Book Synopsis The Mindful Catholic by : Gregory Bottaro
Download or read book The Mindful Catholic written by Gregory Bottaro and published by Wellspring. This book was released on 2018 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether we are carrying out routine life behaviors, trying to pray, or conversing with others, the way our minds work significantly impacts how well we function. But many times we may feel like our mind has a mind of its own. -- You fall into bed exhausted at the end of the day, craving a good night's sleep, only to have your mind race in a million directions. -- Prayer is an exercise in futility, full of distractions and wandering thoughts. -- In the midst of a conversation, you suddenly realize you haven't heard a word the other person has said.-- You arrive at a destination with no recollection of how you got there. These all-too-common occurrences are examples of of how our minds can seem to be completely out of our control. We end up merely going through the motions day after day, feeling anxious and preoccupied. But it doesn't have to be that way. Dr. Greg Bottaro explains how mindfulness can help us become aware of the present moment and accept it. Catholic mindfulness is a way to practically trust God more in our lives. Instead of separating faith from day-to-day life, mindfulness helps bridge the gap so we can feel the sense of safety and peace God intends us to have. Following the simple exercises in this book, you'll discover how mindfulness can help you be more present to everything in your life from a trip to the grocery store or relaxing with friends to listening more attentively to a homily or meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For the weary, the angry, the anxious, and the hopeful, this collection of moving, tender prayers offers rest, joyful resistance, and a call to act, written by Barbara Brown Taylor, Amena Brown, Nadia Bolz-Weber, and other artists and thinkers, curated by the author Glennon Doyle calls “my favorite faith writer.” It’s no secret that we are overworked, overpressured, and edging burnout. Unsurprisingly, this fact is as old as time—and that’s why we see so many prayer circles within a multitude of church traditions. These gatherings are a trusted space where people seek help, hope, and peace, energized by God and one another. This book, curated by acclaimed author Sarah Bessey, celebrates and honors that prayerful tradition in a literary form. A companion for all who feel the immense joys and challenges of the journey of faith, this collection of prayers says it all aloud, giving readers permission to recognize the weight of all they carry. These writings also offer a broadened imagination of hope—of what can be restored and made new. Each prayer is an original piece of writing, with new essays by Sarah Bessey throughout. Encompassing the full breadth of the emotional landscape, these deeply tender yet subversive prayers give readers an intimate look at the diverse language and shapes of prayer.
Book Synopsis Extraordinary Times, Extraordinary Beings by : Wayne S. Peterson
Download or read book Extraordinary Times, Extraordinary Beings written by Wayne S. Peterson and published by Hampton Roads Publishing. This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All major religions of the world are expecting him. Christians know him as the Christ. Jews are still awaiting the Messiah. Hindus anticipate the coming of Krishna. Muslims are expecting the Imam Mahdi. And Buddhists call him the Fifth (Maitreya) Buddha. The names are all different, but many believe they all refer to the same person: a world Teacher who is among us now, and is called Maitreya. But he does not come as a religious leader. He is here as a guide for people of all religions, all countries, all societies. In this age of crisis, he is here to inspire all of us to put down the sword of religious, social, and economic strife, and to seek justice based on sharing and global cooperation of the human family. His message is that of all great teachers of the ageless wisdom: peace, love, the golden rule. Some very prominent world leaders and celebrities, and many others, are aware of Maitreya's reappearance, but are not yet prepared to go public due to the possible effect on their professional reputations/ however, many believe that it's just a matter of time before everyone will recognize that the world teacher is back, living among us. Wayne Peterson, a former American diplomat and director of the Fulbright Scholarship program, tells the story of his own extraordinary encounters with Maitreya, and why Maitreya has returned. It is a story of strange, fascinating events and penetrating wisdom and an inspirational message of hope for the future. It is a story that deals with nothing less than humanity's opportunity to redefine its institutions and beliefs based on the ancient wisdom common to all traditions. Above all, it is a story, both personal and planetary, of love, and of those extraordinary spiritual beings who embody it to the world.

Download or read book Time for God written by Jacques Philippe and published by Scepter Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03-29 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people today are thirsty for God and feel a desire for an intense, personal prayer life that is deep and ongoing. But they encounter obstacles that prevent them from following the path seriously, and especially from persevering on it. Time for God was written with these desires and difficulties in mind. In Time for God, author Jacques Philippe mainly concentrates on mental prayer: prayer that consists of facing God in solitude and silence for a time in order to enter into intimate, loving communion with him. Practicing this kind of prayer regularly is considered by all spiritual masters to be an indispensable path that gives access to genuine Christian life—a path to knowing and loving God that empowers us to respond to his call to holiness addressed to each individual. Philippe draws on years of experience as a spiritual guide to illuminate the fundamental principles of mental prayer and describes some common mistakes and misconceptions that can lead it astray. With simplicity and clarity he explains the foundational principles for a healthy prayer life and gives advice for overcoming the various obstacles that arise when one sets off on the path of interior prayer.

Appointed and anointed by God, and by his grace, and mercy, his awesome power, and my love for Jesus, and by yielding to the Holy Spirit, I was endowed with spiritual gifts for a special purposeto do certain things, not everything. My singleness of purpose is to glorify Gods name in all the earth until Jesus comes. To God is the glory forever! In February 28, 2000, our Sovereign God called me to the Intercessory Prayer Ministry. I was called to stand as a minister at his altar and to stand in between heaven and earth and pray and ask for mercy for his people. To pray for the nations, for soldiers on the battlefield, for the suffering children, youth in crisis, senior citizens, and other people in distress in our community, and to pray for world leaders, politicians, and pastors.

Book Synopsis Three Word Meditation by : Robert Felix
Download or read book Three Word Meditation written by Robert Felix and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the Gnostic (self-knowledge) traditions were purged from Christianity in the Fourth Century AD, the church has been a gatekeeper of faith. But people today are curious about the differences between fixed, dogmatic truths offered by religious authority and inner, personal and adaptable truths discovered from within. Now, author Robert Felix has written a work that brings these external and internal worlds together in order to help you achieve a closer connection to the Divine. An historical oversight of Western religions, Felix contends, is that they teach us how to talk to God without teaching the equally important skill of how to listen to God. Here, Felix shows how to combine Western styles of prayer with Eastern meditation techniques. With prayer you discover the unique characteristics of your personality while meditation enables you to hear answers in the form of new, creative solutions to the concerns and goals you face. With this practice, you can intentionally alter your mind for the better. Felix writes, "Because you are unique, no one can create your pathway to Divine Love but you. Everyone communicates with God in a personal space, inside themselves. You have to find your own 'God within' and then the Highest Source will help you in profound, life changing ways." After forty years of research and practice, Felix has found that these techniques enhance the ability to feel God's Pure Love. The Three Word Meditation approach creates partnerships between the verbal skills of your analytical brain and the holistic skills of your intuitive brain. They form the basis of the most cherished partnerships of all--the partnerships between you, Pure Love, and all of earth's life. A rainbow of advice for personal wellness and spiritual growth. With all of its talk of partnerships, productivity, and growth, it¿s difficult to imagine a more pragmatic approach to meditation. Useful for those seeking a neat path to achieving inner balance. -Kirkus Discoveries
