Sacred Story Institute explores dynamic new dimensions of classic Ignatian spirituality, based on St. Ignatius' Conscience Examen in the Sacred Story prayer method pioneered by Fr. Bill Watson, S.J. We are creating a new class of spiritual resources. Our Sacred Story Press publications are research-based, authentic to the Catholic Tradition and designed to help individuals achieve integrated, spiritual growth and holiness of life. Sacred Story prayer, modeled on St. Ignatius' classic examination of conscience, is a proven path to spiritual growth. It is the narrow road, but the one taken by many saints and ordinary laity in the Church's history. If you are ready to make Christ the center of your life, you will find no better daily spiritual prayer discipline. Divine love is an abiding relationship that God invites you to share daily. Listen to the wisdom below to help prepare you to enter this daily abiding love relationship with God. Integrated spiritual growth requires no money, foreign travel, gurus or years with a counselor. Forty Weeks offers us a highly practical, easily understood week-by-week process to find integrated healing and peace in Christ. Enter the Sacred Story of a new heavens and new earth that Christ is now writing in the universe and on your heart. YOU WILL LEARN TO BRING YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST FOR HEALING "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your selves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light." (Mt. 11:28-30) YOU WILL LEARN TO CONNECT TO CHRIST IN YOUR DAILY LIFE "It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. This I command you: love one another." (Jn. 15: 16-17) YOU WILL DISCERN TRUTH FROM FALSEHOOD IN YOUR CORE IDENTITY "Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." (1 Jn. 4: 1)

Download or read book The First Forty Days written by Heng Ou and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After labor, it’s time for rest: A gentle guide to zuo yuezi, the ancient Chinese practice of postpartum self-care, including sixty simple recipes. The first forty days after the birth of a child offer an essential and fleeting period of rest and recovery for the new mother. Based on Heng Ou’s own postpartum experience with zuo yuezi, a set period of “confinement” in which a woman remains at home focusing on healing and bonding with her baby, The First Forty Days revives the lost art of caring for the mother after birth. As modern mothers are pushed to prematurely “bounce back” after delivering their babies, and are often left alone to face the physical and emotional challenges of this new stage of their lives, the first forty days provide a lifeline—a source of connection, nourishment, and guidance. This book includes sixty simple recipes for healing soups, replenishing meals and snacks, and calming and lactation-boosting teas, all formulated to support the unique needs of the new mother. In addition to recipes, this warm and encouraging guide offers advice on arranging a system of help during the postpartum period, navigating relationship challenges, and honoring the significance of pregnancy and birth. Fully illustrated, it is a practical guide and inspirational read for all new mothers and mothers-to-be—the perfect ally during the first weeks with a new baby. “Bringing our attention back to the importance of the postpartum period for new mothers helps to create space for this essential period of integration and recovery . . . an invaluable companion during the first 40 days and beyond.” —Ricki Lake & Abby Epstein, filmmakers, The Business of Being Born

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Provocative and appealing . . . well worth your extremely limited time." —Barbara Spindel, The Wall Street Journal The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks. Nobody needs telling there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and “life hacks” to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks. Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern fixation on “getting everything done,” Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how many of the unhelpful ways we’ve come to think about time aren’t inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we’ve made as individuals and as a society—and that we could do things differently.

Book excerpt: “What would happen if Harry met Sally in the age of Tinder and Snapchat? . . . A field guide to Millennial dating in New York City” (New York Daily News). When New York–based graphic designers and long-time friends Timothy Goodman and Jessica Walsh found themselves single at the same time, they decided to try an experiment. The old adage says that it takes forty days to change a habit—could the same be said for love? So they agreed to date each other for forty days, record their experiences in questionnaires, photographs, videos, texts, and artworks, and post the material on a website they would create for this purpose. What began as a small experiment between two friends became an Internet sensation, drawing five million unique (and obsessed) visitors from around the globe to their site and their story. 40 Days of Dating: An Experiment is a beautifully designed, expanded look at the experiment and the results, including a great deal of material that never made it onto the site, such as who they were as friends and individuals before the forty days and who they have become since.

Download or read book Sacred Story written by William M. Watson and published by . This book was released on 2012-12-28 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and why did St. Ignatius Loyola develop the Examen prayer? What is it supposed to accomplish for those who practice it? Why do people choose to forgo this discipline that has proved to be invaluable and essential to spiritual growth and the discernment of spirits over the centuries? What are the contemporary cultural crises confronting today's would-be Examen practitioners provoking distrust, fear, or dismissive attitudes towards it? How can an Examen faithful to Ignatius original method be modernized to address the mindset of today's Christians? This book in its three parts takes a new approach to answer these questions. It provides a new analysis on how Ignatius' spiritual Examen disciplines were developed, the challenges inherent in practicing them, and a dynamic new reading of the Examen called Sacred Story. This book will give you the spiritual tools you need for a practical, daily prayer discipline that incorporates principles of spiritual discernment.

Download or read book My Hometown written by Robert Victor Williams and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-02-09 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born November 17, 1958, I grew up in Kansas City (north), in a middle-income family of six kids""four older brothers and one younger sister. The area was called Northtown, and most were proud to be living there. Mostly I spent my childhood days in "the woods"""a large wooded area next to our house on Main Street. I went to the woods for the most part to have a great time with my friends, but it was also an escape from my home life. By the time I came along, my parents were pretty much strapped for cash and would drink their time away usually with one argument after another concerning finances. My bedroom was usually right next to the living room, so I got to enjoy all the misgivings of their anger at life. I could always tell they were once fun-loving people; but I can never recall a fun time that did not end up in a disappointment. I often wondered why I was being subjected to all this""perhaps it was a preparation. This writing is a journey through faith, mental illness and, most substantially, mental ignorance that was triggered by social and occupational dysfunction of my environment. How could I combat prophesies and revelations of the past and minimize disturbing people's beliefs and livelihoods? It came to me to write a book that people are free to either accept or reject on their own terms, in their own time frame. The title My Hometown just came to me (I believe by God and the Holy Spirit) as I was writing my open house speech. I had no idea at the time what I was going to experience, but I did believe an incarnation had taken place, and I wanted to share the experiences with as many witnesses as possible in the most painless way.
