Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen, O.C.D., was born in Antwerp, Belgium, where he entered the Carmelite Order in 1944. He was sent to Sweden in 1967 to co-found a small contemplative community. His many books on the spiritual life have been translated into multiple languages. Among his works available in English are Into Your Hands, Father; Eternity in the Midst of Time; Bread That Is Broken; Mary in the Bible and in Our Lives; and The Holy Spirit, Fire of Divine Love, all published by Ignatius Press.
Father Stinissen's writing is profound enough for theologians, yet
accessible enough for anyone seeking a fuller and more meaningful
spiritual life.
-- Vinny Flynn, Author, 7 Secrets of the EucharistThe important
truths taught here by Father Stinissen are well served by the
simple beauty with which he explains them. Time is much more
complex than the way we perceive it from our limited perspective.
The ultimate understanding must be revealed by Christ, who entered
chronology from eternity and graciously gave us clues.
-- Fr. George Rutler, Author, Calm in Chaos: Catholic Wisdom for
Anxious TimesFather Stinissen's many references to Scripture on the
subject of time, his wide-ranging use of saintly and secular
thought, and his love for Saint Augustine's engagement with the
perplexity of passing time, make this book a wonderful spiritual
experience. We find ourselves provoked to remember the true
shortness of life, while glancing often toward the blessedness of
eternity, as we turn the pages of this very fine book.
-- Fr. Donald Haggerty, Author, The Contemplative Hunger
