From the Back CoverHow did the maestro advise the young violinist? There is a story of a young violinist who had an audition at Carnegie Hall. To her relief, she saw an old man with a violin under his arm and thought that surely he would know.“Sir, can you tell me how to get to Carnegie Hall?” she asked.“Practice,” he said, with a grin. It’s the same way with Catholic spirituality – growing in faith is all about practice. This collection by today’
