SynopsisFr. Nortz masterfully builds upon the classic reflections of Sr. Marie-Aimée de Jésus, a nineteenth-century spiritual mystic and Carmelite nun, on the twelve degrees of silence. By cultivating these types of silence, you will find out how you can -- even amid your busy days filled with chatter, commotion, and noise -- listen to the voice of God. In these profound pages you will find ways to overcome your fear of silence and discover: Keys to obeying God's will Kinds of silence that are holy and kinds that are unholy Ten tips on what to do -- and what to avoid -- to bridle your senses Seven ways to guard your imagination and foster recollection How to direct your emotions with reason and foster silence of the heart Effective ways of responding to injustice You will learn the one sinful attitude that cuts us off from the merciful forgiveness of God and will acquire ways to stop passing judgment against others. Additionally, you will learn the most important attitude that disposes us to God's plans and allows us to enter into His love and converse with Him affectionately throughout the day. Moreover, you will find practical techniques for overcoming distractions in prayer and advice from the saints on methods of meditation to develop silence of the spirit. Above all, you will glean how to maintain peace of soul and live free from anxiety and despair, regardless of temptations or life's battles. By relying totally on God, you will fearlessly rise after falls and begin again. You will begin to see the loving hand of God in all things, contemplate the light of His presence, and "be still" in the silence of His love. "Holy silence is what helps the soul acquire the strength necessary to bear the presence of the all-pure God, who is ipsum esse subsistens (subsistent being itself)," explains Fr. Nortz. "The intensity of that fullness, far from inspiring languid inaction, produces a vibrant joyfulness that St. John expresses in the book of Revelation in terms of the saints singing with full voice.", The Word who spoke, "Let there be light" into creation is the same Word who guarded the people of Israel as the "apple of His eye" (Deut 32:10), and who spoke, "You are the light of the world" (Mt 5:14) to His disciples. He speaks this same word to each of us, His children, who are bound by the darkness of self-rejection. From the beginning, the devil has sown lies and doubts into our hearts about our true identity and the Father's love and care for us. It is in the Father's gaze of love that we discover who we really are - His own beloved children, heirs to His kingdom, partakers of the Divine nature, and the very light of His eyes. In fact, His own light is within each of us - a light that radiates to a suffering world. The Son of God came into the world in order to set us free from the devil's lies, to show us who we are and what the Father's love for His children looks like. God speaks to His children's hearts and gives to each the graces they need in abundance, beckoning to us from the cross to receive what He is continually pouring out over us. We all have a story to tell - a story that is both unique and riveting. Through engaging our stories, we begin to discover a God who has entered into the very heart of our wounds, and who is waiting for us to encounter Him within our wounds, thereby discovering intimate love and healing. Mother Illiana invites you here to walk with her though a little part of her story - a journey from self-contempt to basking in the gaze of the Father's delight in me - the same delight with which He is gazing at you.
