The sermons fix their attention upon the Mother of God, and the author's approach is essentially liturgical. Side-stepping the language of apologetics and controversy, he studies the texts of the Roman liturgy and shares what he finds there. The meditations-concentrated and pithy-consider, beneath the light of inspired human reason and Sacred Scripture, such topics as:  \u003cul\u003eHumility and cheerfulnessAnxiety and truthModernism and MaryThe Law and the Little Way of St Therese Scandal, hope, and the Divine GardenerThe cloister's unlikely lessons on PatriotismCourage, pharisaism, and a fate worse than death The peace of the wounded Christ\u003c\/ul\u003e Drawing on a wide variety of sources, Fr Sliwa enriches his meditations by engaging with saints, writers, and philosophers from Augustine and Aquinas to Evelyn Waugh and Georges Bernanos. In a phrase of the priest-poet Hopkins, the grace of Christ's Incarnation 'Makes, O marvelous! New Nazareths in us.' Thus the aim of this book can be summed up as preparing human lives for the visits of divine grace. \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Cenacle Press at Silverstream Priory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50487472324882,"sku":"9781739624149","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_8224ae3f-6fb6-4ede-9bd8-7d26c735cec6.jpg?v=1730442126","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/new-nazareths-in-us-sermons-meditations-on-seeking-christ-his-mother-9781739624149","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
