Christ the Life of the Soul

Christ, the Life of the Soul is a modern spiritual classic. Drawing upon the Scriptures, the Liturgy, and Doctors of the Church, Blessed Columba Marmion demonstrates the path towards freedom from self-bondage and the enlargement of our souls—to realize, with St. Paul, that “I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.”As Blessed Marmion puts it: “Christ is the Alpha and Omega of all sanctity.”

Blessed Marmion shows us how to not sin, and to live for God, and the primary sources of our spiritual nourishment in the Eucharist and prayer.

Perhaps Pope Benedict XV said it best: “Read this—it is the pure doctrine of the Church … and singularly conducive to excite and maintain the flame of Divine love in the soul.”
