Love Awakened by Love: The Liberating Ascent of Saint John of the Cross
A skilled moral theologian, Benedictine Father Mark O�Keefe leads God-seekers to focus attention on St. John of the Cross�s teaching in The Ascent of Mount Carmel: The essence of the spiritual journey is union with God through the practice of the virtues, especially faith, hope, and love. It�s virtuous living that enables us to truly love God and be conformed to God in divine union.
For St. John, religious �experiences� are not the essence of the spiritual journey at all, nor is asceticism for its own sake. John�s emphasis on the nada is to lead us to liberating emptiness -- authentic human freedom-- that equips us to be filled with the divine life. At the journey�s summit, we find the God who is Love.
This book is an insightful companion to The Ascent of Mount Carmel. Ideal for personal and group study, Carmelite formation, college courses, and a must for every library.
