Fiftieth Anniversary Edition
Introduction by Fr. Benedict Joseph Groeschel, O.F.M. Cap.
With a New Introduction by Kevin J. Hanlon, MM
"Our work will never save our souls. It is immaterial where we are and what we do; the thing that matters is who we are and what we intend."--Servant of God Francis X. Ford, MM
This book by Bishop Ford, one of the earliest pioneers, had its origins in spiritual talks delivered to the Maryknoll Sisters in China. It was originally published soon after his death in a Chinese prison camp. Concerned with the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of Christians, it remains a classic of twentieth-century spirituality. As Fr. Benedict Groeschel writes in his introduction, "It offers an insight into the soul of a man who was eventually to pay for his spiritual convictions with his life. In some ways it also gives an insight into the entire missionary effort of the American Catholic Church in the first part of the twentieth century." And it continues bear a message for all Christians about the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of prayer, mission, service, and discipleship.
Ford, Bishop Francis X.
