The author writes with warmth, with learning, with passion and
with humor. The reader can enter into something of the accumulated
wisdom of an Order whose members 'have carried out the same little
series of exercises since the eleventh century'. Each season has
its special appeal for Carthusians - as the Conferences on Mary and
on John the Baptist in the Advent and Christmas seasons show. The
great Sunday Gospels of Lent - the Transfiguration, the Samaritan
woman at the well, the raising of Lazarus - are expounded; the
Passion of Christ is the subject of meditations that are profoundly
and sometimes startlingly direct in their candour.
Yet perhaps the most remarkable part of this unusual book the
author's capacity to speak at length and to the point about the
Resurrection and the coming of the Spirit. Here, where Christian
teachers and preachers have so often been either hesitant or
dogmatically remote, we have someone who clearly participates in
the mysteries of which he speaks. It is a priceless gift to us
al.
