The first part retells a number of Russian spiritual parable Catherine remembers from her youth before the Communist revolution forced her from her home.
The second part is series of tales recounting God's providence and men's conversion during the the Great Depression era when Catherine ran Friendship House in the inner cities to feed (both physically and spiritually) the poor and homeless. From the touching story of a young couple with a baby who showed up homeless like the Holy Family on Catherine's doorstep Christ Mass Eve to the atheist who, after God answered his challenge, discerned a vocation to priesthood -- the reader is left spiritually inspired.
The third part is a series of parables dealing with Christian virtue which Catherine wrote to assist a holy Trappist monk who was recuperating at Madonna House after suffering a series of severe seizures.
All are heartwarming stories which can be shared with the family.

In this work, Catherine calls us first to prayer, secondly to submission to our legitimate Church authority, and thirdly to serve the poor. In so doing, we live the Gospel without compromise. As she broadens these themes, Catherine's Russian background combines with her experience serving the poor in North American inner cities as well as her silent spiritual retreats in the Canadian wilderness to provide the reader with fresh insight into the spiritual life. From this, a theme of servitude emerges, in which we serve both God and our fellow man out of love of the cross.
I strongly recommend this book.
