Sinopsis

Born in the silence and simplicity of rural New-England, this book gathers some brief reflections and sermons of a parish Priest. The sermons fix their attention upon the Mother of God, and the authorâÇÖs approach is essentially liturgical. Side-stepping the language of apologetics and controversy, he studies the texts of the Roman liturgy and shares what he finds there. The meditations-concentrated and pithy-consider, beneath the light of inspired human reason and Sacred Scripture, such topics as:ááHumility and cheerfulnessAnxiety and truthModernism and MaryThe Law and the Little Way of St ThereseáScandal, hope, and the Divine GardenerThe cloisterâÇÖs unlikely lessons on PatriotismCourage, pharisaism, and a fate worse than deatháThe peace of the wounded ChristáDrawing on a wide variety of sources, Fr Sliwa enriches his meditations by engaging with saints, writers, and philosophers from Augustine and Aquinas to Evelyn Waugh and Georges Bernanos. In a phrase of the priest-poet Hopkins, the grace of ChristâÇÖs Incarnation âÇÖMakes, O marvelous! New Nazareths in us.âÇÖ Thus the aim of this book can be summed up as preparing human lives for the visits of divine grace.
