His award-winning essays and consistently notable columns revealed not only his acuity and alacrity, but his uncommon spiritual insight. These in turn provided momentum and substance for whatever followed in an issue of the magazine because Garvey never hesitated to wrestle with some of the most challenging and intractable topics of the day, and did so with a rich pastoral sensitivity, and a refreshing and rare intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOnly Wonder Comprehends\u003c\/i\u003e gleans from John Garvey's many contributions to \u003ci\u003eCommonweal\u003c\/i\u003e that reflect his spiritual depth and deep appreciation of history, politics, theology, and culture. Steeped in the Christian tradition, Garvey loved to write and, in return, his readers relished what he wrote. It is hoped that this collection of his writings from \u003ci\u003eCommonweal\u003c\/i\u003e will inspire readers to cultivate a similar sense of attentiveness and commitment, for as the author himself observed, \"Religious traditions are meant to transform us, not to affirm us as we are.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatrick Jordan (1944 - 2025) served as the former managing editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Catholic Worker\u003c\/i\u003e.
