What is Sacraments of Love : a Prayer Journal about?

Like Love Affair, this spiritual diary is not a book of prayers but an experience of praying. It is prayer as it happens. Andrew Greeley shares with God - whom he calls "My Love" - his wonder at the signs of Her love shining in creation. He glimpses Her presence in city shadows as well as desert light. He hears Her whisper in a wind that sweeps over a lake, and in the whistle of a train passing by in the night. And he perceives Her beauty in people: "All of them are sacraments of Your love!" What makes the diary extraordinary is the extraordinary year it captures - a year in which Father Greeley works hard behind-the-scenes to help victims of sexual abuse by clergy. It is a year in which he reconciles with his archbishop and helps the Church deal realistically with a growing scandal. It is a year of recognition that surprises him, and a year of attack that hurts him. But most of all, Sacraments of Love points the author - and the reader - to a non-punitive, all-loving God who moves everywhere - a God who wants to touch each of us with Her love.
