What is The Contemplative Hunger about?
A recovery of the essential importance of personal prayer and deeper spirituality is a notable development in the Church today. This longing of souls for a contemplative encounter with the sacred mystery of God is indeed a sign of the times. When it is nurtured properly and begins to burn as a passion of the soul, the love for prayer can become a lifelong quest. Written in a style of short and poignant meditations on prayer and contemplative spirituality, the concise reflections in this book address the heart of a soul’s interior response to God in any genuine contemplative life. The desire of God to draw souls to a deeper gift of themselves is inseparable from his desire to draw them into a deeper encounter with the sacred mystery of his presence to the soul in prayer. This book offers an abundance of insights into the value of silence, deep faith, the act of interior surrender to God, of contemplation and its link to a love for poverty and the poor. It makes a strong appeal to the importance of prayer and deep spirituality as the primary answer to the crisis of faith that afflicts the contemporary Church. The great challenges that confront a soul desiring to give itself in love
