This thought-provoking volume by Sister Maureen O’Keefe delves into the profound concept of Christian love within the context of religious life. Published in the latter half of the 20th century, it offers a timely exploration of the principles that underpin the spiritual journey of those dedicated to a life of service and contemplation. O’Keefe’s insights are rooted in her own experiences as a member of a religious order, providing a unique and authentic perspective on the challenges and rewards of embracing agape, the highest form of love espoused by Christian teachings. Through her erudite yet accessible prose, she invites readers to contemplate the transformative power of unconditional love as a guiding force in their personal and communal spiritual practices. This gently-used library copy bears the marks of its institutional history, yet its well-preserved interior ensures that O’Keefe’s wisdom remains accessible to those seeking a deeper understanding of the enduring ideals that shape the religious life.
