RELIGION
TRANSFIGURED WORLD, by
Sister M. Laurentia Digges,
C.S.J., (Farrar, Straus, and Cud-j
ahy $4.00), reviewed by Cecilia
L. Hines. This book deals with the I
words, gestures, and symbols used
in worship, arid if only for that i
reason, is welcome to all who!
live the liturgy. It has an added
attraction for those Catholics who
also have a love and deep inter
est in the wonders of God’s cre
ated world and'are eager to in
crease their knowledge of the Mass
and the Sacraments. Sometimes |
i
they just do not know how to
go about it. The catechism alone
does not suffice. Looking into
the world of beauty and learning
more about it becomes a joyous
adventure; creation takes on
deeper meaning.
Under Sister Laurentia’s ex
pert guidance, the reader is
shown that the liturgy is God’s
art. He uses our familiar earth,
air, fire, and water. In this man
ner our world undergoes a rev
elation—it becomes a transfig
ured world.” Using art principles
in looking at the liturgy, Sister
Laurentia discusses the four qua-

lities of . good art (unity, variety,
significance, power), then devel- j
ops the. value of design, theme,]
and symbol. With Christ as the
center of unity and the circle
as the predominant symbol, the
principles of art and literature!
are used to give .the sacred mys- ]
teries a deeper and more beauti-!
ful meaning to those who partici
pate in them.
Although at times the detail
and the direct attention drawn
to what is being developed is a
little too obvious, the unity of
the context, the richness of in
spiration and suggestion are
enough to recommend this book
to the serious reader. The author,
who was born in Roswell, New
Mexico, holds her M.A. and Ph.D.
from the Catholic University of
America, and teaches English and
theology (liturgy) at Mount St.
Mary’s College in Los Angeles.
THE CHURCH AND CREA
TION, by Luis Colomer, O.F.M.,
translated by Palmer L. Rockey,
Ph.D., (St. Anthony Guild $2.50).
reviewed by Rev. John Schroder,
S.J. This scholarly analysis of
the Church’s position in the uni
versal order of things is tho
rough, although perhaps too ab
stract for the layman. It presents
the relationship between the
Church and the visible and in
visible world. Of special excel
lence is the treatment of the
Church and the family, showing
the beautiful influence Christ’s
Church should have on family
life.
The. following' is a typical ex
ample of the author’s ease in
handling a delicate problem: “It
is impossible for a soul in grace
not to possess the Holy Spirit
in a vital manner. And it is im-
! possible to possess the Divine
Spirit without being in the
Church—that is, the vast multi-
t u d e of souls supernaturallv vi
vified by Personal Love. Only
God, who understands and pene
trates the secrets of human
hearts, knows who culpably re
sists the truth or who malicious
ly excludes it. Only God, who
loves men intimately and desires
that all of them should be saved,
knows the paths through which
grace is directed to souls and to

THE TRIPLE WAY, by Saint
Bonaventure, (St. Anthony Guild
$1.50), reviewed by Leo J. Zuber.
A tidy volume of only 70 pages,
this is a segment of Franciscan
spirituality, specifically St. Bon-
aventures’s teaching on the three
ways of spiritual life. These three
ways are the. purgative way, the
illuminative way, and the per
fective way. Purgation leads one
to peace; illumination draws one
to truth, and, the good saint
writes, “Perfection is the same
as charity.” The text is prose ar
ranged an idea to a line so that
it appears to be poetry. While
the book has meditative quality,
its real value lies in the guide
lines offered for daily living, for
