The HERE and NOW Christian

Cardinal Wilfrid Fox Napier OFM has been Archbishop of Durban since 1992.

His duties include serving all the parishes in the Durban Archdiocese as well as serving on numerous committees and attending many meetings in South Africa, Rome and often in other countries. He is frequently called upon to give talks and write articles for various occasions. This is not surprising as Cardinal Napier is not only a learned academic but is knowledgeable, caring and devout in his faith as well as in his calling to serve. He has visited more than forty-eight countries and speaks five languages fluently. He relates to people of all ages in a positive and humble way and is highly respected for his valuable advice.

This selection of commentaries covers a number of years, but focuses mainly on the years 2012 – 2016. A number of diverse topics are addressed. A few of these were part of the “Cardinal’s Corner” published in The Southern Cross Catholic newspaper.

It is hoped that the ideas and guidance will be of practical use for all who want to live a life in which Christian values are applied in a fulfilling and serving manner so as to benefit the society in which we function daily.
