Description

This revelatory memoir probes the mystical origins of an intimate relationship between a priest and nun during the turbulent era of Catholic Church renewal. Both of them had dedicated their lives to Divine Love in Christian prayer and service. They shared the same ideals, but as the church's vision expanded, they found themselves on a sharp edge of paradox, never knowing if the next choice would be spiritually heroic or a fall into delusion. Wanting to be faithful to the divine call, they felt caught between the laws of the institutional church and the drawing of the spirit within. Some stories require decades in the telling. This is one. For over thirty years the author revealed only snippets. Some understandings require a remembering so deep and stark it might seem preferable to bury even the snippets beyond retrieval, not because they are despised or feared, but because each fragment of the story is finally loved too much.
