Were we to have a glimmer of understanding of how the road leads from faith over hope to love, we would renounce the lie of our self-image in order to entrust everything to the Lord alone and his transforming love.

THE FRUIT OF PRAYER

Following up her book, The Word, Von Speyr reflects deeply on the text of St. John’s Gospel, taking it sentence by sentence. The meditations are confluent with the scenes and themes of the Gospel itself, and perhaps the most characteristic note of her meditations is determined by the author’s use of the whole imagery of St. John to convey his thought.
