| | Invitation to Love The Way of Christian Contemplation by Thomas Keating
"This
is an attempt to provide a road map, as it were, for the journey that
begins when Centering Prayer is seriously undertaken, and to point to
some of the recognizable landmarks on the journey as well as to its
ultimate destination...The regular practice of contemplative prayer
initiates a healing process that might be called "the divine therapy"...
The gift of contemplative prayer is a practical and essential tool for
confronting the heart of Christian discipline... while at the same time
establishing the climate and necessary disposition for a deepening
relationship to God and leading, if we persevere, to divine union.
This book covers information presented in the Spiritual Journey video tapes.

| | St. Theresa of Lisieux, Transformation in Christ
Commentaries on the spiritual life as seen through six parables of Jesus
and insights from the life of St. Thérèse. St. Thérèse has had a
profound impact on the spiritual life of Fr. Thomas … In his own words:
"[This book] was written in honor of Thérèse’s becoming the third woman
Doctor of the Church and as a token of my immense gratitude for her
inspiration in starting and sustaining me on the path of Christian
contemplation … St. Thérèse in my view is the key figure in the recovery
of the contemplative dimension of the Gospel in our time – a process
that is desperately needed … and is only just beginning to take root."

| | A
Daily Reader for Contemplative Living Excerpts from the Works of Father
Thomas Keating, Sacred Scripture, and other Spiritual Writings.
Compiled by S. Stephanie Iachetta.
From the forward by George W. Hunt, S.J.:
The book's structure is both simple and
elegant. Each day's text begins with a line of prayer, a 'prayer
sentence' that acts as both a theme and an invitation. Each closes with
an appropriate, longer citation from Scripture that is a biblically
based recapitulation of the theme. In between lies a brief reflection to
inspire meditation, each an excerpt from the writings of the Cistercian
monk, Father Thomas Keating . . .
| | A daily selection can be read as a lead in to a Centering Prayer sit or quietly and slowly at the end of a sit. |
