Parable of a Good Samaritan

The sequence of one hundred stories, illustrated by artist Bill Shurlitf, captures the real Father Guanella in action and in ecstasy. They are almost bedtime stories, but they did not put me to sleep. They touched me, inspired me and challenged me at the same time.

This is the nature of these parables. Some are humorous, some engaging, others captivating, surprising and amazing. All of them reveal Father Guanella’s communion with God, trust in Divine Providence and love for the poor.

It’s hard to define holiness.

This book taught me that holiness is God’s masterful work in a human heart to carve it in His own image and likeness.
