Download or read book Deified Vision: Towards an Anagogical Catholicism written by Philip Krill and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DEIFIED VISION: TOWARDS AN ANAGOGICAL CATHOLICISM is an attempt at activating an "anagogical imagination." It requires of us that we pray for a share in God's own contemplation of the world; that we allow our imaginations to get "lifted up" into His own; that we desire to receive, through the illumination of His Holy Spirit, a participation in His own love and desire for all He has created. One author has called this process 'acquiring an "epistemic participation" in the Mind of Christ.'

This book was released on 2017-08-28 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by the ressourcement theology of Henri de Lubac, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Pope Benedict XVI, LIFE IN THE TRINITY is a modest attempt to advance a neo-patristic synthesis crucial to the renewal of the Catholic Faith in our times. Drawing on the early Church Fathers, as well as the personalism of Pope John Paul II, LIFE IN THE TRINITY presents Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as the source, goal, and archetype of human love, and the wellspring of liturgical worship. It furnishes us with a Catholic vision of communion and deification, inspiring hope for the 21st century.

Book excerpt: DEIFIED VISION: TOWARDS AN ANAGOGICAL CATHOLICISM is an attempt at activating an "anagogical imagination." It requires of us that we pray for a share in God's own contemplation of the world; that well allow our imaginations get "lifted up" into His own; that we desire to receive, through the illumination of His Holy Spirit, a participation in His own love and desire for all He has created. One author has called this process 'acquiring an "epistemic participation" in the Mind of Christ.'This book is a modest attempt to coax us in the direction of authentic spiritual renewal. All things begin and end with the Trinity. Contemplating Life in the Trinity is the indispensable key for acquiring new life in the Church and in our own individual lives. There is no life in Christ apart from ecclesial existence in His Church, and there is no life in the Church until we experience it as a Trinitarian encounter with the Father, through the Son, and in the Holy Spirit.If this language about an 'anagogical imagination' sounds strange or convoluted it is because our own sacramental and ecclesial vision has atrophied. The Church must learn to breathe again with both lungs, as Pope John Paul II, was fond of saying. By this he meant with both the Eastern and Western Catholic traditions of mystical and contemplative reflection on the Mysteries of our Faith.The outline of this book is thoroughly and unapologetically Trinitarian, with an emphasis on Anagogy. It follows, in a general way, the outline of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It treats of Creed (Dogma), Cult (Liturgy), and Code (Ethics). But it does so with an eye to the anagogical mysteries of Jesus' Resurrection and Ascension.
Book Synopsis More than Conquerors: The Pauline Mysticism of Romans 8 by : Philip Krill
Download or read book More than Conquerors: The Pauline Mysticism of Romans 8 written by Philip Krill and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MORE THAN Conquerors is a contemplative meditation on the 8th chapter of St. Paul's Letter to the Romans. Modeled on the lectio divina style of Adrienne von Speyr and Erasmo Leiva-Merikakas, this book explores the mystical depths of St. Paul's most famous letter, inviting us to reflect on the deifying power of 'life in Christ.' St. Paul was the first and perhaps greatest Christian mystic. The complexities of his letters to the Romans bear witness to the unfathomable riches of the Mystery of Christ. These reflections seek to bring us into the heart of Pauline mysticism.

Download or read book Divine Kenosis written by Philip Krill and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2024-01-04 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To appreciate the theological genius of Hans Urs von Balthasar, we must note his inseparable connection with Adrienne von Speyr. Balthasar referred to Von Speyr as the inspirational source of his theological vision and literary achievements. Says Balthasar: ‘Her work and mine are neither psychologically nor philologically to be separated: two halves of a single whole, which has as its center a unique foundation’ (My Work: In Retrospect, 105, 89). This ‘unique foundation’ is a mystical apprehension of the immanent Life of the Trinity. At the heart of the Trinity, Balthasar and Speyr see a primordial Mystery of Kenosis, i.e., self-dis-possession. Balthasar terms this Trinitarian self-expropriation Ur-kenosis, since the self-emptying (kenosis) within the Trinity applies not only to Christ but also to the Father and the Holy Spirit. The Father divests himself of himself in the begetting of his Son; the Holy Spirit is the fontal Power of self-abnegation (kenosis) within the Trinity, so ‘emptied of himself’ that he, as Spirit, is absolutely incognito. DIVINE KENOSIS is an attempt to draw attention to the neo-patristic synthesis and anagogical vision promoted by Han Urs von Balthasar and Adrienne von Speyr. It is also an extension of my personal mission to ‘promote a Trinitarian vision of deification and contemplative prayer.’
Book Synopsis Listening to the Fathers: by : Philip Krill
Download or read book Listening to the Fathers: written by Philip Krill and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-09-14 with total page 777 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LISTENING TO THE FATHERS: A Year of Neo-patristic Reflections is a day-by-day prayer journey based on selections from the Early Church Fathers. In this book of prayers, Philip Krill, whose personal mission is ‘to promote a Trinitarian vision of deification and contemplative prayer,’ seeks to introduce the reader to the Fathers’ vision of divinization in Christ and the universally salvific impact of His Incarnation. It is also his hope that those who pray with these texts will enter more deeply into contemplative prayer.
Download or read book Mushin written by Philip Krill and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-10-13 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mindfulness is an English synonym for the Oriental term, Mushin. Mushin is a shortened version of the Zen expression mushin no shin (), meaning ‘mind without mind’ or, simply, ‘No Mind’. Mushin or Mindfulness is a state where we become empty of all desires, thoughts, and assumptions, but remain alert, attentive, open and receptive to all that is. In Mindfulness our minds and hearts are free of anger, fear, or ego. In Mindfulness there is an absence of discursive thinking and deliberative judgment, but a fullness of intuitive knowing. In mindfulness we are free to act and respond without disturbance from our thoughts. In Mindfulness we intuitively know how to handle situations which previously baffled us. This book is a continuation of my previous writings on the Mystery of Presence. Mindfulness and Presence are terms pointing to the same ineffable, but immediately accessible encounter with what some people call God. I offer this book as a fruit of Presence, i.e. of my fledgling attempts to practice Mindfulness in every present moment. I have found that only words flowing from Presence, only books written in Mindfulness, have the power to communicate the Mystery of Mindfulness and Presence. I pray this book serves as a sacrament of God’s Presence for you and encourages you to begin or deepen your own practice of Mindfulness.
Download or read book Aporiae written by Philip Krill and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This little book is an exercise in theological imagination - a theologumenon. It is a modest attempt, in an intentionally untoward way, to re-acquaint us with a patristic vision of the universally salvific love of God that reconciles and divinizes all things in Christ that he may be ‘all in all’ (1 Cor. 15:28). Aporiae approaches the most controversial issues in theology - universal salvation, freedom, evil, etc. - using an entirely interrogative form. I’m not trying to get anyone to believe anything. I’m pointing towards a Horizon and a Mystery of divine goodness and love that infinitely exceeds anything of which the human mind and heart can conceive (cf. 1 Cor 2:9). I pray the questions I raise in this little book will affect the reader as I intend - as sincere ‘inquiries from the eschaton’. They are inspired, I believe, by an intuitive apprehension of the universally redemptive Mystery of trinitarian Love, and filled with the ‘hope does not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit’ (cf. Rom 5:5), convincing us that ‘just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive’ (1 Cor. 15:22).
Book Synopsis Illume: Mysteries of Light by : Philip Krill
Download or read book Illume: Mysteries of Light written by Philip Krill and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2002, St. Pope John Paul II added the Luminous Mysteries to the rosary, writing that 'the whole mystery of Christ is a mystery of light. He is the "light of the world'" (Jn. 8:12). ILLUME is a contemplative reflection upon the Luminous Mysteries in the life of Jesus, written in a lectio divina key, inviting us to enter into the Uncreated Light of the Most Holy Trinity.
Download or read book Parousia written by Philip Krill and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-01-06 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PAROUSIA (, parousia) is a Greek term meaning ‘presence’ or ‘arrival.’ Because it is used as a technical term referring to the return of Christ in glory, its more immediate, existential impact is often overlooked. Presence restores the epiphanic power of Parousia, opening us to the Eternal Now of a divine Fulness (Plrma) that is not yet completely revealed. Presence is a simple, immediately accessible entrée into what metaphysicians and theologians call the Mystery of ‘God.’ Presence is not identical with ‘God’ - what is? Yet Presence is that sophianic handmaid of ‘God’ - Hagia Sophia (Holy Wisdom) - who was ‘created at the beginning of God’s work’ and who rejoices in God’s created world and delights in the human race (Prv. 8:22- 31). Presence is the Sapientia of ‘God’, providing us with a taste of divine bliss otherwise inaccessible to the human heart (cf. 1 Cor. 2:9). I offer this book as an invitation for you to enter more deeply into the mystery of Presence where you may experience the Parousia of God.
Download or read book 12 Wicker Baskets written by Philip Krill and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-09-12 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Jesus of Nazareth fed the five thousand with five loaves and two fishes (Lk. 9:10-17), his apostles collected twelve wicker baskets of leftover fragments. The perfection of these numbers - seven and twelve - indicates the Divine Abundance of everything that comes from the hands of God. Mystics of the ancient Orient also knew of Divine Abundance. They called this mystery Saccidannda, a Hindu term that connotes the divine Bliss (Ananda) that arises within us when our Awareness (Chit) rests in Being (Sat), not in thinking. The experience of Saccidannda is what Jesus meant when he said, 'The kingdom of God is within you' (Lk. 17:28). One way of entering the kingdom of God, or experiencing Saccidannda, is to contemplate the Mystery of Presence. Presence, like the Mystery of God, is impossible to describe, yet, is as undeniable as it is indefinable. Presence is the experience of being completely empty of thought and devoid of agenda. Presence is the experience of transcendental Awareness that intuits the infinity of Being, and imparts such Divine Bliss that we sense it can only be coming from God. This book is a collection of fragments gleaned from the experience of Presence. They are given here to help the reader be present, and grow in contemplative prayer.
Download or read book Le Point Vierge written by Philip Krill and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-01-27 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘At the Center of our being is a point of pure truth, ‘ wrote Thomas Merton, ‘ a point or spark which belongs entirely to God...This little point of nothingness and of absolute poverty is the pure glory of God in us.’ Merton called this Center Point, Le Point Vierge the Virginal Point. Here, we and God are untied in a Mystery of inexpressible Presence. LE POINT VIERGE: Meditations on the Mystery of Presence is a year of daily meditations exploring the Mystery of Presence as we experience It in the Virginal Point in our hearts. Practicing Presence is a sure and certain way to make fresh contact with God. God is not an Object of our understanding but a Mystery of Presence encountered in the Virginal Point of our hearts. It is hoped that by reading LE POINT VIERGE, the reader will discover the truth of St. Augustine’s words: ‘You, O God, were more inward to me than my most inward parts and higher than my highest’ (Confessions 3.6.11).
Download or read book Gelassenheit written by Philip Krill and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gelassenheit is a German word with many meanings: relinquishment, surrender, abandonment, submission, detachment, letting go, allowing, acquiescence, etc. Meister Eckhart's favorite term for Gelassenheit is releasement. Eckhart, like mystics of every age, experienced God as a Mystery of Releasement. Gelassenheit involves the whole trinitarian Life. The father 'lets go of' Himself to be begotten in an intra-trinitarian act of Gelassenheit, and together, Father and Son 'release' the Holy Spirit, for the salvation of the world. These meditations on Gelassenheit are offered to help us experience God as a Mystery of Divine Releasement. And since the spiritual life is also a progressive growth in interior Gelassenheit, the author also hopes that this book will inspire a trinitarian vision of deification and contemplative prayer. Meister Eckhart (1260–1328) was a German theologian, philosopher, and mystic. A Dominican priest, his writings, comprised mostly of sermons, were considered heretical during his lifetime but are now considered the mystical gold standard of the Middle Ages.
Book Synopsis Before the Foundation of the World: Encountering the Trinity in Ephesians 1 by : Philip Krill
Download or read book Before the Foundation of the World: Encountering the Trinity in Ephesians 1 written by Philip Krill and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by the spiritual exegesis of the early church fathers, and modeled on the revival of an imaginative and contemplative approach to Scripture developed by Adrienne von Speyr, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Joseph Ratzinger, and Erasmo Leiva-Merikakas, BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD takes a small portion of a single letter of St. Paul and invites us to communion with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit through an extended exercise in lectio divina. According to the ressourcement theological vision advocated by the authors above, our reading of Scripture should be a living encounter with the Eternal Word in every word of the Bible. BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD invites us into just such an encounter.
Book Synopsis Tearing the Veil of This Sweet Encounter by : Philip Krill
Download or read book Tearing the Veil of This Sweet Encounter written by Philip Krill and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-05-27 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1884, Karl Rahner predicted that ‘the Christian of the future will be a mystic or he will not exist at all.’ These many years later, Rahner’s words are no less prophetic. As organized religion continues to atrophy at an unstoppable rate, the need for a contemplative spirituality continues to grow. Tearing the Veil of this Sweet Encounter is a modest attempt to meet this need. Fr. Philip Krill’s personal mission is to ‘promote a trinitarian vision of deification and contemplative prayer.’ The author prays that all who read this book will be inspired to seek God, not in the moral platitudes of religion, but in the silent depths of contemplative prayer.
Download or read book Ursprung written by Philip Krill and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2024-06-20 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If brain-storming is an exercise in mental imagination, Ursprung is an example of soul-storming. Unlike brainstorming, the aphorisms that comprise Ursprung arise from a Source (Ursprung) more ‘beyond and above’ the ideas that brainstorming produces. This book is a collection of such inspirations, originally unconnected but gradually formed into sections and chapters which I hope exhibit a natural, organic affinity. I wrote Ursprung more as an act of obedience than originality. This book offers a vision of deification, springing from contemplative prayer, that I believe both the church and the world need. The reader can be the judge.
