Review:

"This is an excellent book for personal reflection during the Easter season. Hume explores the mystery of suffering and relates it to Jesus and the cross. His style is simple and profound, and his meditations are always centered in faith and hope . . . The first two parts of the book discuss learning to embrace mystery and developing a sense of inner peace. The third part, "Celebrating Mystery," takes us through the seasons of Christmas, Lent, and Easter, and reveals their depth and profundity in powerful new ways. The final chapter on the liturgy of the Eucharist (a companion to the prologue on the liturgy of the Word) is a masterpiece of thoughtful, faith-filled writing. This book can and probably will change the way you experience Mass forever." -- Religion Teachers Journal
