Description: The Gospels portray Jesus as one who often sought
solitude, whether for himself or in quietude before his Father. To
do so he had to withdraw from both his disciples and others. Such
moments enabled him to renew his inner strength, to find God's
consolation for himself, as well as to imbue him with insight and
courage for the inimitable journey that God had selected him to
travel. We too need those same personal moments with God, those
quiet occasions for withdrawal and reflection. If you have ever
hungered for such, Fairest Lord Jesus, filled with simple, direct,
and uncomplicated meditations, will speak to you. Within its pages,
you will journey with Jesus across the Gospels to his Cross, hear
his voice of solace and commission, while resting with him in
village after village as he pauses to mend the hearts of the
contrite and the lonely and heal the broken, dispirited, and ill;
and, finally, on that Morning of mornings, stand with him in that
Sacred Garden of the soul, where he fills all hearts with the joy
of his presence and his eternal love. In addition, enriching the
collection are numerous vignettes, drawn from Farley's years of
teaching philosophy and religion courses, along with poignant
stories of the passage of time. About the Contributor(s): Benjamin
