The Cross, Our Only Hope: Daily Reflections in the Holy Cross Tradition

by Andrew Gawrych (Editor)

Members of the Congregation of Holy Cross--including pastors, teachers, and the current and past presidents of the University of Notre Dame [and other Holy Cross institutions]--offer an introduction to the rich, vibrant spirituality of the Congregation in this daily meditation book. Each day begins with a brief excerpt from the Holy Cross spiritual tradition--including the writings of Basil Moreau, Edward Sorin, and Jacques DuJarie--followed by a brief personal meditation [by a member of Holy Cross]. Themes such as trust in God, compassion, hope in the cross, discipleship, and the promotion of justice speak to members of Holy Cross, all who have been touched by their ministry, and any Catholic interested in learning more about the Congregation's spirituality.

It was my plan to make this my devotional for the year; however, with all the Bowl games going on I read it during the commercials. With a title like this I thought it would have been more hardcore, but it is milktoast. This doesn't mean it's not good, just not what I expected.
