The acclaimed spiritual writer, Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen, presents powerful and inspiring reflections on the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Holy Trinity, showing the crucial importance for us to have a strong devotion to the Spirit. Before his Ascension to heaven, the Lord Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom, grace and strength to live a deep Christian life. In this work, Fr. Stinissen illustrates how the Holy Spirit is God’s own love, "the fire of divine love", and he desires to live in us so that we can love God and others with his love. As the Holy Spirit cane down upon the early Church at Pentecost to strengthen the apostles to set the world ablaze with God’s love and truth, so he wants to do the same with us. Fr. Stinissen discusses the nature & characteristics of the Holy Spirit, the place of the Spirit in one's personal spiritual life, spiritual discernment, and the role of the Spirit in the Church and in ecumenism. He says that the Holy Spirit is the great ecumenist. If we let him live in and through us, we grow in unity, whether we will it or not. It is his "charism" to make all things one. He makes the Father and the Son one God. He wants to make all denominations into one holy Church, and all people into one body. Views: 545
Between the First and Second World Wars, there was a growth of fascism in Britain and anxiety about revolution was in the air. Concerns of a possible Fascist attempt to overthrow the established order were high, not to mention the rise of Hitler and the threat of invasion. With secret clubs and clandestine meetings now a threat, the security services decided to infiltrate their ranks. Sir Barry Domvile had served with honor during the First World War and had risen to Director of Naval Intelligence. He became involved with Oswald Mosley and other far right leaders, also visiting prominent Nazis in Germany, with whom he became enamored and forming 'The Link', a far right, pro-German organization. Concerns were raised and in 1940 he, along with his wife and son, were detained and imprisoned without trial under Regulation 18B of the Defence (General) Regulations 1939, under suspicion of being involved in a secret plot to bring in a Fascist Government. Hitler's Munich Man gives a detailed account of Domvile's background, detention and hearings that were held behind closed doors and reveals the extent of his Fascism, pro-German attitudes and anti-Semitism. The first book to throw a spotlight on the saga, it examines his writings, both open and issued under a pseudonym, and considers the legitimacy of his detention. With photographs from the German archives, substantial coverage using the Secret Service files, Domvile’s personal diaries and other sources, the book will illuminate and inform the reader.
