By Mark E. Thibodeaux
Book Review
I want to call it a daily devotional but I suspect for some they will read this is one sitting and then go back to discern it more fully. Perhaps it could be described thus: A series of brief, accessible reflections and questions for spiritual exploration.
It follows the way of Ignatius of Loyola of thinking in terms of desolation and consolation. It gives wise metaphors to allow the reader to ngage with the short workshop pieces.
I say workshop pieces because I can imagine this being taught/ facilitated in a group setting. There are various well known Ignatian stories along with new ones that Mark has found to be helpful in his work as a Spiritual Accompanier. Monkeys on backs being one of the metaphors to ensure the Accompanier does not join in with some weltsmertz.
A short read and a long read, a dipping in and out of and a prescribed journey. How can we avoid the false spirit? I could write reams just about that. Go read for yourself!
