Synopsis

Letters of faith and courage from occupied Belgium

A Shepherd Among Wolves collects wartime correspondence from Cardinal Mercier, archbishop of Malines, as Belgium faces invasion and occupation. The letters reveal how faith, charity, and moral resolve sustain communities, clergy, and families under pressure, guiding readers through a country’s struggle for dignity and justice. These writings illuminate the daily acts of care and leadership that help people endure hardship. They frame a call to solidarity—prayers, practical aid, and steadfast hope—in the face of violence and disruption. The book presents a window into the spiritual and moral conversations that shaped Belgium during the war.

  • Personal reflections on faith, courage, and resilience under occupation
  • Calls for charity, community support, and care for soldiers’ families
  • How clergy and laypeople organized aid and spiritual leadership
  • Historical context of mercy, justice, and national endurance during wartime
Ideal for readers interested in wartime letters, religious history, and the human side of Belgium’s experience in World War I.
