"To a man living an interior life, all things can work together for good; and no failure in the ministry is for him really a failure. Apart from sin, his worst failures will be his greatest success, for it is by abiding in Christ that His apostles are to bring forth fruit, and there is no better way of abiding in Christ than by doing the will of God." - Dom Eugene Boylan OCSO

The Spiritual Life of the Priest was initially produced in 1949 as a manual for priests who were busy serving in the United States, specifically with American situations in mind. It is written in an approachable style that can only be produced by a genuine spiritual teacher.

It emphasizes the practical facets of the priest's inner life, such as mental prayer, prayerful Office recitation, reverent Mass celebration, Marian devotion and consecration, recreation, and self-denial exercises. In order for priests to authentically practice their priesthood as Christ's friends, the book's last chapters offer theological underpinnings for the inner life.

For priests who, because of increased workloads, find it harder than ever to maintain their devotion to prayer and the practice of virtue, this book continues to be a "must-have." This brief but well researched book has a lot to teach laypeople who desire to cultivate more intense lives of prayer and virtue.
