Spiritual Growth Resource

Spiritual Direction: Principles and Practices, by Robert J. Morneau. Crossroad, 1992.

I read this little gem of a book years ago and am re-reading it lately. The title is misleading, as it is less a book about spiritual direction than one that actually provides direction to the reader. Topics include principles of prayer, discernment, asceticism, and spiritual direction, with additional reflections on reverence, spiritual exercises, joy, and Quaker spirituality. Each chapter is divided into short sections, with pertinent quotes from a wide array of authors, and Morneau's insightful contributions as well. Ideal for anyone at any stage of spiritual development.

Saint of the Week

St. Theophilus of Corte: 1676 - 1740

Saint Marian, an ordained lector, and Saint James, a deacon, were martyred during the persecution of Valerian around the year 259. Few other facts are known about them.

It seems that while they were in prison, each had a vision regarding his martyrdom. They drew courage from these apparitions and were able to courageously face death. They were joined in their deaths by other Christians.

Theology Note

Apophatic

Apophatic theology explores the position that human categories are not capable of describing the mystery of God. The word comes from the Greek word apophasis (ἀπόφασις) meaning "denial" or "negation." Apophatic theology is often referred to as negative theology.

Joke of the Week

Emailing Santa

As a little girl climbed onto Santa's lap, Santa asked the usual, "And what would you like for Christmas?"

The child stared at him open mouthed and horrified for a minute, then gasped: "Didn't you get my E-mail?"
