An anthology of Brother André’s Conference talks from 1997- 2008 arranged in chronological order. Some people have an easier time learning if the subjects at hand vary. These twenty-three lectures are not at all organized as far as having a common formal object of inquiry. They are random topics. And, this lack of continuity, makes the entire collection more palatable for those who are not inclined to tackle a lengthy course on the same subject. One lecture deals with the modern crisis in the Church and the reaction of the recent popes to that crisis. Other talks treat of the Mystical Body, Baptism, Abraham and the continuity of religion, the spiritual life, Our Lady La Reconquistadora, our doctrinal crusade, the conversion of America, and the value of Catholic friendship. There is much wisdom to savor here, and it’s all so Catholic.
