This Unbearable Holiday: Finding light in the darkness of the Pandemic - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

2020 was a year when the normal rhythms of life were interrupted. We were given an extended holiday that we never asked for and eventually came to resent. It felt very dark. But light kept breaking in as, facing unaccustomed vulnerability, we witnessed so much that was good in human nature: resilience, inventiveness, kindness and compassion. Now the questions are: How will we fare once the holiday is over? Will the light in the darkness herald a new dawn?

For a year, starting in March 2020, David Bracewell wrote a fortnightly blog in which he charted the events of lockdown. Now, as we tread warily from under the shadow of Covid-19, this timely book gathers a selection of the blogs arranged under the seasons of the year. Each season begins with a poem and a brief comment and ends with a longer meditation reflecting on how the Pandemic might shape our thinking about the goodness of God, the well-being of society, the future of the Church and our own personal journey.

This Unbearable Holiday will be welcomed by all who are looking for a message of hope in these dark times. It is written with David Bracewell’s characteristic warmth and gentle wit and will inspire and challenge readers to face the future with confidence and hope.
