Already Within: Divining the Hidden Spring is a collection of Daniel O’Leary’s contributions to the Tablet over the past three years. It contains the best writing of the author, a summing up of the main thrust of his books and articles from the past and present. The articles, arranged in months and themes, sometimes refer to the seasons of the year, sometimes to the seasons of the liturgy, and sometimes to the seasons of the heart. All the pieces begin with very real life-situations and then the author explores and discovers the compassionate presence of an incarnate and unconditionally-loving God at the heart of all our experiences.

Midlands priest Fr Paddy Byrne has long been outspoken in his progressive views about how the Church hierarchy should become a more radical voice in Irish society. In his first book he draws on his years of parish ministry and pastoral care to outline the challenges we face, while offering hope and inspiration through reflections, stories, parables and prayers to help readers to overcome life’s obstacles and lead them towards what he sees as a positive future.

This book is divided into two parts, Devotion and Reflection. In part one, the author invites the reader to dip in and out looking for a favourite prayer, poem or hymn. Some poems, dating back over a thousand years have been newly translated, others have been written especially for this book. In part two the author illustrates how Mary is honoured not only among Catholics like St Francis of Assisi and Cardinal Newman but among Orthodox Christians of the East. It may surprise many readers that she is revered, too, by great Protestants like Martin Luther, as well as by Muslims, beginning with the Prophet Mohammed. A wonderful collection and ideal gift for all who share a devotion to Mary.

Using the wisdom of Anthony de Mello, one of the finest spiritual teachers of modern times, Fr John Callanan, an Irish Jesuit, outlines how to deal with these darker moments.
