Experiencing God: 36 Ways According to Saint Francis of Assisi - Jon M. Sweeney

Descriere Experiencing God: 36 Ways According to Saint Francis of Assisi - Jon M. Sweeney

\nIt has given me a friend in Saint Francis for a lifetime. A divine encounter. --Karen Kiefer, Director, The Church in the 21st Century Center, Boston College \n \nReplicable experiences of God according to Francis of Assisi, offered on the 800th anniversary of his death.\n \n \nNever have we needed more to experience God--to feel God. Francis of Assisi was spiritual before anyone used that word, and he was religious in the best ways. We love him because he cut through the paraphernalia to get back to religion where it belongs: working in the human heart, making a difference in everyday life.\n \n \nAnyone can do the things Francis did, summarized in these 36 ways of experiencing God. Examples offered through anecdote, text, and explanation include: \n \n\n \n- Free captive creatures \n- Pray alone in the woods \n- Allow yourself to weep \n- Stand between those who fight \n- Make a cross with your arms \n- Pray Who are you, God? And who am I? \n\n \nSweeney introduces each with faithful attention to the original sources and comparisons to spiritual teachers from other traditions, including Thich Nhat Hanh, Roshi Bernie Glassman, Evelyn Underhill, Richard Rohr, and Mary Oliver. \n
