- Book Synopsis
- This series of heartfelt, thought-provoking meditations originated as daily talks focussing a week-long pre-Lent retreat given for the Sisters of the Love of God at Fairacres Convent in 1982. The intensity of Fr Coutts' words focus us on God and his Son, on his mercy and redeeming love for us, no matter how unworthy we think we are. Indeed our very unworthiness is a matter for rejoicing, since the most unworthy are also the most blessed. There are frequent instances in the text that ask us to pause to consider or meditate; this is an aid to prayerful meditation on our lives and the gifts of the Spirit rather than simply a narrative, and it can form the basis for reflection and spiritual growth at any time.
- About The Author
- Revd Canon James Coutts (d. 2016) was vicar of St Mary's Monmouth in the 1980s and 90s. He was instrumental in the restoration of Monmouth Priory and attracted outstanding people to his mission in Monmouth. Victor de Waal, the former dean of Canterbury, was effectively his assistant; he nurtured the vocation of Una Kroll, one of the first women ordained a priest in the Anglican church; Rowan Williams, then bishop of Monmouth, also took part in services. In retirement he read Shakespeare, led retreats and helped out with services at Ty Mawr Convent nearby.
