The Hidden Altar: Living the Priesthood of the Baptized

By Lee R. Clayton

You Are A Priest If You Were Baptized.
Did you know that by baptism you are a priest? Not an ordained minister at the altar, but a priest called to intercede, to sacrifice, and to bring God's presence into the world.
In The Hidden Altar: Living the Priesthood of the Baptized, Lee R. Clayton offers a clear, accessible guide to this profound truth. Grounded in Scripture, enriched by St. Thomas Aquinas, and illuminated by the Dominican tradition, this book reveals how the common priesthood is lived out in families, workplaces, friendships, and the silent sacrifices of daily life.Understand the biblical and theological roots of the priesthood of the baptizedSee how the ordained and common priesthood work together in one missionLearn how to transform daily prayer, work, and suffering into spiritual offeringsBe inspired by saints, lay Dominicans, and witnesses of priesthood in actionWhether you are a layperson seeking to deepen your vocation, a religious in formation, or simply curious about how to live your faith more fully, this book will equip and inspire you to discover the altar hidden in your own life.
Your life is a liturgy. Your table can become an altar. Your vocation is priestly.
