About This Book
Bestselling author Timothy M. Gallagher, OMV, assembles a remarkable biography of Father Bruno Lanteri, who while living within a context of exciting historical significanceâwith the French Revolution, the rise and fall of Napoleon, and the Bourbon Restoration reshaping France all around himâovercame great odds to become the foremost spiritual leader of the age, ultimately founding the Oblates of the Virgin Mary. Drawn from Lanteri's own journals, letters, and correspondence, Gallagher offers a detailed spiritual portrait of a man once limited by his own impatience and lack of charity, who evolved into a man of fierce spiritual courage, religious reformer, defender of the Pope against Napoleon's command, and a symbol of perseverance who coined the term "begin again"âthe official motto of the Oblates. Complemented by a timeline of historical events, photographs, and maps, Gallagher's richly researched volume brings to light the ministry and legacy of a remarkable leader as never before.
