Taking the famous Gerard Manley Hopkins poem on vocation ‘As Kingfishers
Catch Fire’ and the Lord’s Prayer as its framework, For This I Came
offers seventy reflections on the spirituality of priesthood to
encourage and sustain all in ministry. ↵

Wyn
Beynon brings a depth of wisdom and tools for reflection in the form of
short poetic and prayerful aphorisms. Memorable, profound, challenging
and assuring, his writing is a rich source for meditation and for growth
in character and ministry. Eschewing measures of success and failure
and affirming the nature of the priestly calling, he brings a
countercultural voice shaped by forty years of ministry and helping to
train priests.↵

This
is an ideal gift for ordination or for those beginning their training,
or for exhausted priests looking to renew their original vision.
Wyn Beynon is a priest in the Diocese of Worcester, a spiritual director
