Typical of Fr. Dunne's writings, he engages with a eclectic list of great figures including: Dante, Augustine, Kant, Freud, Otto, Ghandi, St. Paul, Aquinas, etc.
Here are a few memorable lines:
"In plainsong there is no pulse, no beat, but there is the rhythm of the words. So too in a journey with God in time there is no counting of time but instead a living in the presence in the present" pg 108.
"We all have a continual conversation with ourselves, a conversation about our hopes and fears. Prayer, as I understand it, means letting that conversation with ourselves become a conversation with God, and this means turning our hopes and fears over to God, entrusting them to God" pg 18.
"Faith is seeing light with your heart when all your eyes see is darkness" pg 59.
