The New Spiritual Exercises

Author: Louis M. Savary
Publisher: Paulist Press
ISBN: 0809146959
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 225

Book Description
One can say that the last true revolution in spirituality came with the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola. Many devout Christians use the Exercises unchanged from their origins in the sixteenth century. In the twentieth century, another Jesuit, Pierre Teilhard he Chardin, developed a revolutionary spirituality by integrating science and faith, offering us a new way to understand the Word of God and the immensity of the Universal Christ. Unfortunately, he never spelled out how to practice this new understanding in our daily lives. Louis Savary offers an approach on how the Spiritual Exercises could be re-envisioned for contemporary believers, using the transformative spirituality of Teilhard. The New Spiritual Exercises provides a vision of how a twenty-first century Teilhard might have adapted Ignatius' classic work-in the hope that Teilhard himself would approve. Book jacket.

Book Description
During the twentieth century, Jesuit priest-scientist Pierre Teilhaid de Chardin developed a truly innovative spirituality. By integrating both a comprehensive evolutionary perspective and the discoveries of science into Christian spirituality, Teilhard presented a new way to understand the Word of God and the immensity of the Universal Christ. While many books have explored and explained Teilhard's theology, there has never been a spiritual guide for everyday use of his principles-until now. Savary transforms these challenging and difficult-to-understand concepts into a more accessible spirituality. The Divine Milieu Explained also offers a series of spiritual practices and exercises that integrate science and faith according to Teilhaid's evolutionary spirituality. "His purpose....[was] to see spiritual reality today-in the world contemporary men and women live in. thoroughly informed and transformed by science and technology." Book jacket.
