This is a lyrical, beautiful and powerfully written work by an internationally known spiritual writer. Father Maloney's prose and poetry provoke, inspire and inform us all at once. The work sheds light on the interior pain and struggles that each one of us experience in our journey back to the Creator. The work is a call for deeper understanding, mutual support and compassion for one another. It deals not only with the darkness that envelops the individual but the pain, sorrow and sins that have broken and afflicted the Church and humanity as a whole. It is a prophetic call to deal with the distortions that have crept into the Church itself and have hindered the authentic proclamation of the Gospel. This is an excellent meditative work for all those interested in their own spiritual development, the growth of the Church, the building up of a more just society and the healing of the individual and humanity as a whole.
