Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from William Pardow of the Company of Jesus
Father Pardow's sermons and retreats abound with unconscious, but sincere and intimate, self revelation. He drew his instructions to others from the depths of his personal experience and self-analysis. He rarely spoke directly of his own difficulties, but he understood the difficulties of others with so wide a range of vision that his advice to them may reveal, as it were by induction, some of the formative processes of his own soul. I have therefore tried to let him speak for him self wherever possible. Owing to the character of the notes, so much piecing together and filling in was required that direct quotation has not always been possible, but wherever quotation marks have been used without a reference in the course of these pages, the words are Father Par dow's own. In many of the chapters, notably the one entitled Ambulare, much more of the text is drawn from Father Pardow's notes than would appear from the quotation marks; indeed almost the whole description of Jesuit education has been taken from his writings.
