In the last twenty years, Orthodox Catholics have come to expect their art to be necessarily about beauty. They expect it always and everywhere to lift one up, to be tinged with, to linger in the dimly-lit rooms of old-moneyed Europe, to be passed around among the best families, among like-minded gnostics, generous Jansenists.

May they give Jesus glory, whatever their success.

In this book we see Bossis move toward her last passage, and we are privileged to see Our Lord lovingly lay the groundwork for their ecstatic meeting. We...
