"A book of meditations following the course of the liturgical year (1962), inspired by the late Fr Gabriel of St Mary Magdalen. The meditations are substantial and solid, adapted to the various degrees of spirituality, and within reach of every person of good will. Priests, seminarians, contemplative souls, those dedicated to the apostolate, and finally the laity of every social class have meditated these pages and found encouragement and spiritual profit." - Angello Dell'Acqua, substitute for the secretariat of State of His HOLINESS, July 7th, 1961 (from a letter to the Reverend Mother Prioress of the Discalced Carmelites Monastery of St Joseph in Rome)
