Christ, the Life of the Soul is a modern spiritual classic. Drawing
upon the Scriptures, the Liturgy, and the Doctors of the Church,
Blessed Columba Marmion shows us the path towards freedom from
self-bondage and the enlargement of our souls - to realize, with
St. Paul, that "I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me." As
Blessed Marmion puts it, "Christ is the Alpha and Omega of all
sanctity."
The author shows how to die to sin and live for God, and the
primary sources of our spiritual nourishment in the Eucharist and
prayer, until the consummation of our adoption in Christ Jesus in
the mystical body of Christ. Perhaps Pope Benedict XV said it best:
"Read this - it is the pure doctrine of the Church ... and
singularly conducive to excite and maintain the flame of Divine
love in the soul."
"He bequeathed to us an authentic treasury of spiritual teaching
for the Church of our time. In his writings he teaches a way of
holiness, simple and yet demanding, for all the faithful." - Pope
John Paul II
" The works of Marmion] are outstanding in the accuracy of their
doctrine, the clarity of their style, and the depth and richness of
their thought." - Pope Pius XII
"Abbot Marmion carries us back to a wider and more wholesome
tradition, and many will rise up to bless him, as they find in his
teaching new strength, and fresh vigor in their striving after
God." - Francis Cardinal Bourne
Born in Ireland in 1858, Blessed Columba Marmion became Abbot
of Maredsous Abbey, Belgium, and one of the great spiritual masters
of the 20th century. His conferences and books have influenced
popes, cardinals, priests, monks, and laity alike.
