Prayer in the Cave of the Heart by Cyprian Consiglio Pdf
Prayer is an art that cannot just be taught. It must be experienced, lived, and practiced. In Prayer in the Cave of the Heart, Cyprian Consiglio draws on his experience as a Camaldolese monk to give readers an accessible reflection on prayer that is based on Bede Griffith's universal call to contemplation." In this text, the contemplative traditions of East and West intersect to invite readers into prayer that makes them "present to the Spirit who is already present to us."
DeepLight: A Memoir of the Soul is a rich narrative of a contemporary woman's spiritual quest. Within the context of her extensive study of religious and mystical traditions, and her experiences as a woman, a monastic, and an Episcopal priest, Susan Creighton weaves a spiral tapestry of memories, journal entries, and poetry. Her search for an authentic practice of contemplative prayer led across cultural, historical, and religious boundaries, but is most significantly shaped and enriched by the teachings of mystics like St. John of the Cross and the ancient tradition of Orthodox ascetical theology and spiritual practice. Now living under vows as an anchorite, her memoir shares with the reader ways in which the Jesus Prayer and other spiritual practices lead to deeper contemplative prayer as well as helping us develop greater discrimination and compassion for ourselves and others.

"What astonishing work and far ahead of its time, even though it is based on an ancient prayer practice..." Deborah Heartwood, MA, Sr. Prayer Chaplin, Unity Churches Unity Reverend Carol Ruth Knox shared her encounters with the Divine and the lessons she learned from them. Her messages were an anomaly for New Thought ministers. Instead of using the Divine to manifest health, houses, or relationships, she taught that God is everywhere - in every situation, even the most difficult ones. Sometimes life is hard. "But you are never alone," Carol Ruth would say, "God is here in this hard time, too! I'm not here to make your life easier," she cautioned, "I'm here to help you grow deeper." In this Book, Prayer of the Heart, Rev. Knox explains how she survived some of the darkest times of her life - her 'Dark Night of the Soul'. She shares, "I felt barren and bitter and experienced an overwhelming feeling of bondage. Do you? Are you bored and bicker a lot? Do you feel as if you are inside a gray cave and you don't know how to get out? Do you feel your relationships have not treated you right, your living situations don't work, and your general way of being is like a low-grade headache? Are you married to the 'perfect person', have a wonderful job, sleep for ten yours but you are not at all renewed and have no zest? Right. I tried to think correctly and did 15 different workshops, and even experienced spiritual 'openings' only to have them close down again and I returned to the same 'drone of consciousness' and did not'break out of the cave' Then I began the Prayer of the Heart work and entered a whole new level of spirituality."
Midlife is more than a crisis. It is a summons to grow and a challenge to change. Midlife beckons one inward. It is a move to interiority, a passage to the deeper places where we discover our authenticity, where we realize both our limitations and our grandeur.
Effectual Prayer Nourished in the Heart by Christ by Rick D. Bawcom Pdf
The way you think of prayer will influence the way you approach praying. If perceived as mere duty and obligation, there will be no relational joy experienced. However, if prayer is participation in a vital connection, an essential lifeline, between your soul and your God through Jesus Christ, prayer moves into a different light, a new perspective, a living relationship. Prayer presents itself as God’s gift and the only avenue to enjoy communion with the Godhead: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Think of it: actual connection and companionship between you and the Almighty! Understanding this relationship, purchased by Christ, is the purpose of the book you hold in your hands. The Lord Jesus found great delight in the presence of his Father. The bond of eternal love, satisfaction, and enriching fulfillment clearly displayed itself in the atmosphere of his prayers. If you heard him, you would want him to teach you to pray. God the Father knew this about you. The disciples witnessed Christ praying, and it compelled them to ask, “Lord, teach us to pray.” This little volume expounds his answer. The nurturing influence of Christ through the indwelling Holy Spirit gives life to genuine prayer in the child of God. Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance to bless us. Rather, it is laying hold of his great willingness to do so. Come and enter the heavenly atmosphere of this reality. Developing an effectual prayer life is a process of growth in the believer’s relationship with God. It is an invitation to be a colaborer with God in Christian maturity. It is a lifelong pursuit. This book expounds on some of the essential ways Christ nourishes the soul in effectual prayer.
A perennial problem for spiritual traditions of all sorts is dualism—either a positing of a false distance between the Divine and the created or a rejection of creation and the human body. Many contemporary spiritual seekers have sensed this problem and sought to remedy it through myriad solutions drawn from various spiritual traditions and secular wisdom, both Eastern and Western. Cyprian Consiglio, OSB Cam, explores Christianity’s contribution to the discussion. He offers a revisioning and rearticulation of this teaching, based on the prophetic seminal work of Bede Griffiths, toward a practical and integral spirituality that reverences all aspects of our being human—spirit, soul, and body.
Someone's Praying, Lord is a book of prayers written specifically for situations of daily life--prayers for the high times and the lows, prayers for times of happiness and sadness, prayers in the morning and those at night. This book is made up of prayers that struggled, in many different times and places, to be born within one's life; to speak to God, not just for oneself but for other people too, those feelings most deeply felt, those longings most secretly longed, and those words most passionately needing to be said. They are offered in this form as expressions of what one person, "standin' in the need of prayer," felt and said in that moment when his heart was most touched by God.

Say What Your Longing Heart Desires by Niloofar Haeri Pdf
Following the 1979 revolution, the Iranian government set out to Islamize society. Muslim piety had to be visible, in personal appearance and in action. Iranians were told to pray, fast, and attend mosques to be true Muslims. The revolution turned questions of what it means to be a true Muslim into a matter of public debate, taken up widely outside the exclusive realm of male clerics and intellectuals. Say What Your Longing Heart Desires offers an elegant ethnography of these debates among a group of educated, middle-class women whose voices are often muted in studies of Islam. Niloofar Haeri follows them in their daily lives as they engage with the classical poetry of Rumi, Hafez, and Saadi, illuminating a long-standing mutual inspiration between prayer and poetry. She recounts how different forms of prayer may transform into dialogues with God, and, in turn, Haeri illuminates the ways in which believers draw on prayer and ritual acts as the emotional and intellectual material through which they think, deliberate, and debate.
