Seelos: The Cumberland Years

Rate this book
Blessed Francis Seelos’ indefatigable work ethic in Baltimore led to an almost fatal illness; his survival led Redemptorist superiors to move him elsewhere in Maryland for less demanding duties, but a close encounter with death only emboldened him to minister with even greater zeal. Impacted by a nation torn asunder in a civil war, and challenged by dynamics within his own Redemptorist Congregation, the concentrated years between 1857 and 1865 encapsulate Father Seelos at his busiest! Amid today’s fast-paced lifestyle, read this inspiring account of how Father Seelos retained his trademark prayerful and playful spirituality, despite threefold tasks, trials and tribulations in Cumberland.
