Whether you're a monk or a layman, Abbot Columba Marmion, will help you understand the nature of the perfection to which God has called you. Abbot Marmion also wanted this book (as he explained in 1922) to increase "the esteem of the religious vocation sometimes misunderstood by our age; to help some chosen ones to realize in themselves the call of grace, or to triumph over the obstacles that natural affections or the spirit of the world oppose to its call."
Bishop Tissier de Malerais says of Archbishop Lefebvre that in 1935 "he went on retreat to one of his favorite Benedictine monasteries, Maredsous Abbey, where he wanted to soak up the teachings of Dom Marmion. The famous Abbot had died six years previously in the odor of sanctity but his spiritual treasures, it seemed to him, were being forgotten."
