My first video!
And it is a presentation, or testimony of joy, about my conversion from atheism to Catholicism.
It bears witness to the living of the Catholic joy—day in, day out—as my life deepened and deepens still, in and through the Catholic Mystery.
And, as it has done so, I have been brought deeper and deeper into the Tradition, having discovered the Traditional Latin Mass, whose profound supernatural effects and beauty have changed me forever.
Moreover, discovering the Sacred Heart of Jesus, as I will speak about in my second video, has also deepened me in that tradition. Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is central to my life. And of course, praying the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary has changed my heart, bringing me closer to the Mother of God and Her unceasing connection to Her Son.
All three have changed and converted me, bringing me into ever greater relationship and love for the Sacred Heart of Jesus in His Blessed Sacrament.
But I will let this video for itself—and just leave you with some promotional material for my dear husband’s wonderful new book, The Gentle Traditionalist Returns.
“Roger Buck’s character, the ‘Gentle Traditionalist,’ returns with a vengeance in this stand-alone sequel. Set against the backdrop of modern Ireland’s headlong flight from sanity, this book skewers the modern malaise with the kind of sanity we have come to expect from this author.”–CHARLES A. COULOMBE , author of Puritan’s Empire: A Catholic Perspective on American History
”Buck’s latest foray is a grand success … The story features the same singular combination of whimsy and surprise, keen social commentary, and deft argumentation as the first [book]. The Gentle Traditionalist Returns appeals to what is best and deepest in us, so that we will reengage with that which ultimately matters while there is yet time.” — PETER KWASNIEWSKI, author of Reclaiming Our Roman Catholic Birthright.
”A brilliant diagnosis of the spiritual malaise of modern society, written with gentleness, generosity, humour, pathos … and, above all else, love”— MAOLSHEACHLANN Ó CEALLAIGH , author of Inspiration From the Saints
“Those who were charmed by Roger Buck’s previous books–well, prepare to be charmed again, but also warned and given plenty of food for thought. This book strikes a more somber note, but one tuned to the timbre of our times. Read it and tune in.”– THOMAS STORCK, author of From Christendom to Americanism
“The Gentle Traditionalist Returns is a welcome visit from an old friend. Roger Buck’s delightful narrative–as the title assures us–gently leads the reader into a new perspective on the Catholic Mystery. An absolutely refreshing read!”–MICHAEL MARTIN, author of Transfiguration: Notes Toward a Radical Catholic Reimagination of Everything
“Once again, Roger Buck has shown himself to be a prophet in the tradition of Ezekiel; he is the watchman on the wall. Buck’s experience as a convert from New Age activism has uniquely fitted him for this vocation.”–GERARD O’SHEA , author of Educating in Christ
Foreword for Monarchy by Roger Buck
