Pressing on in the Spirit [paperback]

Once again Maria Vadia makes scripture come alive. In a most profound way she helps to mediate the grace to hear the Word of God and to apply ity to life situations. As she applies Scripture, she points out the weaknesses in human nature and provides us with the guidelines for taking the word and translating it into a plan of action. Sister Marcella Purpura, C.S.J.Director of Diocesan Renewal OfficeRockville Centre, NYMaria Vadia reminds me of that person who Jesus describes in Matt. 13:52 who has been instructed in the Kingdom of Heaven and who brings out of the store house new treasures as well as old. She presents them to us as sign posts pointingthe way to God's Kingdom. Words of power and encouragement for tired pilgrims. She will make you think and ask yourself why didn't I see that? Fr.
