Benedict Groeschel "Anyone who wants to progress in prayer will find graceful help here." Bert Ghezzi  Author, Getting Free 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. In these pages Fr. Kilian Healy, who was once the superior general of the Carmelite order worldwide, explains clearly and warmly that God is constantly calling you to intimate friendship with Himself. 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). 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 God in a myriad of ways as you learn: Three ways you can offer God everything in your life   The one thing you must do, or you will never develop genuine intimacy with God    How you can become more aware of God 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!
