Secrets of the Spirit: Wisdom from Luis Martinez

In this little collection of his writings, Archbishop Luis Martinez (1881-1956) shows the way to develop a deep, loving relationship with God with his hope-filled message of God's love and concern. Without glossing over the reality of sin and suffering, Martinez reminds us that "the work, pain, and sufferings of this world do not constitute the definitive atmosphere of our souls. Our atmosphere is rest in God." The Holy Spirit guides us in our struggle to grow in union with Jesus.
