by Brian Doyle '78 (Loyola Press)
A series of essays that capture the Catholic lay spirit, reminding
readers of the bountiful blessings , wonders and mysteries of
the world. From the questions 8-year-olds ask in Catholic education
class about Communion -- "What if I barf afterward and it comes
up again? Is that a sin? -- to the couple who held hands and leaped
from the burning World Trade Center, the author celebrates the
grace that is part of life.
Doyle is the editor of Portland Magazine and an occasional
contributor to this magazine.
