Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity was a devoted Carmelite sister who had a special relationship with the Holy Trinity. Her patience and enthusiasm for prayer helped her to lead a life that was holy, although brief. While outlining her strong spiritual characteristics, this book also teaches readers the secret of Saint Elizabeth’s prayer through being a witness to her life. The divine indwelling of the Trinity, gazing on Christ, unity of prayer, and a busy life helped her find great power in her prayer. These secrets gave peace to her soul and can bring it to yours as well. Much like Saint Thérèse’s “Little Way,” we have a great deal to learn from Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity. Her example shows how to lead a holier life, how to integrate a deeper prayer life with a busy routine, and how to grow in love and fellowship with the Lord. Written by renowned spiritual director Father Jean Lafrance, this book will inspire readers as they embark on a new or ongoing prayer journey to find the Trinity in their hearts. Let this benevolent saint be your spiritual guide in teaching you the art of prayer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available in English for the first time, this short book is a powerful introduction to the spiritual wisdom of one of the Church's newest saints: Elizabeth of the Trinity. There was nothing extraordinary in Elizabeth of the Trinity's life. There were no ecstasies. She didn't work miracles. She didn't communicate heavenly messages through visions or words she heard. Instead, she presented a message to modern man through her own life of fidelity, showing us that the true road to contemplative prayer is not an ascent to grasp God, but a descent into the depths of one's heart. She teaches us that only by drawing our souls inward can we move toward bold abandonment and achieve immersion in God, thereby connecting our spiritual lives to the eternal praise of the saints in heaven. In our noisy culture, Elizabeth of the Trinity reminds us of God's power to establish in us a profound and peaceful stillness. She reminds us that that the Trinity is our home, and that God has created us in order to be united to Christ. In these pages, Sister Giovanna della Croce presents a brief and readable introduction to the teachings of Elizabeth of the Trinity, showing us the truth path to contemplative prayer. St. John Paul II considered Elizabeth of the Trinity to be one of the most influential mystics in his spiritual life. Now you, too, can begin incorporating in your own spiritual life the mystical wisdom of Elizabeth of the Trinity.

Download or read book Spiritual Direction: A Guide for Sharing the Father’s Love written by Fr. Boniface Hicks and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for spiritual direction—or the accompaniment of a spiritual guide—is becoming more prominent in a world where so many are suffering from so many wounds. With a harmonious integration of both timeless spiritual wisdom from the Catholic Church’s tradition of prayer and direction, and the insight of the psychological sciences, Fathers Thomas Acklin and Boniface Hicks offer a comprehensive guide for all who provide or seek spiritual direction. Spiritual Direction: A Guide for Sharing the Father’s Love fortifies priests, religious, and lay faithful who embrace the ministry of spiritual direction and accompany the wounded, assist men and women in hearing the voice of God, and model the love and mercy of the Father for the many who are seeking Him but do not know Him or have false images of Him. This book also shows how various aspects of the spiritual life can emerge from and be fostered by a one-on-one relationship with a spiritual director. Together with concrete guidelines and numerous examples from personal experience, this book refers extensively to Sacred Scripture as the foundation for spiritual direction. Furthermore, since the practice of spiritual direction goes back to the first centuries of the Church, the authors turn for guidance to the Doctors of the Church, the writings of the saints, and the papal magisterium in developing and supporting their insights. Spiritual Direction will call spiritual directors to deeper holiness even as they assist others in growing closer to the Father through His loving gaze of mercy.
