Book Description

Excerpt from The Way of the Heart: Letters of Direction Supposed revelations - often of prejudice and credulity all compact - concerning the inner working of Catholic institutions sometimes find a wide circulation amongst non-Catholics. Should any reader of such "exposures" light upon this book, he would find in it not only a striking contrast, but a whole some corrective. Here a private correspondence, never meant for publication, unexpectedly lifts a corner of the veil which ordinarily shrouds the confidential communications between director and penitent. Thus are discovered a few of the gems which lie so deeply hid in the unfathomable ocean of Catholic spiritual life. The English translator submitted to the Church over ten years ago, and was by temperament, like Mgr. d'Hulst's correspondent, a doubter.
