SPIRITUALITY BOOK CLUB
The November selection of the St. Angela Book Club is Reaching Out: The Three Movements of the Spiritual Life by Henri Nouwen. In this book Nouwen lays out a perceptive and insightful plan for living a spiritual life and achieving the ultimate goal of that life — union with God. Nouwen views our spiritual “ascent” as evolving in three movements. The first movement, from loneliness to solitude; the second, from hostility to hospitality; and third, from illusion to prayer. Throughout, Nouwen emphasizes that the more we understand (and not simply deny) our inner struggles, the more fully we will be able to embrace a prayerful and genuine life that is also open to others’ needs.
We will meet on Wed, November 11th at 7:00 PM in the Parish Office to discuss the book. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Kevin Corbett.
