THE SIGN OF JONAS 1953 HB First Edition FREE Shipping

" The sign Jesus promised to the generation that did not
understand Him was the "sign of Jonas the prophet - that is
of His resurrection.The life of every monk, of every priest,
of every Christian is signed with the sign of Jonas, because
we all live by the power of Christ's resurrection. But I fear
that my own life is especially sealed with this great sign,
which baptism and monastic profession and priestly ordination
have burned into the roots of my being, becuase like Jonas himself
I find myself traveling toward my destiny in the belly of a paradox. "
