 General Description:

How to sustain Christian hope in difficult days

Most committed Christians don’t like to admit it, but all too many of us serve God solely out of a sense of duty, without ever approaching the burning love and intimacy that the saints have with Him. Indeed, many believers don’t even think it’s possible to attain to the heights of holy love that built the great cathedrals and fired the martyrs to give their lives for their Lord. But in Awakening Your Soul to the Presence of God, Fr. Kilian Healy says that you can indeed — and should — develop this kind of love for God.

Clearly and warmly, Fr. Healy (who was once the superior general of the Carmelite order worldwide) explains that God is constantly calling you to intimate friendship with Him. In this beautiful book — brief enough to be read in one sitting yet with enough spiritual depth to last a lifetime — he details how you can develop your friendship with God even amid the cares and distractions of your daily life. Here you’ll find simple, practical ways to think of God continuously, to converse with Him intimately, and to please Him at all times. You’ll learn to see God in creation and to hear Him when He speaks to you (as He’s doing right now, even as you read this line). Finally, you’ll discover how to offer each day to God in concrete and fruitful ways, and to seek Him always. With Fr. Healy’s help, you’ll master these and other secrets of the holy ones — secrets that will raise your heart exultantly to God and will help you to welcome Him more fully into your soul.

Your soul will awaken to the presence of God in myriad ways as you learn:

  • How you can live with God at every moment by making use of the visible and commonplace things around you
  • Three ways you can offer God everything in your life — and begin to experience the marvelous effects of doing so
  • The one thing you must do, or you will never develop genuine intimacy with God
  • Falling in love with God: why such love between God and man is not just wishful thinking, but is part of every Christian’s call
  • The secret way of love for God that leads quickly and directly to divine intimacy — even if you’ve prayed fruitlessly for years
  • How you can become more aware of God’s dwelling within you — and see the events of your life the way He sees them
  • Three ways God is present to you right now: how to become fully aware of each

And much more that will help you walk continuously and joyfully in the presence of our loving God!

“A perfect book for a serious young person earnestly seeking to grow in the spiritual life. It’s also good for more experienced travelers on the journey.”
- Fr. Benedict Groeschel

When the inmates running the asylum get you down, relax for a few moments with thissimple, consoling book. It will help you discover reasons for hope even when it seems thatall is lost. And not just hope for the moment! You’ll also find here practical waysto foster everlasting hope within your soul.

Fr. Joseph McSorley alerts you to common but much-overlooked enemies of Christian hopeand teaches you how to avoid them. He shows how you can gain the faith that God really ispresent in every moment and in every situation — a faith that is indispensable foranyone who is trying to sustain real hope today. This book will give you solid comfortwhen you feel overwhelmed by the flood of troubles and bad news that seems to come everyday. You’ll learn here how to be truly hopeful even in the darkest of times.

Your spirits will soar as you learn:

  • How to maintain hope even in times of nagging temptation and tormenting pain
  • The one thing you must not do if you want to face the future with high spirits and courage
  • Why hope is both a part of and a condition for true health in your soul
  • Self-centeredness: why this subtle disorder is the mortal enemy of all hope
  • How you can learn to bring Christ’s light to even the darkest corners of human misery
  • Two kinds of religious people — and why one kind has a much better chance of defeating despair and temptation than the other
  • Three enemies of hope — and how to use the simple weapon that conquers them all
  • How do you act when you’re irritated or disappointed? It reveals a great deal about the state of your spirits — and your soul
  • The hardest spiritual lesson of all — what it is, and how you can master it
  • The two common obstacles to spiritual progress — and how you can overcome them
  • Are you a true Christian, or just someone who goes to church? The surprising way to tell

And much more that will bring lasting cheer to your soul, as you gain from these pagesthe true comfort of God’s perspective!

"A great benefit for all who suffer from discouragement.”
- John Cardinal O’Connor, Late Archbishop of New York
