Once more Franciscan Friar, the Reverend Father Richard Rohr guides us through words right in Holy Scripture through the deepest mysteries of our Faith in the Resurrection.
In the season of recollecting self-denial and silence which is Lent, we need a steady and sure guide like the Rev. Fr. Rohr, writer of countless faithful works of Catholic spirituality, such as The Naked Now: Learning to See as the Mystics See and also Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer, as well as many others readily available here upon amazon.
Father Rohr is also a gifted retreat guide. Those of us unable to attend his guided retreats in person nevertheless gratefully receive this present new work, particularly in the soon coming days of Lent, which may seem so lonesome upon this Pilgrim Path, but which Fr. Rohr compassionately makes for us more certain, less slippery, encouraging rather than the despair we might inevitably encounter alone. Gratefully therefore we receive this present work, a gift for any Roman Catholic, and a gift for all peoples of Faith.
One may overcome the anatomical restraints of not attending personally a retreat with Father Rohr upon this topic by visiting the webcast on Saturday, yet this book, available here in hard cover, Kindle and in Spanish, gracefully, stands on its own, and lends itself well to personal reflection at one's own pace, to meditate and to re-read and to read once more throughout the time of Lent, and all of the year.
