All Along This Pilgrim Journey: Advent and Lenten Devotions and Reflections for the Way

The materials contained in this collection are offered toward daily devotions for Advent and Lent, seventy in all. Advent and Lenten homilies are given at the end of each section. The essays deal with varying topics, some sacramental matters, and some the insights derived from hymns or subjects like the holy life and consecration, and in the acts of God, often mysterious, as providence and what theologians call theodicy, i.e., explaining the love of God in a world of terror, pain, and death. War may require the most exacting interpretation of theodicy when we look at it.
