Hints of Heaven / Fr. George William Rutler

Christ knew that the splendour of Heaven was too great for us to bear just now, and so he used parables as clues to the mystery of Paradise. In them are hints of Heaven, and they offer profound spiritual advice meant to guide us on the road to eternal glory. In our age, Christ's Parables are often reduced to exercises in moralism, but as Father shows us, there is so much more to them, e.g. Tares in the Field of the Lord: Why it's necessary that scandals beset the Church - and how it brings about a stronger harvest; The Yeast: How God speaks in a gentle and inward voice which melts the soul, and how you could be drowning Him out; The Two Sons: The dangers of agnosticism. Are you guilty? You may be astonished at the answer.
