, beginning with the call to live in friendship with Christ and fulfill Christs desire. He then examines the means of the Christian life: detachment, virtue, prayer, avoidance of sin, and the Eucharist. Finally he explores the goal of the journey: a life of union with Christ as his disciple and complete joy with him in eternity. Each chapter is divided into short, eloquent sections based on scripture and with beautiful prayers for meditation. These convenient divisions make the book ideal for use as a daily devotional, or a guide to prayer.
