Understanding Exile in Catholic Life

Many Catholics today grapple with the concept of exile, with some feeling too comfortable in the world, while others feel completely lost. The idea of being in exile serves as a reminder that this world is not our true home, and that Catholics are called to live in accordance with their faith amidst worldly challenges. This perspective is emphasized in the book 'Catholics in Exile,' which illustrates that even during periods of struggle, believers should not feel homeless, but rather find comfort in their ultimate destination with the Lord. By recognizing that we are strangers in this world, Catholics can maintain a hopeful outlook and embrace their spiritual journey.
