General Description:

Edited by Dave Scott and Mike Aquilina

This collection of the writings of Father John J. Hugo offers an exceptional opportunity to reexamine and renew your desire to determine the will of God.

Father Hugo was a pioneer in the "retreat movement." The spiritual advisor of Dorothy Day, founder of the Catholic Worker movement, and one of the most significant lay Catholic initiatives in the history of the American Church.

What makes Father Hugo's writing so relevant is his ability to bring together the teachings of Jesus and the saints as they apply to today's society. By "translating" the teachings of the Church's spiritual classics, Father Hugo shows that the joy of Christianity lies in the high ceiling of each of us to a genuinely holy life.

"Aquinas gives us the theory, Father Hugo gives us the practice. He is recovering some of the most vital yet neglected teachings of the spiritual life. Every Catholic needs this book. I need this book" --Scott Hahn.
