Taking the famous Gerard Manley Hopkins poem on vocation ‘As Kingfishers Catch Fire’ and the Lord’s Prayer as its framework, For This I Came offers seventy reflections on the spirituality of priesthood to encourage and sustain all in ministry.

Wyn Beynon brings a depth of wisdom and tools for reflection in the form of short poetic and prayerful aphorisms. Memorable, profound, challenging and assuring, his writing is a rich source for meditation and for growth in character and ministry. Eschewing measures of success and failure and affirming the nature of the priestly calling, he brings a countercultural voice shaped by forty years of ministry and helping to train priests.

This is an ideal gift for ordination or for those beginning their training, or for exhausted priests looking to renew their original vision.
