Now for the first time in nearly a century, this classic set of meditations on the Liturgical Year are back in print Written while Mother Loyola was bedridden with a hip fracture, these devotions bring us the urgency of living our life "With the Church, " for we "know not the day nor the hour."
The Irish Monthly back in 1924 had this to say about "With the Church: "
"Father Thurston tells us that forty years ago Mother Loyola, when bringing out anonymously her first book on Holy Communion, and being anxious to get ecclesiastical recommendation for it, asked him to write a short preface. The favourable reception accorded by the Catholic public to the numerous books which she has brought out since that time has amply justified Fr. Thurston's judgment in recommending the authoress's work. This latest book of hers consists of a series of reflections on the feasts of the year from Advent to the Ascension. Her thoughts are always well-grounded and ingenious, and their expression is clear and graceful, with a strong personal charm. They are musings jotted down just as they occur to her devotional spirit and not simply as dictated by a resolution to follow a certain line."
