One of the world’s great religious classics rendered in modern English and abridged for accessibility by John Venard, OCD. The Living Flame of Love could well be called the Saint’s last will and testament-his final world on the wonders of God in the soul. He relates “things so interior and spiritual that words commonly fail to describe them”. The loving union of which he treats is even more complete and perfect than that described in The Spiritual Canticle, in which the soul, inflamed, becomes one living flame with The Living Flame The Holy Spirit.
