The parable of the lost sheep would be unintelligible if God did not care about the individual as an individual. Christ’s command to ‘follow me’ is not the slogan of a mass movement but a personal call: Christ encounters each one of us in a unique situation, which is established both by Christ’s unique act of free initiative and by our unique, free response to it.

—Fr. Roch A. Kereszty, O.Cist. and Fr. Denis Farkasfalvy, O.Cist.

Guiding readers from the first inklings of God’s presence, to the fire of married love, to the miracle of the Eucharist, and even to the hour of death, this book completes the circuit between theological study and human experience. This unique work, written by two longtime friends and brothers in religious life, draws on the riches of the Cistercian founder St. Bernard of Clairvaux—and with him the whole tradition of the Church Fathers—to communicate Christ’s peace to hearts and minds.
