Sinopsis

'If my correspondence is anything to go by,' writes Benedictine artist and author Dom Hubert Van Zeller, 'the problem which men and women living in the world most want to discuss is that of how to handle the affections.' The fruit of Dom HubertâÇÖs experience as a spiritual director, these 42 short reflections are culled from his correspondence, and engage with questions surrounding the cultural upheaval which followed World War II, the first stages of the sexual revolution, and the modern worldâÇÖs apathy towards God. Dom HubertâÇÖs witty and incisive reflections draw on a varied and colourful array of sources, including Tacitus, Milton, Evelyn Waugh, and Saint Benedict, and address such topics as:The almost-but-not-quite saintPurity, chastity, and understanding the opposite sexáPerseverance in prayer, faith, and workThe point of Sacramental MarriageSimplicity in art, prayer, and 'everything'Two mistakes people make about sin (other than committing it)Why contemplative vocations are more frequent among women.With insights that remain relevant today, Dom Hubert provides advice helpful for young and old, for the spiritually motivated and listless alike, in a short book which clearly presents the universal call to holiness.
