Join Donal Neary SJ as he journeys through a year, with reflections and observations from his editorials in The Sacred Heart Messenger magazine over the ten years of his stewardship. Arranged by season and theme, Fr Neary casts a benign, yet observant eye on everyday life, significant celebrations, and the changing pattern of life in our increasingly pressurised world. His extensive and varied pastoral experience enables him to explore beyond the rhetoric and beneath the surface of contemporary events – and our reactions to them – to reveal that compassion and generosity in our dealings with others inevitably leads to the happiness found in the peace and contentment that we all crave.
