Description
In recent past, “missionary work” often meant bringing our familiar Gospel to faraway places and other peoples. In secular America today, however, even our own children know little about the Gospel. In this major volume, Ron Rolheiser offers original chapters on the question of secularity, and introduces leading voices in Catholic thought to show how Christian faith can thrive in a secular world. Contributing authors: Robert Schreiter, C.PP.S; Michael Downey; Mary Jo Leddy; Gilles Routhier; Robert Barron; Reginald W. Bibby; Ronald Wayne Young, OMI.

Domestic Monastery

What is a monastery? A monastery is a place set apart—a place to learn the blessings of powerlessness, and that time is not ours but God’s. Our home and our duties can, just like a monastery, teach us those things. The vocation of monastic men and women is to physically withdraw from the world. But the principle is equally valid for those of us who cannot go off to monasteries. Certain vocations offer the same kind of opportunity for contemplation and provide a desert for reflection.

The Fire Within: Desire, Sexuality, Longing and God
Read moreThe Fire Within: Desire, Sexuality, Longing and God
For most religious people, the words God and sex never go together.
God is conceived of as holy, pure, sexless, and as morally above the raw desires that so powerfully beset us. Sex, on the other hand, is conceived of as earthy and unholy, something we must snatch, and not without guilt, from the gods. Christianity has struggled mightily with sex; so too have most other religions. And yet when we look at sexual desire and ask where it comes from, there can be only one answer. It comes from God.
This is a book on desire, its experience, its origins, its meaning, and how it might be generatively channeled. Sexuality is inside us to help lure us back to God, but dealing with this fire inside us is a lifelong struggle. Ron Rolheiser sheds light on this mystery and the journey it takes us on in these tantalizing fragments that help give us permission to feel what we feel and know that God is still smiling on us.

The Holy Longing
Read moreThe Holy Longing
“A master weaver is at work here…I found my soul on every page. At last we have a guide who helps us know what to do with the fire of desire within us. At last a comprehensive, life-giving approach to sexuality. At last a dynamic understanding of how the paschal mystery plays in our own lives. At last a way to weave love for the poor and struggling people with the highest mystical love of God…I love this book” – Sister Helen Prejean, Author of Dead Man Walking
“Without doubt, Ronald Rolheiser’s The Holy Longing is one of the best books about Christian spirituality that has been published in many a year. It’s insights are just what all of us need at this moment of history. It blends the old and the new in ways that few others can do” – Most Reverend Rembert G. Weakland, O.S.B., Archbishop of Milwaukee
This book was originally published in Great Britain as “Seeking Spirituality”.
