Now, he has decided to share this very personal collection with fellow seekers. He invites each of us to use these sparks of illumination as he does, as springboards for meditation, reflection and the deepening of our spiritual life.

He is the author of many books, including: Catholic Means Universal: Integrating Spirituality and Religion (Crossroad, 2000) and The Sacred Heart of the World: Restoring Mystical Devotion to Our Spiritual Life (Paulist Press, 2007).
