Designed for spiritual reading or retreats, these brief meditations on the Christian life—holiness, silence, spirituality, the mystery of evil, the Beatitudes, the Paschal Mystery, reconciliation, holy families and the diversity of family life today, and the true self-among others, are inspired by the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius and Pope Francis.

The books moves from God, to Jesus, the Church, and practical reflections on living the gospel. Other topics include beauty as a way to God, the mystery of evil, gospel portraits of those who encountered Jesus, and Pope Francis's encyclical Laudato Si' on care for our threatened Sister, Mother Earth.
