"In all of these insights, I realize more and more, that there
is a certain need I have to know Jesus better, and to love Him. For
this reason, I am asking for the grace of the Lord to 'Show me His
Face.' That image of coming to know the Face of Jesus has caught
me." (First paragraph of chapter one.) These words serve as the
basis of Father Meehan's life, prayer, and fifty years of ministry
in the priesthood, and are the underlying theme of this book of
reflections. For over fifty years, he wrote down reflections on
prayer, the saints, Christian ministry, the Church, and moral
theology issues, especially abortion and peace and justice issues,
seeking God's Face, and His truth and love, in all of these areas.
Finally, on facing his death during the last year of his life, he
reflected: "How much more should I review spiritual things such as
praying more often ... more generous time given to the Lord. So now
I offer in the Holy Spirit a prayer of openness to God's Will,
whenever God calls. Main point: With the Lord's grace, I need to
commend my spirit to the Lord more and more." (Last chapter.) By
sharing with us over fifty years of seeking the face of God, Father
Meehan leads us to see the Lord.
