My expectations were probably a bit off coming into this book. As the title says, these are spiritual exercises which were "preached." They are not spiritual exercises in themselves, though each sermon ends with some though-provoking questions. Forte makes some very interesting points, and is particularly strong when he recounts the "biography" of someone from scripture. And though I am not Catholic, I found the sermons on Mary which ended each set of 4 sermons to be as interesting and thought provoking as the others. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Foreword by Pope John Paul II Translated by David Glenday A little more than a year before his death, Pope John Paul II gathered his closest aides for an extended retreat at the Vatican. During this retreat Bruno Forte offered a series of meditations revolving around Jesus' words in John 8:12: "Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life." Now translated by David Glenday and collected in this lovely book, these meditations draw us into the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and orient us toward the mission of the church. A master of thoughtful questioning, Forte shepherds his readers through the classic Ignatian spiritual exercises: a day of purification, a day of illumination, and three days of reflection on Easter, the church, and mission. Each day includes four meditations, two reflecting on the day's theme followed by two careful considerations of scriptural texts. Forte concludes his meditations with questions that provoke deeper reflection on our own faith journeys. Thoughtful, insightful, and nurturing, Forte's book has much wisdom to offer all Christians who desire to follow more closely the "Light of life." Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
