Pięć filarów życia duchowego. Praktyczny przewodnik po modlitwie dla zabieganych

by Robert J. Spitzer

Płynna nowoczesność. Pośpiech. Pieniądz. Zmęczenie. W dzisiejszym świecie życie duchowe, które kwitnie i wydaje owoce, jest możliwe. Robert Spitzer SJ nie tworzy nowego ani rewolucyjnego systemu – sięga do skarbca Kościoła i wydobywa drogowskazy, które przez wieki nie straciły na aktualności. Eucharystia, modlitwa spontaniczna, błogosławieństwa, współpraca z Duchem Świętym i życie kontemplacyjne to filary, na których opiera się życie duchowe. Wyciągnij po nie rękę, oddychaj pełnią swojej duszy.

Wonderful discussion of contemplation and its importance. Very practical steps to take to grow in faith.

Father Spitzer's discussion of the beatitudes had ideas I had never thought of before and I hope to continue meditating on them and putting them into practice. I also appreciated his emphasis on praise and gratitude. His discussions throughout the book were deep but practical.

Excellent book on prayer. Of course its written by a Catholic priest so some of his suggestions will be hard for a Protestant to carry out. This book basically gives suggestions on deepening your spiritual life through effective prayer. He gives five means in which to draw closer to God - 1) the Holy Eucharist, 2) spontaneous prayer, 3) the Beatitudes, 4) partnership with the Holy Spirit and 5) the contemplative life. Its very good.

Father Robert Spitzer, S.J., is a physicist/scientist and was the President of Gonzaga University. He is a Jesuit Priest. This is an incredibly rich resource for living the discerning life of St. Ignatius of Loyal and bringing discernment and prayer into everyday living. There is also a DVD of the Television series that accompanies this book sold separately.

[John Teske · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very practical book on deepening faith life. Found the explanations excellent. The book does begin a little clumsily; that being said, the second and remaining chapters are just fine.

Overall, I plan to save this and reread it.
