Letter #45, 2019: The Hidden Mystic

"During this past year I have been reading a book which has moved me a great deal. It is the journal of an unnamed priest who is devoted to contemplative prayer and who recounts the words he feels Jesus has spoken to him in his heart. I have found the book consoling and interesting in light of our present situation in the Church. The book is entitled "In Sinu Jesu" — "in the heart of Jesus." —Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, in a recent conversation, speaking about the book "In Sinu Jesu," which he has been reading

“Deep consolation and renewed gratitude for Him as he draws His friends to Himself — these are the fruits of following the meditations of this book. It will fill hearts with encouragement and joy.” —Father Hugh Barbour, P. Praem., Prior, St. Michael's Abbey of the Norbertine Fathers, in a note on the cover of the book "In Sinu Jesu"

"My Heart hath expected reproach and misery: and I looked for one that would grieve together with Me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort Me, and I found none." —Psalm 68:21, cited at the very beginning of the book "In Sinu Jesu." It is the Offertory prayer of the Mass of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

The Hidden Mystic

"Do you know who the author is?" I asked Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano a few days ago, after he told me he had been reading a book he appreciates very much.

The book has only "by a Benedictine monk" on the title page, without the name of an author.

We had been meeting together for a number of days of discussions about ecclesial and spiritual matters. The content of our talks will become the matter of a book to appear in a few weeks time.

"No," Archbishop Vigano replied. "The book is anonymous, and I have no indication of who the author is.

"But I read the book throughout the winter and spring, and it was a great consolation to me. If you can find out who the author is, let me know, so I may thank him.

"But the identity of the author is less important than what he tells us about his experience of prayer. And that is that the Lord is close to all who seek him, and will never abandon us."

In Sinu Jesu ("In the Heart of Jesus")

The archbishop was speaking about a little volume of reflections entitled In Sinu Jesu: When Heart Speaks to Heart, The Journal of a Priest at Prayer, which contains the words of Jesus that the author heard while in adoration from 2007 to 2016.

The book has become in the past three years a sort of phenomenon in Catholic circles.

It was published in English by Angelico Press in 2016, and has now appeared in eight different languages, including German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Czech.
