The Wayside Stream: Reconciliation. by Glynn, Paul - 2003

Marist Fathers Books, 2003. Very Good+. The Wayside Stream" is really a gathering of stories about people who exper ienced reconciliation. Some of them have been deeply hurt and though they c ould never forgive, or come to peaceful terms with the wounds, with the inj ustice of it all. They tell how they approached the problem, were helped to overcome it, and speak of the great peace and new freedom they experienced. Some of them became spiritual guides for others precisely because they had suffered. The healing of memories is a way of prayer that helped the author and some of the ones who tell their story in this book. Dr Nagai, the hero of the spiritual renewal in Nagasaki after the A-bomb left a simple but effective piece of advice: "Let us be kind to one another, because we are all lonely.".
