'We have fallen out of belonging. Consequently, when we stand before crucial thresholds in our lives, we have no rituals to protect, encourage and guide us as we cross over into the unknown. For such crossings, we need to find new words. What is nearest to the heart is often farthest from the word. This book is an attempt to reach into that tenuous territory of change that we must cross...'
In sharing words of profound grace and wisdom, master storyteller John O'Donohue's Benedictus offers blessings to shelter us as we confront the many challenges we face on our journey through life.
Living in an anxious world - a world so often dominated by unwelcome change, unhappiness and even despair - many readers will find comfort in John O'Donohue's illuminating introductions, covering areas such as Beginnings, Desires, States of the Heart, Callings and Beyond Endings, and the blessings themselves provide an inspiring and reassuring new vision of possibility. It is also a vision of hope and belonging for this sometimes troubled world.

An inspiring and comforting new work from the author of the international bestseller, Anam Cara.
In sharing words of grace and wisdom, John O'Donohue's blessings offer us shelter and comfort in this often troubled world.
As we open our eyes to the natural beauty and splendour of the world that surrounds us, we are inspired to confront the key thresholds of human experience. Guided by these blessings and by a reassuring vision of hope and possibility for the present and the future, we begin to recognize that our relationships with one another - and even the most seemingly insignificant rituals which frame our days - are crucial to our emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
Drawing on the heritage of ancient Celtic thought and imagination, Benedictus is a sanctuary of peace and a gentle, illuminating gift of light on our journey through this world.
