The death of one of the great modern spiritual writers

Posted By Eric Sammons On September 28, 2010 @ 7:04 am In Books,Spirituality | Comments Disabled

Fr. Thomas Dubay, SM ^[1] has passed on to his reward ^[2].

Fr. Dubay is most known for his work Fire Within ^[3], which is a classic of spirituality and which I would recommend to anyone who is serious about deepening their life of prayer. However, it is not even my favorite Dubay book. That would be Happy Are You Poor ^[4], in which Fr. Dubay argues (persuasively, in my mind) that every Christian should live a life of poverty. And if you think you know what he means by that, I challenge you to read the book to actually find out.

May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
