This is the second book by Ernesto Cardenal that I have read in recent months. This priest from Nicaragua, who started out religious life here with the Trappists under Thomas Merton, and later returned to his native land, has a very cosmological outlook, linking our lived reality as disciples of Christ with all creation, not only here on earth, but in the cosmos as well. All of this flows out of God's love. A very interesting book, very much a meditation on different topics and aspects of God's love. I have had these two books of his for a while, and am so glad I was able to read them. By the way, the preface of this book was written by Thomas Merton. It was first published in Spanish in 1970 and in English in 1974. Merton passed away in December 1968.
