Download or read book Your Word Is Fire written by and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2012-01-13 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The power of prayer for spiritual renewal and personal transformation is at the core of all religious traditions. Because Hasidic literature contains no systematic manual of contemplative prayer, the texts included in this volume have been culled from many sources. From the teachings of the Hasidic Masters—the Ba'al Shem Tov, the Maggid Dov Baer of Meidzyrzec, and their immediate disciples—the editors have gleaned "hints as to the various rungs of inner prayer and how they are attained." Hasidism, the Jewish revivalist movement that began in the late eighteenth century, saw prayer as being at the heart of religious experience and was particularly concerned with the nature of a person’s relationship with God. The obstacles to prayer discussed by the Hasidic masters—distraction, loss of spirituality, and inconstancy of purpose—feel very close to concerns of our own age. Through advice, parables, and explanations, the Hasidic masters of the past speak to our own attempts to find meaning in prayer.

Book Synopsis The Foundations for Centering Prayer and the Christian Contemplative Life by : Thomas Keating
Download or read book The Foundations for Centering Prayer and the Christian Contemplative Life written by Thomas Keating and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2002-05-20 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People interested in Centering Prayer often ask: "Which of Father Keating's books should I read first?" This single volume contains the three basic books for the practice of Centering Prayer and its conceptual background. Open Mind, Open Heart deals with how to practice Centering Prayer. Since its first appearance in 1986, this book has been read and used by tens of thousands of people all around in world, including many inmates of U.S. prisons. Father Keating's books have been translated into numerous languages, including Croatian, Czech, Finnish, Japanese, and Korean. A new Spanish translation of Open Mind, Open Heart appeared in 2001. Invitation to Love treats the conceptual background of Centering Prayer rooted as it is in the Christian contemplative heritage. It is a presentation of that heritage in dialogue with contemporary science, especially developmental psychology and anthropology. The Mystery of Christ is a series of homilies based on the liturgical year. It develops the theological principles on which Centering Prayer is based using the scriptural texts of the liturgical cycle as a primary vehicle of instruction. This instruction is embodied in the principal feasts of the year celebrating the themes of divine light, divine life, and divine love. The trilogy contained in Foundations for Centering Prayer and the Christian Contemplative Life develops the material presented in the Ten-Day Intensive Centering Prayer Workshop, in which the method of Centering Prayer is taught (Open Mind, Open Heart) along with its conceptual background (Invitation to Love). The homilies that were given during the liturgy integrate the method and its conceptual background into the mystery of Christ (hence The Mystery of Christ).

Book excerpt: In this classic text, Thomas Merton offers valuable guidance for prayer. He brings together a wealth of meditative and mystical influences–from John of the Cross to Eastern desert monasticism–to create a spiritual path for today.

Contemplative Prayer is one of the most well-known works of spirituality of the last one hundred years, and it is a must-read for all seeking to live a life of purpose in today’s world. In a moving and profound introduction, Thich Nhat Hanh offers his personal recollections of Merton and compares the contemplative traditions of East and West.

But God sees you. He designed this parenting journey, after all. He understands the chaos of motherhood.

Catherine McNiel invites you to connect with God right here, in the sacred mundane of every mothering moment.
Book Synopsis The Year of Small Things by : Sarah Arthur
Download or read book The Year of Small Things written by Sarah Arthur and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Sarah and Tom Arthur were appointed to a suburban church after three years in an urban Christian community, they faced a unique challenge: how to translate the practices of "radical" faith into their new context. Together with their friends and fellow church members Erin and Dave Wasinger, the Arthurs embarked on a yearlong experiment to implement twelve small practices of radical faith--not waiting until they were out of debt or the kids were out of diapers or God sent them elsewhere, but right now. This book is Sarah and Erin's story, told with humor, theological reflection, and practical insight, exploring such practices as simplicity, hospitality, accountability, sustainability, and social justice--but, most of all, discernment. Along the way readers will consider how God might be calling them to embark on their own year of small but radical changes, right where God has planted them. Each chapter includes discussion questions and suggested readings. Foreword by Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove. For more information, visit [www.YearofSmallThings.com](http://www.YearofSmallThings.com).

Book Synopsis A Simple Method of Raising the Soul to Contemplation by : François Malaval
Download or read book A Simple Method of Raising the Soul to Contemplation written by François Malaval and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Simple Method of Raising the Soul to Contemplation: In the Form of a Dialogue Meditative by nature, and contemplative by vocation, Malaval's interior life seems to have matured quickly. He was a profound student of the mystics; and his book reveals to us something of the depth and beauty of that life of prayer to which he attained under their guidance. We may well suppose that personal experience lies behind such passages as that in which he tells his pupil that sometimes three and four hours may pass with such facility and sweetness in contemplation, that a soul which abandoned itself without reserve would be exhausted. When your soul has learned not to receive too many out ward impressions, he says to her again, God will become the light of your eyes, so that you will see everything for Him and in Him. Contemporary opinion soon came to regard him as a saint. All the pens in the world, says one witness, cannot express that which was seen and felt, when Malaval was prostrate before the holy altars.

Download or read book Remain In Me written by Andreas Schmidt and published by Scepter Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Paul’s command to “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thess 5:17) can seem impossible for the average Christian living in the middle of this hectic contemporary world. Yet his words are intended as much for those of his time as those of today, and as much for those who labor at home or in the office as for those in monasteries. Indeed, the Catechism of the Catholic Church professes the contemplative life, or in other words, a life of constant prayer, as both necessary and attainable. With a strong foundation in Church teaching and woven throughout with the classic wisdom of the saints, Remain in Me is an accessible guide to a timeless call. Beginning with a careful outline of what is required to build the contemplative life, both in specified prayer times and in everyday tasks, Father Andreas Schmidt confronts the most common difficulties in personal prayer and explores the fruits of contemplation: growth in holiness, a more powerful experience of the Sacraments, increased success in work, and ultimately, a closer and more intimate relationship with God.
