eBook: Echoes of the Spirit
$19.00
Eternal life,’ as the Lord Himself declares, is the knowledge of the true God (John 17:3). Yet His life is infinite, and we, in our weakness, whenever He reveals Himself to us, can only grasp the smallest aspect of it. This is why divine Providence has established feasts throughout the year as places where we meet the Lord, as windows that reveal to us the ‘great and wondrous’ things of our God and lead us into His Presence.
The feasts were given to us to remember the blessings we have received from God, to thank Him, and entreat Him to succour us on the path of the Cross that leads to salvation. They were given to us to combat the devastation of oblivion and the abomination of ingratitude. The feasts of the Church are not a theatrical re-enactment but a prayerful commemoration. Preparation for each feast with humble thanksgiving and repentance brings grace, which makes us contemporaries of eternal events in the Holy Spirit.
