Beskrivning

The familiar images of Word and Light break open with fresh insight in the imaginative and wise ruminations of Sister Genevieve Glen, OSB. From Nazareth to Emmaus, psalms to beatitudes, Advent to Pentecost, through characters, stories, and prayers, this nimble poet and lifelong student of Scripture takes us to new places in texts we thought we knew. At turns probing, humorous, and inspiring, these reflections ultimately help us to know more deeply the Word made Flesh, Jesus of Nazareth — crucified and risen, the Light of the World.

Recensioner i media

“Genevieve Glen, OSB, shares the fruits of her monastic listening in these meditative reflections that offer a fresh look at Scripture, the cherished prayers of our tradition, and the deeper meaning of Advent, Lent, and the Easter season. She is a good guide to the terrain of the Spirit and so gives us the gift of a deeper immersion in sacred word and story.”Rachelle Linner is a freelance writer, reviewer, spiritual director, and contributor to Give Us This Day
