This Benedictine prayer companion presents a modern reworking of the ancient monastic practice of praying at set hours. For each season of the Christian Year, it provides eight short, simple prayer outlines, complete with readings: • Waking as an occasion for praise • Discernment at the beginning of the day • Wisdom for the mid-morning reflection • Perseverance at midday • Love as a focus of the afternoon • Forgiveness as the day closes • An invitation to Trust at bedtime • Midnight at the time to Watch Everything needed to follow the pattern of prayer is printed out in full, including scripture readings, short meditations, quotations from Christian writings, hymn texts and questions for reflection. Daily Prayer for All Seasons originated in the Episcopal Church of America (where it is authorised by the General Convention) and was compiled by a diverse team of priests, liturgists, writers and lay men and women. Bishop John Pritchard introduces this UK edition.

Looking for connections between his verse and prose, Colin Thompson argues for a theological understanding of the intensely beautiful and moving poems. He seeks to explain the principles that guide St. John in his exploration of the self and its encounter with the divine, and provides an analysis of the poet' most famous symbol - the dark night of the soul."--BOOK JACKET.

The book examines the use of mystical imagery in the literary works of the 16th-century Spanish writers and mystics, Santa Teresa de Jesus and San Juan de la Cruz. In addition to the variety of sources on which they draw and the influence they exercise on later generations, what emerges in the study is a multivalent use of diverse images that is the mystics' means of grappling with the ineffable nature of mystical union."

"Booz llegó a una colina que ascendía en el espacio. A medida que caminaba el horizonte iba descubriéndose y los valles y bosques, lagos y cascadas, ríos y desiertos, mares y peñascos, ciclos y astros; mostraron a su mirada la excelencia de la soledad del desierto, el murmullo del agua que se desborda en el abismo, la serenidad del lago, la vida frondosa del bosque, el río que como arteria alimenta a la tierra, la mar que guarda misterios y vida, los cielos que son espejismos y creación y los soles que iluminan al cosmos. Todo tenía vida, era refulgente en toda su plenitud; todo guardaba la primitividad de la bondad, el arrebato del amor y la sinceridad de la dádiva." Adalberto Garcia de Mendoza
