Discusses under 3 main headings the nature of prayer, the fundamental principles and the effect of progress on method, and the elements that make for progress. The second half treats of the more mechanical elements that go to make up prayer. Plenty of good practical direction from a master on the subject.

The Holy Spirit’s role in creation as the fountain of life and the ﬁrst of God’s gifts is studied along with the Spirit’s mission, divine ﬁliation, and the principles of supernatural growth.

Jesus Christ’s death on the Cross is the central act of human existence which links every act of suffering, self-giving, or self-denial with God Himself. The author, a priest who wrote on the eve of World War II, forcefully makes the connection between the Crucifixion as the horrible expiation for all sins and the need for ordinary faithful to willingly embrace suffering in its various forms to find their way to God. The author shows how the problem of obtaining happiness is intrinsically bound up with the problem of pain. Sacrifices undertaken for faith do not make one unhappy, if that faith is made a reality in the constant and ordinary activities of life. “Too many use their religion as medicine and not as food,” Leen writes. “They make of it a remedy for evil and not a means to good.”

Why the Cross?

"The True Vine and Its Branches" is a study of Jesus Christ as the new Adam, and the way in which all things human are re-established in Him. By the gift of incorporation into His Body and by the gift of His grace, each Christian lives and moves and IS in Him. This is the central mystery of our existence as "sons in the Son," the deepest source of our identity, our direction in life, our consolation, our ability to suffer, our promise of victory. "To be stamped with the image of a divine Christ is a title to glory far more exalted than the glory due to us were we to bear the image of a purely human head, even though a sinless one. When God pardoned, He pardoned magnificently. So far was He from being grudging in His concessions to submissive humanity. He loaded it with favors. He gave with a divine generosity. He did not content Himself with restoring what had been forfeited. He added superabundantly to His first gifts. God's incredible magnanimity brought it about that man, instead of losing all by the Fall, can profit exceedingly by it, if only he is willing to utilize all that has been won for him and placed at his disposal by the great Sacrifice of Jesus on the cross" (from the book). A spiritual classic from 1938.
