It teaches how we should observe the way the revelation of God impacts and changes us, the support, motivation, security, and love we enjoy always from God; the itineraries involved in him doing what we want; why and how he does these things as well.

Gradiva is a novel on childhood love excavated by Norbert Hanold from the ruins of Pompeii. The novel by the little-known German novelist would have remained obscure but for Freud, who used the dreams in the novel in support of his theory of dreams.

Francis Bourdillon reflects on the gifts sent to us by God. As described in the Psalms, gifts can have altogether different meanings and only the truly faithful will be able to understand its worth. Afflictions, though often seen as a plague, are in his mind to be understood as a veiled gift, with a value that requires a greater depth of belief to comprehend.

Francis Bourdillon reflects on the term “light affliction” and how, for most of us, some afflictions may not be light at all. He refers to the apostle Paul who described his own afflictions not only as light, but as short as well and invites every true Christian to follow this path. Even though Paul’s trials were many and were neither short nor light, he feels resolved in approaching them as mere trifles since suffering is temporary and divine glory is eternal.
