The Light Invisible (Paperback, Robert Hugh Benson)

The Light Invisible is a collection of interconnected short stories or reflections, narrated by a Catholic priest who recounts mystical experiences and visions of the spiritual world. The stories explore themes of faith, the supernatural, and the presence of divine light in human life. Through these visions, the narrator is drawn into a deeper understanding of spiritual truths, the battle between good and evil, and the mysteries of the afterlife. Benson uses a meditative and philosophical tone, merging theological insight with elements of the supernatural, making the book both a spiritual reflection and an exploration of mystical phenomena. Each story or vision emphasizes the contrast between the material and spiritual worlds, suggesting that there is a "light" that guides souls beyond the visible world into a deeper spiritual realm.
