It engages the audience by introducing fresh reflections on the Principle and Foundation (to be read in the context of late medieval marriage vows), and by using, at length, several episodes in the Gospel stories (e.g. the nativity of Christ, the call to service of Peter's mother-in-law, the particular approaches of the evangelists to Christ's passion and death, and the place of Ch. 21 in John's theology of love) to show how contemporary biblical interpretation enriches possibilities for prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eResources for prayer are drawn from Christian painting, sculpture, music, literature (e.g., Pascal and Kierkegaard) and poetry. The author explores links between the Exercises and the traditional practice of \u003cem\u003electio divina\u003c\/em\u003e. In doing this, he illustrates the scope of teaching on \u003cem\u003electio divina\u003c\/em\u003e coming from the Second Vatican Council and shows how translators and commentators have missed the Council's use of the technical term \u003cem\u003electio divina\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e+\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8.9 x 5.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52739386802483,"sku":"9780809156405","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/K3NBY1NNMFE3aVlWWm9RVkRuUXRyZz09.webp?v=1764051087","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/spiritual-exercises-of-st-ignatius-of-loyola-a-lived-experience-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
