Details: Product Description In this publication, Fr. Christopher Fox, an experienced director of retreats, shares some thoughts and reflections on prayer and the spiritual life. He feels that one of the greatest needs for all of us is to think deeply on the meaning of life and to free ourselves of so much mental and emotional rubbish that is thrown at us from all sides. He writes clearly of the beauty of genuine religion and the teaching of Jesus and the power of Christian love. About the Author Fr Christopher Fox, M.H.M. has contributed many articles to various religious magazines over the years and has compiled a selection of them in this book, Our Lady's Apron, in which he hopes the reader will find them helpful in developing their own relationship with God. He is also the author of Painted Butterflies. In this memoir he describes his experiences in Ireland, Britain and the U.S.A.; but the heart of the book deals with his very varied and often harrowing experiences in Africa, largely in Uganda, a country that went through years of civil war and social turmoil. But these very great difficulties were balanced by better days. "My own attitude to the many challenges of life has been one of optimism," he says. "For me the glass is always half full."
