A little book with much to share

John Callanan develops the spiritual exercises of Ignatius Loyola using the methodology develop by Jesuit Anthony de Mello. This book contains practices for meditation as well as processes and material to reflect upon. Ignatian spirituality is an excellent method for those with a great imagination. And De Mello's use of this process integrates psychology and some eastern meditation exercises in an eclectic spirituality. The title of the book suggests that these exercises are designed to assist people to become aware of the spirit of the divine in the experiences that we have each day. De Mello helped people to re-awaken within themslves new perceptions and shake off the dispositions that were part of their field of formation. De Mello helps people become aware of what they believe and not be afraid of entering into this. This comes at a time when leadership in the Catholic Church has become very repressive with "internal assent" now the watch word from Rome. De Mello methods are subversive to the Congrregation of Christian Doctrine. But unity with God does not neep permission from Rome. These are the ideas, small and simple, that will bring the Church into the kingdom of God.
