Description

Irish military chaplain Fr. Willie Doyle, S.J., died in action during the Battle of Passchendaele on August 16, 1917. His remarkable story is told in "To Raise the Fallen", a collection of his letters, diary entries, prayers, and spiritual writings. These writings offer a unique glimpse into the life of a man who embodied courage, compassion, and humility. Fr. Doyle's letters reveal his deep faith and great humor, even in the face of unimaginable horrors. His daily struggles with himself, which prepared him for his selfless service on the battlefield, are a testament to his commitment to Christ. This book provides a powerful tribute to Fr. Doyle's heroic virtue, which inspired those who knew him and continues to inspire Christians and non-Christians alike.
