The Upward Arrow

The subject of this book is, in Fr. Colum's own words, "holiness in the domestic battle," that age-old struggle to uphold the sacred amidst the secular.

At the center of his wisdom on the topic is his gifted ability to turn life experience into meaningful story. As the fifth of nine boys to loving "spiritual warrior" parents, as a novice in the religious life steeped in the teachings of the great spiritual masters, and as a priest who formed trusted friendships with many young people, he has been a witness to many souls searching for truth and beauty in the divine. His aptitude for absorbing life's moments and sharing them in witty and wise stories sets him apart as an extraordinary bestower of sage advice.

Not only will his words propel you forth in your upward journey, but so will his example as a perceptive Christian who never fails to see God's hand in all moments of life.
