註釋In For the Time Being, a collection of the best of his columns, we are invited to look through Monahan's lens as he discovers the goodness in unlikely people, experiences a sense of absurdity in the ordinary, and entertains us with his comical misadventures. We are treated to rare glimpses of life in the priesthood, and we watch as he wrestles at times with his well-informed conscience.
Through his curious mind, we're introduced to interesting characters, both obscure and famous. We see his self-deprecating confessions of ineptitude that many of us can identify with. And we find we are inspired to greater integrity in spite of ourselves.
For the Time Being reflects a keen observer of the world he encounters as a boy growing up Catholic, as a man who loved sports and history, and as a priest exposed to more than his share of the human condition. And all of it told with wit and insight.
