The old formula about grace being founded on nature has never led to any detailed and deep seated realization that the supernatural life echoes the patterns and processes of natural growth. Ignorance and confusion about this has been a formidable barrier for many men and women who are truly desirous of achieving sanctity. Furthermore, the insights of the newer human sciences often seem to contradict the ancient wisdom. Monsignor Michael offers today's Christian an orderly and modern treatment of the principles and practices of spiritual growth. In his emphasis on the need for a solid natural foundation, he views the perennial problems of spirituality in a refreshingly new light. The virgutes and the means of perfection are seen in the community setting of true Christian development. Although great personal effort is always required no one achieves sanctity by himself: success or failure in striving for holiness affects both the individual and the community. It provides a New Day for Christians: a meaningful and readily understood guide to modern spirituality.
