Three sections are arranged around the themes of the three \"theological virtues\" faith, portrayed as a source of strength in times of trial; hope, the darkest in the book, dealing with matters of the body's frailty, illness, social discrimination, and the search for a way to live within the constraints of society; and love, offering a panoply of outward-looking characters who give to others in radical or personal ways. The volume ends with a cycle of Franciscan poems that offer a model for the Christian life, not simply in terms of individual moments but also as a complete life-cycle of practice and prayer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCommunion of Saints \u003c\/em\u003erepresents an unlikely achievement: deeply spiritual and delicate poems that speak directly to our modern moment.\u003cbr\u003e --Yehoshua November, author of \u003cem\u003eGod's Optimism\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan L.
