On Obedience

“Why do we exist? To bear the burden of love. Either we love or we die. 'This demand of the Lord,' we are told in this simple and profound book, 'is the first thing we encounter that knows no boundaries.' This demand of love, which enlists our whole lives, can only be met by an obedience annealed to Christ, modelling that perfect obedience he shows the Father from all eternity.”

The End of Time

Philosophy

“Between the nihilism and horror of an everlasting desolation and cheap technocratic optimism, Pieper reveals the essential character of Christian hope. A wonderful meditation for the coming millennium.”

The Passion from Within

Theology

“Here is a profoundly riveting account of the Lord's Passion, written not from the reportorial perspective of one standing outside the Event, but seen and felt from within that terrifying abyss of loneliness and loss Christ entered for the world's salvation. Adrienne von Speyr possesses so lively an awareness of the 'always more' aspect of Christ's merciful love that one is frequently reminded of St. Therese of Lisieux. The chapters on Christ's Eucharistic surrender are absolutely stunning, a tapestry of inspired mystic color, deeply consoling in its effects.”
