The book, especially the prayers it holds, has also emerged from my personal experience of the example of many other people whose strength and vision enabled them to know just when to let go. Knowing this led them into the way of pace. May you find the same path...

The words take you gently by the hand, through the poems of growing up, parting and grieving. The stories reveal, with love, how things are when someone very near and very dear, dies." Kathleen Gallagher - Poet and Playwright...

Since the earlier edition of the small volume was so well received, the basic content of this revised edition will remain the same. The new text is stylistically reworked and necessary corrections were made by Fr. Patrick Connor, SVD to whom I owe a special word of thanks. A number of new stories have been added or replaced, and the questions for reflection were partly reworded. Two new conferences were added: Conversion of St. Paul and Poverty: Option for the Poor. Special thanks goes to Sister Christel Daun, S.Sp.S. for her help in selecting the stories, and for her assistance in so many ways with the new edition. We had some difficulty in selecting a suitable title. Although the book was originally meant for religious and priests, surprisingly it reached many lay people as well who wanted to follow the Lord more dedicatedly. We, therefore, decided to leave the title as it was worded in the second printing of the first edition. ..

Heartfelt, incisive, and timeless, The Confessions of Saint Augustine has captivated readers for more than fifteen hundred years. Retelling the story of his long struggle with faith and ultimate conversion -- the first such spiritual memoir ever recorded -- Saint Augustine traces a story of sin, regret, and redemption that is both deeply personal and, at the same time, universal. Starting with his early life, education, and youthful indiscretions, and following his ascent to influence as a teacher of rhetoric in Hippo, Rome, and Milan, Augustine is brutally honest about his proud and amibitious youth. In time, his early loves grow cold and the luster of wordly success fades, leaving him filled with a sense of inner absence, until a movement toward Christian faith takes hold, eventually leading to conversion and the flourishing of a new life. Philosophically and theologically brilliant, sincere in its feeling, and both grounded in history and strikingly contemporary in its resonance, Th..

The Thoughts of the Curé D’Ars is the most beautiful, simple and inspiring statement of practical Catholic wisdom that most of us will likely ever read. Consisting of short, profound sayings, almost comparable to the Proverbs in the Bible, this little book reflects perfectly its simple but holy author, St. John Vianney. Jean-Marie Baptiste Vianney (1786-1859) was popularly known as the Curé of Ars, or the parish priest of Ars, which is a small farmer’s village north of Lyons, France. Though of poor education, the Curé of Ars was very intelligent and well versed in the Faith. He rose to great sanctity, converted thousands of souls to Christ, became famous throughout the Catholic world, and in 1929 Pope Pius XI proclaimed him the “Patron Saint of Parish Priests” worldwide! This little book is a sample of his sanctity and wisdom. ..
