About Spiritual Exercises To Serve For The Annual Retreat
This book of spiritual meditations was written by a senior Carmelite in the early 20th century. The discussions upon spiritual topics of God, sin and the virtuous imitation of Jesus are eloquent and thought-provoking.Being known for their intense devotion and insight into matters of faith, the Carmelites have contributed much. Famous for their visions and commitment to the devout life, the Carmelites command respect as a Catholic order filled with purpose and will to worship the Lord. The author of this work, whose name remains anonymous, headed a Carmelite convent and received the greatest instruction upon matters of faith – a finer commentator could scarcely be desired.Divided into ten days each consisting of multiple meditations, this superb work covers topics such as the birth and life of Jesus of Nazareth, and the meaning of His deeds on Earth. Various pivotal points in the life of Christ are discussed, in particular his teachings and connections with the twelve apostles. The agonizing end of His life upon the crucifix, and His subsequent resurrection, are given a lucid commentary by the author. We are also treated to serene advice on topics of sin and prayer, and of leading a Christ-imitating life of virtue and goodliness.
