Based on selected insights of Fr. Ronald Rolheiser, O.M.I., Longing for the Holy: Spirituality for Everyday Life is for those who want to enrich their sense of the presence of God and develop a deeper spirituality. It concerns the way we channel the deep longing at the core of our beings and explores the implications of the central mysteries of faith-the Incarnation, the Eucharist, and the Paschal Mystery-for spirituality. Attending to the cultural challenges that keep us from realizing our true desire, it considers the important themes of church community, justice, sexuality, the practices of the spiritual life, and being a mystic of the everyday.
"We need someone to name the essentials. The Holy Longing tries to do that and Longing for the Holy: Spirituality for Everyday Life is a huge help in highlighting those essentials and making suggestions as to how we might integrate them more into our lives."
Fr. Ronald Rolheiser, O.M.I.
" A very Good guide for faith-sharing meetings, incorporating several important sources. Father Rollheiser's insights put the concepts of traditional Catholic spirituality in contemporary terms, which have proved helpful to many."
Fr. Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R.
"RENEW International has done it again! In Longing for the Holy: Spirituality for Everyday Life they have mined the depths of Rolheiser's classic work, and made faith sharing, grounded in authentic Christian Spirituality, a journey worth taking."
