Book description
Surely the most deeply-rooted need of the human soul, its purest
aspiration, is for the closest possible union with God. As one turns
over the pages of this little work, written by Blessed Albert the Great
towards the end of his life, when that great soul had ripened and
matured, one feels that here indeed is the ideal of one's hopes. Simply
and clearly the great principles are laid down, the way is made plain
which leads to the highest spiritual life. It seems as though, while one
reads, the mists of earth vanish and the snowy summits appear of the
mountains of God. We breathe only the pure atmosphere of prayer, peace,
and love, and the one great fact of the universe, the Divine Presence,
is felt and realized without effort. [Complete with Notes, Preface, and
a New Introduction]
