HASTINGS: Do you seriously reckon you or anyone can hold up the other kind of mirror to [the Queen] now that’d show her the truth?
WILL [slowly]: What if you could? What if you could make her say, This is me?
—Rowan Williams, Shakeshafte
Cry of the Heart is the late Monsignor Lorenzo Albacete’s incisive and heartfelt look at what the experience of suffering reveals to each of us. He draws upon insights from literary figures such as Flannery O’Connor, Walker Percy, and Elie Wiesel; adds the wisdom of Saints John Paul II and Padre Pio; and engages our own everyday human experience.
