By-paths to the Presence of God: "Mane Mecum, Domine" S.m. Benvenuta

"Here this treatise on By-Paths to the Presence of God will help us. It gives us the whole of life in terms of Christ. It shows him as the Beginning of all things and their perfect End. It tangles Hm with the roots of the Universe, discovers him twin-made with all the world. The writer makes us realise in words of beauty that all life is sweet with a fragrant remembrance of Him: night with its companion sleep, food and drink, brambles and lillies, brooding hen and falling sparrow, hills and sea, and boyhood." - from the preface by Bede Jarrett, O.
