Soul of My Soul

by Catherine de Hueck Doherty

Do you want intimacy with God? Prayer is the meeting place of two the love of God and our love. Thats all there is to prayer. Catherine speaks in Soul of My Soul with the authority of a lifetime of practice as she reveals the very heart of her experience and reflections on prayer. There is not a time to pray and a time not to pray. Hold the hand of the Lord and talk to Him anytime you wish. Go about your business; give your time to everyone and everything, but in your heart know that the Lord is very near. This is what our approach to prayer must be.

Flames of fire...

The great men and women of prayer were birthed in the fires of failure, trials and tribulations. Catherine lived on the empty side of the cross and found the furnace of prayer to be the place where her life was strangely warmed by Christ's love. Read this book and the flames of her fiery prayer life will warm yours.

Like Dorothy Day but from Russian Orthodox romantic mysticism rather than WASP Episcopalianism. Like Teresa of Avila but a lady married twice. Hearing a married lady with kids describe prayer as constant love-making hits differently than when a desert father says it. Sorry, Origen.

Wow! There was much for deep thought in this little book. It was wonderful.

Loaned to me by Teddy. I enjoyed some parts, other parts did not connect for me. Overall, I would say it is a good book. 3.5 stars

One of the best treatise on prayer I've ever read.
