A Letter from our President
“I have often thought about how the Church might make clear its mission of being a witness to mercy. It is a journey that begins with a spiritual conversion. For this reason, I have decided to call an extraordinary Jubilee that is to have the mercy of God at its center. It shall be a Holy Year of Mercy. We want to live this Year in the light of the Lord’s words: ‘Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.’ (cf. Lk 6:36)” —Pope Francis
In preparation for the Holy Year of Mercy, December 8, 2015 to November 20, 2016, RENEW International presents new parish-based resources that support and encourage the Church’s mission to be a witness of mercy, expressing compassion in both words and deeds. Be My Witness is a Christ-centered, Spirit-led process to transform the parish and form disciples for the New Evangelization. Be My Witness draws its inspiration from The Joy of the Gospel and engages parish staff, leaders, and pastoral councils to effect change, forming missionary disciples via parish small groups. The first parish cohort begins in January 2016. Luke: My Spirit Rejoices!, is a fresh, contemporary resource based on the Gospel of Luke, written by scripture scholar Martin Lang. This book is the first in the RENEW Scripture Series, which is designed for personal and small-group use. Living in the Sacred is a small-group resource based on The Sacred Fire, the latest book by best-selling author Fr. Ronald Rolheiser, OMI. This companion for our popular Longing for the Holy takes participants on a deeper spiritual journey and guides us on how to stay true to our commitments as disciples of Christ, extending mercy toward all. Leading Prayer in Small Groups emphasizes the importance of prayer in church groups of every kind. Readers are guided through preparing for and effectively leading prayer for groups ranging from parish councils to rosary societies. Please consider these exciting new resources for your parish or small group, and be sure to subscribe to our eNewsletter World RENEW. Sr. Theresa Rickard, OP President and Executive Director

Beyond My Wildest Dreams From Local Ministry to Worldwide Mission By Thomas A. Kleissler
Beyond My Wildest Dreams is the memoir of Msgr. Thomas A. Kleissler, who co-founded RENEW, the first diocese-wide faith-sharing process in the United States. Under Msgr. Kleissler’s leadership, RENEW International went on to touch the lives of millions of people all over the world. Msgr. Kleissler begins his story with his own childhood, takes it through the origins of RENEW amid the social turbulence of the 1960s, and its unexpected growth. This is a dynamic story, filled with anecdotes about Msgr. Kleissler’s travels as he and members of his staff spread the spirit of RENEW across six continents, helping people of many cultures put their Christian faith to practice in their everyday lives.

Beyond My Wildest Dreams is the remarkable story of Msgr. Thomas Kleissler, a man whose desire it was, as an ordained minister, to build God’s kingdom by connecting faith to people’s everyday lives. With a deep conviction that small-community experiences could transform parishes, the Church, and bring people closer to God, Msgr. Kleissler was the fire behind the RENEW movement. —Ronald Rolheiser, OMI, President, Oblate School of Theology, San Antonio, Texas
