Till We Have Faces Madeleine L'Engle Loneliness

Loneliness

is a book of liturgies for seasons of dying and grieving--liturgies such as "A Liturgy for the Scattering of Ashes" or "A Liturgy for the Loss of a Spouse" or "A Liturgy for the Wake of a National Tragedy

and Wangerin’s steady hand carries us through the wasteland of the human heart and lands us squarely in the grace and mercy of God

so often mistaken for a kind of misanthropy or even nihilism

I pray my kids will grow more aware of God’s love for them

Till We Have Faces Madeleine L'Engle LonelinessThis tale of two princesses one beautiful and one unattractive and of the struggle between sacred and profane love is Lewiss reworking of the myth of Cupid and Psyche and one of his most enduring works.
