    Encouraging “Spiritual Enthusiasm” in Our Lives!
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 18, 2021*

The Lord is always communicating with us in one form or another. We pick up “dribs and drabs.” Periodically, since we are hammered by the demands of our lives and the things around us, we need to take the time to let the Lord speak to us. A retreat is designed to do just that—give God the opportunity. It is like imitating Samuel, and we too are telling the Lord, “Speak, for your servant is listening!” He can speak to us in many ways: sometimes in patterns, sometimes in themes from Sacred Scripture, occasionally just in our hearts. It could be reflecting on a quote like in Saint Paul’s letter, “you are not your own, for you have been purchased at a price” (1 Cor 6:19-20). There is plenty to reflect on here, for days, a week. For me, I had a phrase that I had been coming across repeatedly as I prepared for a retreat this year, and decided to take with me, as if the Lord was trying to tell me something. It was “sober intoxication.” I had first come across it in the Confessions of Saint Augustine some time ago. But now I was seeing it often in varied places. To put it in its proper context it is speaking of “Sober Intoxication of the Spirit.” According to Father Raniero Cantalamesa, OFM, cap., who has this book also by this name, this was a “spiritual enthusiasm” which made the fourth century the golden age of Christian history. One way of looking at that was that the people back then, because of their great faith in Jesus, needed to be living out and supporting the church’s mission by teaching, serving, and sanctifying the people in their city and beyond Let’s say that by imitating Samuel and “listening” for the Lord to speak, it is like we are actively searching more clearly for the Lord in our lives. We see the disciples in the gospel doing quite the same.

    Spirituality for Engineers - this is my man!
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 21, 2016*

I never read anything like this.  Fr. Cantalamessa helped me, an engineer, to gain confidence for ministry in Catholic renewal by his "top-down" vs. "bottom-up" depiction of how the Holy Spirit really works.  The grace of the Sacraments comes reliably down from above...down through the heirarchy, where it's all tightly scripted and written into ritual books,  The grace of charisms and their manifestations of the Spirit all come from below...up through individual believers and moving unpredictably and utterly unscripted.  If fact the bottom-up stuff can seem even reckless--we can hardly anticipate a bit of it.  Cantalamessa reveals and discusses why the contemporary Church is so impoverished by the astonishing sparsity of bottom-up grace.  He writes it so clearly, I feel like I can actually SEE it.  This man has a truly unique gift.  No wonder he's been the non-stop preacher to the Pope and his household since the earliest days of John Paul II.

    Hermoso libro
  
  

*by A***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 5, 2020*

Fray Raniero recoge lo mejor del pensamiento de renovación carismática. Y lo une sabiamente con la corriente franciscana dándole frescura y continuidad. Es una obra que lleva a sincerarse con los demás sobre sus pensamientos con humildad, aunque el lector no esté de acuerdo con ellos.
