‘An authentic treasury o f spiritual truth’

Pope Pius XII ( 1939-1958)
‘You have written a very beautiful book’ Pope Benedict XV ( 1914-1922)

‘An invitation to laity, religious, and clergy to return to the puré waters o f life
and leave behind' the murky creeks and polluted rivers that have engulfed us
for much o f the last half century.’ Fr Benedict Groeschel
Born in Ireland, Blessed Columba M armion served for
several years as a priest in Dublin before fmding a vocation
to the monastery. He eventually became Abbot of Maredsous
Abbey, Belgium. One of the foremost spiritual masters of the
twentieth century, his books, acclaimed by popes and lay
faithful alikc, wcre translated into eleven languages, and sold
sonie 1.5 million copies. Firmly rooted in the Bible, the
Liturgy, and the writings of the Saints and Doctors of the
Church, Marmion explores every aspect of Catholic dogma
- with penetrating insight - but his great emphasis is 011 the
person of Christ, and the doctrine of Divine Adoption.
Long out of print, we are pleased to offer Marmion’s greatest work in a vibrant new
translation that captures all of its depth and spiritual power, while remaining meticulously
faithful to the French language original.
