By Edward Leen, C.S.Sp.

The supernatural life and influence of Jesus Christ is the underlying reality of human existence. This reality is accessible, not by means of reason or science, of ethical ideals or artistic inspirations, but by faith—adhering to Christ, accepting his commandments, and abiding in his love, safeguarded by the arms of his Church. And this is the Christian life. Following the lines of Sacred Scripture, Edward Leen reflects on the central mysteries and motifs of this life—the Incarnation, the preaching of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Paschal Mystery, the life of the Church, the Mass, traditions of prayer and asceticism, the Christian calling. In this life lies the basis for true peace and unity among mankind, the fulfillment of Christ’s own prayer: “Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou hast given me; that they may be one, as we also are.”

First published as The True Vine and Its Branches in 1938, Leen’s The Vine and the Branches reveals rich veins of both spiritual counsel and practical applications for growth in the Christian life, for appreciation of the Church, the Sacraments, and the Blessed Mother, and—above all—for abiding faithfully and fruitfully in the true Vine.

I am the vine; you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. (John 15:5)

 

Edward Leen (1885–1944), an Irish Catholic priest of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit, was a missionary and scholar, as well as prolific, widely-read author on spiritual matters. Besides The Vine and the Branches, his other books include In the Likeness of Christ, Progress in Mental Prayer, and The Voice of a Priest.
