Bit ćete mi svjedoci

The work Bit ćete mi svjedoci (You Will Be My Witnesses) by Sister Mirjam Magdalena Šurjan, published in 1982, is a valuable religious and catechetical manual born of Catholic educational and pastoral work. Taking its title from a well-known biblical quote from the Acts of the Apostles, the book centers on the call for every Christian to live out and bear witness to their faith actively, courageously, and authentically in daily life. Its content is designed to foster the reader's spiritual growth, with a particular emphasis on work with young people, confirmation candidates, and catechetical groups. Through reflections, prayers, and practical guidelines, the author addresses themes such as Christian identity, the role of the Holy Spirit, the importance of community, and the moral and spiritual values ​​that a believer should embody in society. Written in an accessible, warm, and encouraging style, this 1982 edition served as an exceptionally useful resource for priests, catechists, religious education teachers, and parents during a time when religious education required special effort and dedication. The work remains an enduring testament to its era and a significant contribution to Croatian spiritual and catechetical literature from the late 20th century.
