Benedictus: A Book of Blessings by John O'Donohue. Bantam Press / Transworld Publishers, London, 2007. A collection of blessings for the significant thresholds of human life, written in O'Donohue's characteristic language of Celtic landscape and contemplative spiritual attention. O'Donohue worked on this collection for many years, and it was published just two months before his sudden death in January 2008 at the age of fifty-two, making it both his final complete work and his most intimate. Irish poet, priest, and philosopher from County Clare, he completed his doctorate in Philosophical Theology at the University of Tübingen. A rare copy in exceptional condition of a book that has brought solace and beauty to readers around the world.
