WELCOME TO Humility Matters for Practicing the Spiritual Life.
This is the third volume of a trilogy that began with Thoughts Matter: The Practice of the Spiritual Life:
and continued with Tools Matter: For Practicing the Spiritual Life. Thoughts Matter: The Practice of the Spiritual Life was an update of the teaching of
the fourth-century desert father John Cassian on the eight “afflictive thoughts”
that impede the spiritual life (thoughts about food, sex, things, anger,
etc.).
Tools Matter: For Practicing the Spiritual Life presented a wide variety of practices from the Christian
tradition, both ancient and modern, that help us lift our thoughts in prayer:
practices such as lectio divina, the Jesus Prayer, The
Cloud of Unknowing and The Book of Privy Counseling; Story of the Soul:
The Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux. Jean-Pierre de Caussade’s Practice of Self-Abandonment.
Humility Matters: For Practicing the Spiritual Life is St. Benedict's
teaching on humility enriched by the fifteen years Meg
spent in interreligious dialogue. “Humility,” she says, “is the essence of being
human. Humility for a disciple of Jesus Christ is what enlightenment is for a
Buddhist, surrender for a Muslim, realization for a Hindu, and sincerity for a
Confucian.”
