Agony and Ecstasy, Abelard & Heloise XXI Century Fr Abelardo Fernandez

Secret salvaged files from diaries of Legion of Christ Missionaries in Mexico presented raw material to edit Book Seven in the series. This book illustrates the high and the lows in the life of the priests who are involved in deep relationships with women. Mid-stage, brings self-awareness as the priest engages in self-questioning; while the relationship becomes more physical and sexual. Wracked by guilt the priest need Confession. In the midst of the struggle, our Heloise and Abelard experience what appears to be Spiritual Ecstasy. Quel paradoxe!
