night when you read the Book of Heaven and the Hours of
the Passion and Blessed Virgin Mary in the DW and you
reach that profoundest of “breath” where you surrender and
exchange in a deeper way your human will so the DW can
become your breath, We read in Habakkuk 3: He makes me
leap like the deer, he guides me to the high places.” A
powerful passage in Vol 34 illustrates this.

sacrifice” In 1 Cor 9:24-26 St Paul says how extremely
important it is not to run the race without purpose.

known only to the man who receives it.” The white stone
reminds me of Luisa who we know went ridge like a rock
each night and stylised pictures of her make her look like a
white stone- just a thought!
One of the classics of modern spiritual writings given to
religious in formation is Blessed Columba Marmion Christ,
the life of the soul. Pope Benedict XV said this book is the
