Charles Williams, friend of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, and member of the Inklings, has a wonderful book called “Descent of the Dove”, all about the Holy Spirit’s role in the Church. It consists of nine chapters. I am summarizing and commenting upon each chapter each day of the nine day Great Novena in preparation for Pentecost and the actual “descent of the dove”.

The commentaries are a bit too long to post here, but you can follow them on my blog, beginning with the first one: http://thwordinc.blogspot.com/2011/06/descent-of-dove-i.html

And please join Joseph Pearce, my actors and me as we look at the Catholicism of the play “Hamlet” this weekend at the Portsmouth Institute Conference in Rhode Island.  See http://www.portsmouthabbey.org/page/6829/ for more info.
