About this Book
Throughout the world, we find traces of an insatiable thirst to bow down spiritually
before the Mystery that surrounds life. We see it in a Buddhist temple and
in a mosque; in a Passover celebration and a Hindu Diwali festival. A mysterious
sense of the Absolute, the transcendent, urges us to reach out beyond all
that is around us, excavate deep within us and, above all, make some form
of declaration with the whole of our being that we want to be in harmony with
God, with others, within ourselves.
Christians believe the Mystery has not remained nameless but has opened up
to us in history and, above all, in the person of Jesus Christ. We see the
face of God in Jesus, in whom we live and move and have our being. He is the
Way who wants to be the Wayfarer among us.
Brendan Leahy offers reflections rooted in the Focolare’s communitarian
spirituality which stresses undertaking the Christian journey together and
the mutual sharing of what happens when we try to put the words of the Gospel
into daily practice. He also draws on insights of saints and spiritual writers
from a variety of historical and cultural settings. These ‘simple’
reflections mirror discoveries that Leahy feels he needs to constantly re-discover
in order to be most effective in building up the presence of Jesus among “two
or more” who are going to God together.
Some Reviews:
“Bishop Brendan Leahy offers reflections on a variety of spiritual themes
personal to his journey as a Christian and bishop. His reflections are poetic,
solidly grounded in the spiritual tradition of the Church and clearly "audible"
to the heart of every person seeking to find God in the midst of their hectic
everyday life. I highly recommend this book for daily meditation and spiritual
reading.“
Michael Mulvey,
Bishop of Corpus Christi
“In words
simple, yet profound, Bishop Leahy presents the spirituality of communion
of the Focolare Movement. He shares his personal experiences as well as quotations
from others. His writing has the characteristic of poetry. Everyone would
profit from reading this book and reflecting on its message.“
Msgr. Charles Quinn
