Full Description


The wonders and mysteries of sacramental life are celebrated in this distinctive collection of essays by eight acclaimed Catholic writers. In Signatures of Grace, Andre Dubus, Mary Gordon, Patricia Hampl, Ron Hansen, Paula Huston, Paul Mariani, Murray Bodo, O.F.M., and Katherine Vaz share the personal experiences that have deepened the significance of the sacraments in their spiritual and everyday lives. In "Baptism", Vaz weaves images of water, creation, and rebirth to evoke the eternal readiness of the soul to receive grace. Writing on Penance, Hampl recalls her earliest confessions, when tallying up a decent number of disobediences was a challenge. These and other essays weave the evolution of the sacraments through the centuries with each author's unique personal history. Inspiring and deeply felt, Signatures of Grace is an invitation to revisit, or discover for the first time, the profound mysteries at the heart of Catholic life.
