Sinopse

In the early twentieth century, Blessed Columba MarmionâÇÖs dogmatically-grounded spiritual theology, expressed in artful prose, set the Catholic world on fire. A century later, in The Grace of 'Nothingness,' Fr Cassian Koenemann seeks to rekindle that fire for a new generation with his inspired presentation of MarmionâÇÖs key spiritual insights. To this task he brings a monkâÇÖs sensitivity to friendship with God, a schoolteacherâÇÖs focus on the fruits of theology, and a spiritual theologianâÇÖs attentiveness to grounding it all in proven sources. Marmion reminds us that God heals and perfects us to the extent we allow him to do so, but that we often block that transformation through prideful 'self-reliance,' trying to solve our problems by our own efforts. If only we place our confidence in God, however, we will receive the grace we need.á
