Jesuit priest/poet Gerard Manley Hopkins and abbess Hildegard of Bingen are the directors of this fourth in the A Retreat With . . . series. Hopkins suffered from frequent bouts of melancholia and depression, but remained hopeful and ever faithful to Christ. Hildegard, gifted with visions sinch childhood, recorded her wisdom, guiding readers through the mysteries of the Bible, the complexities of the moral life and the narrow gate of the Kingdom.
