"Into the Future" explores the necessity of change for the Catholic Church's well-being and growth, especially in the context of our increasingly secular society. It reflects on how the church in its history has responded to similar changes and calls present-day Catholic disciples to remain faithful to the heart of the gospel message and to witness to that message in ways that are faithful and prayerful, seeking new ways of proclaiming the kingdom of God in our own time.
A treasury of vibrant beauty and thought-provoking verse, this anthology brings together the work of 23 notable Catholic poets born after 1950. It celebrates the depth and diversity of the Catholic imagination, highlighting "the myriad ways the Church has left its mark on the imaginations of these notable contemporary poets."
From personal reflections to explorations of faith, nature, life, and lament, these poems span a wide range of themes, styles, and forms, offering readers a rich tapestry of spiritual and creative expression. Whether capturing moments of beauty, wrestling with doubt, or addressing the complexities of modern life, this collection reveals the enduring influence of the Church on the poetic tradition.

A fascinating exploration of the ?assisting force? archetype, with powerful psychological tools and spiritual insights on how to find and work with these forces in your life?from the bestselling author of How To Be An Adult in Relationships. Psychotherapist David Richo draws from history, Jungian psychology, Buddhism, nature, and other spiritual traditions to illuminate our connection to the ?helpers? we call upon to navigate life. Some of the assisting forces in our lives are visible, and some are invisible. Some are with us for life; some come and go. Spiritual assisting forces could be bodhisattvas and saints?or partners in a relationship who are allies to one another. In this fascinating inquiry, Richo posits that the archetype of the ally is necessary if we are ever to be fully who we are. He shows us how assisting forces are in and around us, and how we can be one to others. Richo offers a compelling and accessible view?and time-tested practices including meditation, self-inquiry, journaling, and affirmations?that help us recognize and access the allies in our lives.

Description:
In this book, Fr. Keating points to the ultimate destination of the spiritual journey. He reflects on Eastern philosophies of enlightenment and awakening as he presents core teachings of mystical Christianity. Drawing parallels to advances in science and technology, as well as to teachings found in the Gospel of John and the letters of Paul, Keating invites us to become who we already are:
"It is a simple program, but hard to do. All you have to do is do nothing. It does not mean that you actually do nothing...Emptiness is not nothingness, but emptiness with an openness to becoming everything."
