This is a classic book of Father Feeney. It contains 14 Catholic essays, profoundly religious and written by a theologian with literary sagacity and whimsical humor. Fr Feeney is considered one of the greatest apostles of the 20th century. In the February 17, 1994 issue of Catholic New York, John Cardinal O’ Connor began "An Informal Pastoral on Lent" with this paragraph: "Long before he ran into a bit of trouble, from which it was obvious that he would recover, given his whimsical sense of humor, Fr. Leonard Feeney, S.J., wrote some of the most delightful things ever published in our land. Fish on Friday was one of the best. It first appeared 60 years ago, and never a Lent goes by without my renewing my friendship with it . . ." Loreto Publications is delighted and proud to put this American Catholic classic back in print. Too many generations have been deprived of Father Feeney’s charming literary perceptiveness when his poems and essays were mysteriously removed from Catholic schools on account of his heroic defense of a defined doctrine of the faith.
