Jesus The King of Love - Fr Mateo Crawley Boevey

A beautiful and inspiring book Jesus The King of Love describes Fr Mateo Crawley Boevey's apostolate and life's work. It is the result of monks, nuns, priests and layfolk taking notes of Fr Mateo's retreats and conferences and publishing their notes. In time these notes became the book described below.

Jesus The King of Love sums up the meaning of The Enthronement of Jesus in our homes and the great personal love Jesus has for us and we should have for Jesus. I am going to post a series based on this book because as Fr Mateo urges below "If you find these pages useful, pass on the book to others after reading it yourself."

Jesus The King of Love
Conferences by Fr Mateo Crawley Boevey

Dedication
To All the Apostles of the Reign of the Heart of Jesus

Dear Fellow Labourers,

This volume is dedicated to all who have shared with me the glory and responsibility of the Work of the Enthronement. It contains much of what I have said and preached; my words were jotted down on the spot by zealous listeners and published in French under the title "Vers le Roi d'Amour." In this edition I have added over a hundred pages with a view to throwing further light on our spirit and vocation and the book now appears under the title "Jesus, King of Love." Read it and ponder it lovingly, apostles of the Divine Heart.

May these simple pages, by the grace of the King of Love, bring light and love into your interior life and apostolate in hours of difficulty and trial. The book claims no literary value, it seeks only to make Jesus better known and loved, for, as Saint Bernard says, His Name is Joy unspeakable, honey to the lips and music to the heart.

Love It and make It loved.

If you find these pages useful, pass on the book to others after reading it yourself. Yours very affectionately and gratefully in the Sacred Heart.

Fr Mateo Crawley-Boevey, SS.CC.
