Un Sacerdote Pobre Para Los Pobres: La Vida del Padre Rick Thomas, S.J. (Spanish Edition)
Richard Dunstan did a lot of research and interviewed many people for this book, providing a fascinating glimpse into the life of this remarkable priest. You'll learn about how God called Father Thomas to the priesthood, his struggles and challenges, his love and commitment to help the poor throughout his life, and the miracles that followed in the wake of his radical obedience to God.
From the back cover:
When he heard God’s call to the priesthood, Rick Thomas set out on a journey he could never have imagined. He turned his back on a life of wealth and worldly success. In more than half a century with the Society of Jesus, he not only served the poor tirelessly, but embraced poverty in his own life—so completely that he spent the majority of his career eating tortillas and beans and sleeping on a cot wherever he was working. For over 40 years, he led a multifaceted set of ministries to the poor of El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, relying on God to guide decisions and provide the resources. This book is the story of that life’s journey.
