Description
As advertised, this series of retreat talks represents the late Monsignor Knox at his best. The talks are characterized by his customary personal directness, sincerity, intelligence, urbanity, wit, charm, gentleness and respect for his audience. Addressed to teen-age students, the meditative chats deal in the main with the inevitable subjects appropriate for any retreat, but the thought and style are unique. Emphasis is on the positive virtues and on personal religion. Where the negative has to be discussed, the stress is on wrong attitudes and commonly overlooked faults. The rhetorical bombast of the ""seasoned retreat master"" is totally absent. This book can profitably be used as a model by retreat masters and be read as a form of making a private retreat by any young Catholic.
