| Quotation | But providentially Dom Godefroid Belorgey's new book, L'Humilite Benedictine [Paris, 1948], came in at that moment. It is on the whole very good. So I started it and with the grace of the Holy Ghost the familiar ideas of Dom Anselme le Bail struck me in a new way and opened up new depths and let some fresh air into my prayer and delivered me from myself, and so, I have a lot to be grateful for: a recollected weekend, peaceful and free! |
