$18.95

Meet your new guide and intercessor on the journey to holiness. Venerable Bruno Lanteri lived through tumultuous times – war, revolution, and Jansenism were all raging – yet he prayerfully accompanied his spiritual directees and encouraged them to have patience and hope amid life’s challenges. This treasure trove of letters that Venerable Bruno wrote to his spiritual children will provide you with life-enhancing wisdom that you can ponder and take to heart again and again.

A common enemy in the spiritual life is discouragement, and Venerable Bruno masterfully assists his directees in overcoming it through his inspired, straightforward, practical counsels. By prayerfully reflecting on these gems – which Fr. Timothy Gallagher, O.M.V., deftly connects to the writings of other saints – you will gain confidence in God and a greater patience with yourself as you learn:

*How to continually “begin again” after failure without losing heart
*Why you should consider temptations as favors, trust in God’s mercy, and rejoice
*Basic ways to grow in holiness by practicing key spiritual exercises in your daily life
*A spiritual plan to foster gentleness and humility of heart, in imitation of Our Savior
*Biblical meditations to help you enter the Mass with the mind of Our Lady and the saints
*The many benefits of spiritual reading and how to derive the most fruit from this practice

Whether you are struggling with sin, feeling disheartened, experiencing loss, or seeking to grow in virtue, Venerable Bruno’s counsel will kindle in your heart a lively faith, hope, and love. His gentle presence and heroic witness, as revealed in these precious pages, will be your constant guide.
