Over the course of his time as a simply professed Dominican Friar, Sebastian Condon wrote an article for the local Catholic Newspaper once a month. Those articles are collected here for the first time as a complete volume. They offer a snapshot of religious life at the beginning of the twenty-first century, written by a young friar. Some articles are amusing and light-hearted in tone, others are more weighty and theological. Taken as a whole, these monthly installments demonstrate the lived experience of an eager young friar gradually becoming more reflective, and growing in awareness of the complexities of life and faith.
