The Spiritual Life - Writings of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre

This is a beautiful hardbound with a quality that makes it a worthy addition to any library. The content offers timeless insights of Archbishop Lefebvre's commitment to the beauty of Catholic tradition.

The book is a keepsake for many reasons, most importantly for the inspiring words of the archbishop. Everything from the list of contents to the extensive footnotes is exceptionally laid out. Finally, it is a great addition to my library because of the beautiful cloth binding, including the gold lettering and embossing on the covers, as well as the quality of the paper.

Beautiful book by a very important man.

An excellent presentation of the Archbishop’s teachings - the teachings of the Catholic Church - as applied to the soul’s life, the life of prayer and virtue. The Catholic faith is something eminently positive; it is a treasure of the highest truths and a code which urges us to live our lives according to these highest truths. Sadly, because of today’s lack of faith and the crisis in the Church, so many of us view the Catholic faith as a matter of NOT believing what the Protestants teach and NOT doing what the Modernists do (etc.). How about believing what Christ DID teach us and imitating the way he DID live his life? That’s what the Catholic faith is all about! And that’s what is presented in this book, in a simple yet profound way.

The four stars are for the binding. If it’s hardcover it should have sewn signatures.

But it is sharp, I have to say that. Thanks, Angelus!

This is good from the point of view that this represents his spirituality on the virtues. It does not however represent his writings on the battles he fought against the conciliar church. He would not have written this without mentioning the errors of Vatican II on every other page. Lefevbre upheld tradition and condemned error simultaneously. You cannot separate the two.
