"When we speak to God, we must mean what we say; we must practice what we have promised; we must show forth in work what we say in word." -- Dom Eugene Boylan OCSOIt can be difficult to pray, but it is even more difficult not to pray. In this book, Dom Eugene explains what prayer really is, why it is necessary for everyone and how anyone can become proficient in it. Without using complicated language, he introduces readers to the main stages of the development of prayer and the spiritual life. He answers popular misconceptions regarding prayer, and teaches all not to be afraid of speaking to God using their own heartfelt words. He shows how even simple mental prayer can lead to the heights of mystical union with God.This book touches on many of the most common questions about prayer. How should we deal with distractions in prayer? How can we avoid being discouraged in prayer? How does prayer make us better? How can we learn to persevere in prayer, until it becomes an indispensable part of our daily life? At the same time, it goes beyond these difficulties in order to show how our personal lives of prayer are inseparable from our membership in the true Church founded by Jesus Christ.

Hardcover. Etat : New. No Jacket. First published in 1949, The Spiritual Life of the Priest was written as a guide for busy priests working in the U.S., specifically with American conditions in mind.

The book concludes with chapters that provide theological foundations for the interior life, so that priests can truly live their priesthood as friends of Christ.This book remains a "must-have" for priests who, due to heavier workloads, are challenged more than ever in maintaining their lives of prayer and the exercise of virtue. Laypersons who want to develop deeper lives of prayer and virtue will also have much to learn from this short but meticulously detailed book. Number of Pages: 176. book.

Hardcover. Etat : New. No Jacket. How can a priest become more like Christ? How can a priest maintain his zeal for holiness as his youthful idealism fades away? Numerous books have been written on priestly holiness, yet few apart from The Priest's Way to God successfully bridge the gap between the age-old traditions of priestly spirituality and the realities in which modern priests live.First published in 1961 (only a few years before the author's untimely death), The Priest's Way to God combines chapters giving practical advice on every facet of the priestly life prayer, the Holy Mass, and the exercise of virtue. It concludes with short but rich chapters on the theological truths that lie at the root of all spirituality charity, the indwelling of the Holy Ghost in our soul, and total union with Christ. It is a summary of the message with which Dom Eugene Boylan sought to inspire priests and laity alike that all are called to holiness, and are given the means and the graces to attain it as long as we cooperate with God.

"This book is an attempt to outline that love story of God and man, which achieves its consummation in the unity of the whole Christ; and to show that the spiritual life is a partnership of love between God and man which can be summed up in one word: Christ." -- Dom Eugene Boylan OCSOCan married couples become holy? Can anyone who is not a priest or a member of a religious institute reach the heights of mystical union with Christ? In this book, Dom Eugene Boylan, Trappist abbot and spiritual writer, shows how the faithful are invited into this intimate union with Him, regardless of their state in life.Few works can match the completeness of Dom Eugene's treatment of God's loving plan for mankind in This Tremendous Lover. He explains how the doctrines of the Redemption and of the Mystical Body form us in holiness through our membership in His Church. A chapter on the Blessed Virgin Mary outlines her essential role in the spiritual life, while a chapter on Marriage and Holiness explains just how exalted and yet attainable, is the ideal of holiness for married couples.First published in 1946, This Tremendous Lover sold more than a million copies. Decades after it was written, it remains a sure guide to understanding what the love of God for man truly entails. Number of Pages: 352. book.
