This book is very deep in giving yourself all for Christ and to the light of the world not their judge. I was deeply moved over and over and I pick the book up to get advice when I really need the advice for further review.

I really admire this book and love it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR SEMINARIANS. If you are a seminarian this book will only inspire you even further for the Love of His people.

If I had only read this book in my youth, I would not of spent the next forty years looking for who and what I am. If you really want that answer, and really want to know who and what God is, and your relationship to Him, then you must read this book. This book is powered by the Holy Spirit!

The author, a former Trappist monk elaborates his knowledge of "The Mystical Body of Christ" and essentially tries to deepen the spiritual faith of the reader by showing how the Most Holy Trinity (from all eternity) knew everything that would happen to you (defects,virtues,warts and all) in order for you to be granted (via baptism and confirmation) membership in the Mystical Body of Christ. This is a work from the 1950s and the author is speaking to a largely Christian, Catholic and conservative audience in this work. However, it is easy-to-follow and the author makes use of skillful transitions in his writing to build up and elevate/deepen the faith of the reader through examples of the Mystical Body of Christ in scriptures and commentaries on this topic (Pius XII in Mystici Corporis) by religious men in his (1950s) present day. I strongly recommend this work for those who are trying to deepen and solidfy their traditional Roman Catholic Christian spiritual faith in the Divine Providence.
