Jim Manney of Loyola Press has an interesting blog called People of the Book, which focuses on Catholic book publishing. He has a recent post about a new book by Jeremy Driscoll, OSB entitled A Monk's Alphabet: Moments of Stillness in a Turning World. Here is an excerpt:

God so hates religious smugness and self-satisfaction and thecertainty that the other is a sinner and will go to hell that he wouldempty hell completely of the sinners who deservedly belong there andplace the smug one there all alone to pass an eternity of painfulastonishment, learning that God has mercy on whom he will. Should somefaint sense of desiring to adore the One who is so merciful crack evenslightly the bitterness of this terribly misused virtuous one, maybethen even hell would be emptied of him.

In short, it is not for me to judge, not for me to presume topronounce on others. The last shall be first, and the first last.
