A biography of Columba Marmion, one of the most influential spiritual writers of the early twentieth century.
"Crowned by the French Academy " Contains selections from Marmion's work Reprint Originally published: London : Sands ; St Louis, Mo : B Herder, 1932.
Columba Marmion (1858-1923) was one of the most influential spriritual writers of the early-20th century. Born and educated in Dublin, Marmion considered himself to be in the long line of Irish missionary priest-monks, such as St Columba or St Columbanus, who underwent voluntary exile for the love of Christ.
Blessed Columba Marmion was abbot of Maredsous Benedictine Abbey in Belgium from 1909 until 1923. His conferences given to clergy and religious consist of solid and practical spiritual advice that is timelier than ever. This book is a successfully defended doctoral thesis that focuses on Marmions understanding of the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the life of a diocesan priest. The ultimate purpose of such a thesis is to provide an aid to developing a spirituality for clergy in parochial ministry. Included in this book is a concise background of Marmions life, an appendix of many quotations taken directly from his conferences that can serve as material for meditation and finally a proposed spiritual process that can assist the reader in developing a closer relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ by reflecting upon the life and role of the Blessed Mother. Although the targeted audience is Roman Catholic clergy, any person may benefit from the meditations by adapting the process to his or her own state in life.
Columba McCann explores Marmion's spiritual teachings and highlights key moments in his life that influenced his writing, from his early childhood in Dublin to his later years as a Benedictine and as abbot of Maredsous in Belgium.

"Every vocation, even the simple Christian vocation, comes from God. Our Lord Himself says 'No man can come to Me, except the Father draw him.' But it is God's love for us-and as we are born miserable, it is His merciful love-which is the origin of this call." A work which goes to the heart of the Rule of St Benedict, this classic of the Irish Benedictine Blessed Columba Marmion has fed generations of God-seeking souls. Capable of touching the heart of anyone drawn to the monastic virtues, it is a book which grounds every aspect of the religious life in the person of Christ. "All the Divine mercies towards us have for their first principle this invitation to share, by adoption, in the Sonshi...
