Dom Hubert's witty and incisive reflections draw on a varied and colourful array of sources, including Tacitus, Milton, Evelyn Waugh, and Saint Benedict, and address such topics as: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe almost-but-not-quite saint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurity, chastity, and understanding the opposite sex \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerseverance in prayer, faith, and work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe point of Sacramental Marriage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimplicity in art, prayer, and \"everything\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo mistakes people make about sin (other than committing it)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy contemplative vocations are more frequent among women.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith insights that remain relevant today, Dom Hubert provides advice helpful for young and old, for the spiritually motivated and listless alike, in a short book which clearly presents the universal call to holiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 228\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 30, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47437463945394,"sku":"9781739624163","price":21.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/75c2837313f9daa4134128511e99b33c.webp?v=1778653194","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/we-work-while-the-light-lasts-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
