Dom Columba Marmion: A Biography
- Used Book in Good Condition
Columba Marmion (1858-1923) was one of the most influential spiritual writers of the early twentieth century. His trilogy, Christ, The Life of the Soul, Christ, in His Mysteries and Christ, The Life of the Monk, has been translated into thirteen languages. Born and educated in Dublin, Marmion considered himself as being in the long line of Irish missionary priest-monks, such as St Columba of Iona or St Columbanus of Bobbio, who underwent voluntary exile for the love of Christ. His one aim in life was: To bring people to God and to bring God to people.
He had been ordained as a priest for the Dublin diocese before becoming a monk, and his memory lives on today in Dundrum, Co Dublin, where he spent some time as a curate, and in Clonliffe College, where he was Professor of Philosophy for several years. However, it is as Abbot of Maredsous, in Belgium, that he is known to most people. Besides governing his monastery, Marmion travelled throughout Belgium, France, England and Ireland preaching retreats. At the same time, he carried on a vast correspondence, offering spiritual advice to those who sought his help.
There was a very human side to this saintly monk. Fr Tierney brings him to life again, in a book which will interest all those who relish a good mixture of history and spirituality, the human and the divine.
