Here is a powerful, life-changing book that will help you understand and conquer the struggles you face in your spiritual life. It's a book for those who love the Lord and desire holiness yet often feel adrift or stagnant in their search for spiritual growth.
All of us encounter valleys on our journey with the Lord-those periods of spiritual desolation that are a painful yet unavoidable feature of our prayer life. Spiritual desolation is as complex as we are, so understanding what is happening and responding to it properly are critical to reaching the heights of holiness.
With warmth and understanding, Fr. Gallagher carefully identifies in this book the various forms of spiritual and nonspiritual desolation and supplies the remedy for each. You'll learn how to discern whether your struggles derive from medical or psychological conditions or whether those struggles are spiritual and permitted by the Lord for reasons of growth. You'll also learn the forms of spiritual dryness and of the Dark Night-and how to respond to them.
Fr. Gallagher presents a particular struggle and then provides the advice he gives to those who come to him for spiritual direction about that struggle.
To navigate the inevitable ups and downs of our spiritual lives, countless souls have found comfort and guidance in St. Ignatius of Loyola's Rules for Discernment. For the past forty years, popular retreat master and author Fr. Timothy Gallagher has been at the forefront of making St. Ignatius's Rules understandable and applicable to hundreds of thousands of Catholics seeking greater sensitivity to the movements of their souls. Now Fr. Gallagher returns with a more focused mission: to help you apply these rules to your role as a husband or a wife.
In Discernment of Spirits in Marriage, Fr. Gallagher aims to free you from discouragement and assist you in finding peace in your spiritual life and in your marriage.
With St. Ignatius and Fr. Gallagher as your guides, you'll learn: how to identify and remove spiritually harmful habits; the eleven forms of spiritual desolation and the four things you must do to combat it; why God permits spiritual dryness; the easiest way to resist temptation; your marriage's most vulnerable place and how to strengthen it; the four tactics of the enemy and the grace-filled responses you can offer to each; and the five ways in which God strengthens husbands and wives who seek to grow spiritually.
