Keating's reflections on the parables of Jesus, published by Crossroad in 1993 (118 pages) and reissued in 1997. In 2010 Crossroad republished it as Meditations on the Parables of Jesus, the title by which it is now sold. Its title is the formula with which many of the parables open. The parables return in his later work: St. Thérèse of Lisieux (2000) sets her teaching beside them, and Manifesting God (2005) treats three of them.
