[Buy it!] | COLM LUIBHEID KALLISTOS WARE | USD 26.95
(Fri Jun 7 13:46:04 2024) | Biblio | Eighth Day Books | Paulist Press, December Date: 1982. Paper Back. New. Read chapter 18 of this manual, ''On Insensitivity,'' and experience honest terror; or chapter 28, ''On Prayer,'' and be reminded how limited and solitary our conception of prayer is, when we come across the following: ''Prayer is by nature a dialog and a union of man with God. Its effect is to hold the world together (emphasis ours)... prayer is the mother and daughter of tears...'' The work of the seventh-century abbot of St. Catherine's Monastery on Mt. Sinai, <i>The Ladder</i> is probably the single most important text in the spiritual literature of Eastern Christendom. Read in monastic refectories and churches every year during Lent, <i>The Ladder</i> is a text of utmost seriousness and earnestness. Psychological subterfuge and self-delusion are surgically stripped away, leaving the reader two choices: run away or repent. Introduction by Bishop Kallistos Ware. 1982. Paulist Press ISBN 0809123304 9780809123308 [US] |
