About This Book

A young seminarian's private letters and journal chronicle his spiritual formation, daily discipline, and inner struggles as he embraces a life of renunciation and apostolic aspiration. The notes contrast the seminary's austerity with the sweetness of prayerful work, trace growth in conviction and tenderness of heart, confess moments of doubt and sensitivity, and reflect on the moral and social value of religious life. Interwoven are reactions to secular laws that disrupt the seminary, leading to expulsion and closure, and a sustained defense of those unjustly maligned by public opinion.
