No abiding city

No Abiding City is a collection of sermons from a Lenten conference given at Our Lady of Victories in 1932 by Father Bede Jarrett, O.P. (1881-1934). The sermons may have been written down verbatim in notes as he delivered them at the conference, according to Father Hilary Carpenter, O.P. Prior Provincial. FR Bede Jarrett was known for his gifts of understanding, gentleness, affability, patience, personal charm and appealing oratory. He is said to have been a true son of St. Dominic and of his Order. His intense love of God, men and of all things gave him a vision of truth, beauty and goodness that inspired his transcendental thinking and speaking.
