It is a great feeling when someone takes us by the hand as we are walking in obscurity. That is precisely what Chaplain Morales manages to accomplish in his book Parenthesis. This book walks us through the path to take on the road of loss when we receive bad news, when our feelings of impotence overtake our emotions. This is a gift of significance when a box of chocolates and flowers are not enough and we wish to provide a ray of hope. That is the purpose of Parenthesis, to extend a hand in exploring the spiritual comfort that will allow those in suffering to maintain the course when the frail ship is among the storm.
