Synopsis
This is a collection of ten reflections focusing on one of the central figures of the apparition at Knock - the Lamb of God. The author uses each reflection as a spiritual exercise, deepening the reader's understanding of the Lamb as the continual giver of mercy and hope. He presents Knock as, at the same time, a Marian shrine and a shrine of the Lamb of God.
Fr Lane examines the uniqueness of the shrine in helping us to cope with the contradictions and tensions in our daily lives, and to relate them to the sacraments of Eucharist, Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick that are celebrated at Knock with much faith and devotion. In the daily movement surrounding the historic gable wall, he points to many expressions of the mystery of the church. Here is a timeless book which will be invaluable as a rich source of spiritual nourishment.
