On re-reading this book, Dom Hubert confessed to being surprised at the tone of attack which runs through a lot of it. But he continues, I would like to say in this connexion that any blows which are met with in these pages are primarily aimed at myself. All the more combative passages were occasioned by my saying to myself: This wont do-its a misconception (or a mood or a willy) and must be exploded at once. Then I have sat down and written my piece. Such a candid effort on the authors part results in short and powerful reflections on a variety of topics. Reflecting on the whole human person, body and soul, Dom Hubert highlights such issues as: - The emotions, and how two doctors of the church disagree on them - Selfish and unselfish rest - How everybodys vocation is to try to understand those things that really and supremely are - How changes in the dynamics of friendship can lead to deeper love - Death: our own and other peoples - How to guard and cultivate friendships without being selfish and possessive. Summing up, Dom Hubert writes: If the foregoing pages have any message at all it is an invitation to face the facts and not to lie down under modern pressures or ancient prejudices. There is such a lot that we take for granted and never for a moment question....If you watch and prayer you wont have the face to say youve never really seen the issues in their true terms. You wont have the face to plead the easy way out. Erecti moriamur. We have got to die, so let us die standing up.
