I committed to a Lenten reading discipline this year and chose Richard Rohr's Wondrous Encounters: Scripture for Lent as it was already on my Kindle and I had browsed it in previous years. I was glad I did as I appreciated Rohr's approach to the season and the scripture itself. He pulled together Old and New Testament passages and helped make larger spirituals connections that went beyond literal, temporal ideas about the writings. I was not familiar with Rohr and have been learning more about his connections to perennial philosophy. During these forty days of Lent, let's allow ourselves to be known! All the way through. Nothing to hide from, in ourselves, from ourselves, or from God. --from the Introduction. Richard Rohr, one of today's most prophetic voices, invites us to self-disclosure and to enter the wondrous divine dialogue with clarity, insight--and holy desire! These daily meditations for Lent are his gift to us for our transformation into our original image and likeness, which is the very image of God. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Rohr's meditations on the daily readings of Lent are not for the sake of mere information, or even for academia (although the author hopes it will satisfy both), but for the sake of our transformation into our original "image and likeness," which is the very image of God. What always and finally matters for all of us is encounter! Father Rohr begins each meditation with a single title or phrase that sums up the point. Then he offers the meditation followed by key passages from the readings. He ends each meditation with a Starter Prayer that invites you to self-disclosure and to enter the wondrous divine dialogue with clarity, insight--and holy desire! "There are two moments that matter. One is when you know that your one and only life is absolutely valuable and alive. The other is when you know your life, as presently lived, is entirely pointless and empty. You need both of them to keep you going in the right direction. Lent is about both. The first such moment gives you energy and joy by connecting you with your ultimate Source and Ground. The second gives you limits and boundaries, and a proper humility, so you keep seeking the Source and Ground and not just your small self."--From the Introduction No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
