Download or read book Seeking Our Place of Resurrection written by Timothy Ray and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of Celtic spirituality lies a desire to find a person's "place of resurrection". For the ancient Celtic saints, this was a physical location an individual would actively seek out so they might spend the rest of their lives praising and waiting for God -- it was the place from which they were to be resurrected. In our times, Celtic spiritual writers usually understand the "place of resurrection" as the situation -- sometimes a location or community, but more often a social issue or problem -- where an individual experiences God in a deeply personal manner calling the person to some form of service. However we understand our "place of resurrection", seeking it out should be one of the central goals of our lives since it brings us into intimate and unique communion with God. Weaving together a variety of spiritual writings, from ancient hymns that would have been familiar to the Celtic saints through to prayers and songs which survived the centuries in Ireland, the twenty-seven prayer sequences in Seeking our Place of Resurrection invite men and women of faith to experience God's intense love in various aspects of their lives -- both spiritual and material. While each sequence stands alone as an expression of spiritual yearning, the prayers are organized into thematic clusters intended to help individuals explore different aspects of their spiritual neediness so they might recognize and accept God's loving response. This book also includes two prayerful reviews of the day as well as instructions for praying the sequences alone or in a group, guidelines for approaching these prayers thematically, and suggestions for selecting scriptural readings or music to accompany the prayer sequences.
Download or read book The Soul s Slow Ripening written by Christine Valters Paintner and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does God want for your life? Christine Valters Paintner, bestselling Catholic author and online abbess for Abbey of the Arts, uses reflections, stories, guided activities, prayer experiences, and a variety of creative arts to help you patiently and attentively listen to God’s invitation. Everyone wants to understand God’s will for their lives. Christine Valters Paintner shares one of the most ancient paths to understanding from her study of monasticism and immersion into Celtic spirituality while living in Ireland. The Celtic way, which Paintner distills into twelve practices, offers discernment that focuses on the environment rather than the intellectual focus present in other forms of discernment. It allows for what Paintner calls the “soul’s slow ripening,” coming into the fullness of our own sweetness before we pluck the fruit. Each chapter begins with a story of a particular Irish saint—some well-known like Patrick or Brigid, others less so, such as Ita and Ciaran—and then introduces a helpful practice for discernment that the saint’s life illustrates. Paintner explores the call of dreams, the importance of thresholds, the practice of peregrination (wandering for the love of God), walking the rounds, learning by heart, soul friends, blessing each moment, and the wisdom of the landscape and the seasons. Readers are invited to explore these concepts through photography and writing. She invites us to contemplative walks with specific themes along with poetic writing prompts for expression. As you explore an alternate way of discerning a spiritual path—one which honors the moment-by-moment invitations and the soul’s seasonal rhythms—you will discover that this book will help you become more aligned with creativity and wholeness.
