Böcker av Brenda Peddigrew

Glimpses . . . from the longer view is Brenda Peddigrew's seventh book of published poetry. In this one, the "glimpses" of the title are visions and insights from a senior age, which are not possible from a younger time. They come from the easing of work demands, travel, and unending needs from the external world. Glimpses are those lights that shine when work is eased, and inner openings-unexpected-offer new insights.

The Luminous Ordinary is a personal and inviting reflection on the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy Catherine McAuley in Dublin, Ireland, in 1831. The remarkable growth of her early groups of women, serving the poor, establishing schools and hospitals all over the world, and inviting a personal spirituality that is more than relevant todaythese are the focus and invitation of this booklet. Reading it, you are invited to engage the realities of her time as their relevance shines through in ours. This is a reflection on the power of women to change the world.
