Bryce Lundgren figured that his life was as good as it gets. His Wyoming family owned a cattle ranch, so he grew up a cowboy at heart, riding the ranges in Wyoming and Minnesota under big blue skies. Yet...his heart was not fulfilled. As a lifelong Catholic, he began diving deeper into his faith, discovering the beauty of the Church's teachings in between stints herding cattle. And he gradually came to realize that the unique call of the wild that's been followed by cowboys for generations isn't so different from the call to adventure inspired by Our Lord. So he decided on a career change....an incredibly radical one: | | After his ordination, now-Father Lundgren noticed that many positive attributes that were second-nature to the cowboy lifestyle had vanished from society at large. Out there, things like fortitude, patience, work ethic, and adaptability weren't "nice-to-haves." They were a way of life; and among the faithful, particularly among Catholic men, they were missing. And in the wild ride called the Christian life, we need those virtues more than ever! So he decided to let the world in on a little secret...one that he'd learned from his previous occupation. | | There's something undeniably romantic about the American West. Even if John Wayne films didn't get the particulars exactly right, they nonetheless depicted a lifestyle that required hard work and dedication. And in Fr. Lundgren's book The Catholic Cowboy Way: Finding Peace and Purpose on the Bronc Called Life, you'll discover the compelling crossover between the rough-and-ready cowboy lifestyle and the power of heroic virtue. | | Fr. Lundgren spent years herding cattle on his family's ranch before he hung up his spurs to shepherd souls as a priest.
