Abbot
Dom Columba Marmion was born in Dublin, in 1858, the year that our
Lady appeared at Lourdes, and he died on January 30, 1923. That is
the Feastday of Saint Martina, and it was also on January 30th that
two other great founders died. It was January 30, 1875 that the Abbot
of Solesmes, Dom Prosper Gueranger, passed to his eternal reward, and
also, on the same day in 1978, that Father Leonard Feeney, who had a
great devotion to both Abbots, departed from this vale of tears.
The
substance of this book was gathered together by Dom Raymond Thibaut
and originally published in 1941. The material was taken from the
three great spiritual classics of Dom Marmion: Christ,
the Life of the Soul, Christ in his Mysteries, and Christ, the Ideal
of the Monk,
all published shortly before his death.
Rarely
will one find such great spiritual treasures as are contained herein,
except from other masters of the spiritual life, such as St. Francis
de Sales or Saint John of the Cross.
