Author Description

Brendan Leahy offers reflections rooted in the Focolare's communitarian spirituality which stresses undertaking the Christian journey together and the mutual sharing of what happens when we try to put the words of the Gospel into daily practice. He also draws on insights of saints and spiritual writers from a variety of historical and cultural settings. These 'simple' reflections mirror discoveries that Leahy feels he needs to constantly re-discover in order to be most effective in building up the presence of Jesus among "two or more" who are going to God together. "Bishop Brendan Leahy offers reflections on a variety of spiritual themes personal to his journey as a Christian and bishop. His reflections are poetic, solidly grounded in the spiritual tradition of the Church and clearly "audible" to the heart of every person seeking to find God in the midst of their hectic everyday life. I highly recommend this book for daily meditation and spiritual reading." Michael Mulvey, Bishop of Corpus Christi "In words simple, yet profound, Bishop Leahy presents the spirituality of communion of the Focolare Movement. He shares his personal experiences as well as quotations from others. His writing has the characteristic of poetry. Everyone would profit from reading this book and reflecting on its message." Msgr. Charles Quinn
