Description
Poignant reflections on loss and its meanings are collected in this succinct volume aimed at a broad audience of seekers, parents, businesspeople, and the suffering alike. With each passage embracing human failure and loss, the elegant musings of Sister Maria Boulding speak gently and eloquently to those beyond the walls of convents-to those who set their goals high, yet struggle to grasp their own limitations and reconcile them with God, as well as to those who second guess their path in life, and to worshipers mourning the premature loss of friends and family. With each meditation on loss, Sister Boulding creates a spiritual, contemplative grid against which readers can interpret the setbacks of their life.
