This spiritual classic that answers the key questions about reparation: Why reparation should be made?; Who ought to make it?; and How should it be made?
The great Jesuit guide Raoul Plus wrote in an era of immense suffering...war...early death...and religious indifference that co-existed with true and healthy Catholicism. He called not for scientific advance but for spiritual maturity in response to the Divine Knock. Otherwise, he admonished, we might perish eternally.
Fr. Plus explained every facet of reparation for individual penitents, including: In what reparation consists; Why Our Lord wants it and makes it a fundamental obligation; Separate chapters about priestly, religious and lay reparation; How to grasp, and teach others, the terrible seriousness of human life; Dozen Scriptural passages that anchor reparation theology; Links to Holy Mass and why you cannot attend one without seeing to the other; 3 factors indispensable to developing the spirit of reparation; Compensating for the sins of others: how it can be; Panoply of leading Churchmen (and several women) teaching about reparation; The average Catholic's perplexing view of his life, and of the spiritual life generally; How daily pitfalls can undermine the entire schema of a soul, and God's plan for it; The best crosses; What divine justice means, and does not mean; Difference between healthy and unhealthy mortifications we might take on; What the elite of Christians grasp; Where and why we find Catholics who live to serve God and Mammon; In Case of Death, heartrending letter from father to children; and Duty to pay attention to humble, lonely people in our midst.
