Light and Peace
Instructions for Devout Souls
to Dispel Their Doubts and Allay Their Fears
by R. P. Quadrupani, Barnabite
193 page book (4" x 6"), $4
Light and Peace is a handbook for getting to Heaven – a short and practical course in proper
Christian living that covers all the important aspects of our religious duties. Far and away
the telling feature of this little book is its immense common sense and good advice. Light and
Peace shows that perfecting one's self is not a complicated task, but one which requires good,
practical thinking and a knowledge of the task at hand – in short, "Light" on the path
– which
is what this book is. Thereafter, the result of one's knowing where he is going spiritually and
how best to achieve this end is "Peace," the peace which Our Lord promised and which the
world cannot give.
Light and Peace is a classic in Catholic spirituality. First written in 1795
in Italian, this work has passed through innumerable editions in Italian, French, German and
English, the present one alone being the tenth in this format. In short, it is "a summary of
spiritual guidance for earnest Christians in the ordinary duties of life in the world."
