This is the classic book of daily meditations on the interior life, revised and expanded to correspond with the feasts of the Catholic liturgical year, issued in four separate volumes. Volume I covers from the Sunday of Advent through the Eighth Week of Ordinary Time. Volume II, from Ash Wednesday through Pentecost. Volume III, from the Ninth Sunday through the Twenty-first Week of Ordinary Time. Volume IV, from the Twenty-second Sunday through the Thirty-fourth Week of Ordinary Time. Divine Intimacy is considered a classic throughout the Christian world, a work prepared with loving and conscientious labor by one of the great Catholic teachers of our time. This revision of his famous work vibrates with the freshness of the springtime of grace stirred up by Vatican II and inspired by the reneed impulse to a more vital return to Sacred Scripture. Of all the books of meditation available today, this series is the most practical, liturgically and spiritually formative, and helpful for true communion with God.

"'Where can I find a good meditation book?' My answer to that difficult question is: Divine Intimacy, by Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D. I have used it now for two years. I believe it is the best meditation book there is. The four volumes are based on the Teresian or Carmelite method of mental prayer (presence of God, reading, reflection, colloquy). Priests, religious, and lay persons who want to make progress in mental prayer will find a spiritual treasure in Divine Intimacy. There is an added bonus for priests: the truly Catholic spiritual doctrine in these daily short meditations will help them to give inspiring daily and Sunday homilies. I recommend it very highly - every priest should have a copy."
