Overview

One of Fr. Faber's greatest books; and definitely his most encouraging; for it was written precisely to help us save our souls by ""serving Jesus out of love;"" for ""everything comes easy to love."" Gives us powerful motives for loving God. Says if we did; it would be with us as it was with Jacob working to earn the hand of Rachel: ""Years would seem but days; for the greatness of our love."" Makes a person feel rich to be a Catholic. This is Fr. Faber at his best!

Author Information

Frederick William Faber lived from 1814-1863 and grew up in Westmorland, England. Though he held to Calvinism in his youth, Frederick had given it up 1837, when he became a fellow of the National Scholars Foundation. He wrote many hymns, poems and other works, including Faith of Our Fathers, The Pilgrims of the Night, The Eternal Father, All for Jesus, Spiritual Conferences, and The Foot of the Cross. Frederick Faber also founded the Wilfridian religious community at St. Wilfrid's, with John Henry Newman as the eventual superior when the order merged with the Oratory of St. Philip Neri. He died on September 26, 1863.
