The author addresses the broad topic of devotionalism in the
Catholic Church—its implications for a mature spirituality in
individuals, and its impact on the ecclesial community. He does
this by examining a variety of well-known Catholic devotions across
cultural lines to probe the truth and meaning of each of these
lines of faith expression. I explore the benefits—and the
potential traps inherent in many of these devotions, and in
devotionalism in general. When the historical and cultural context
of a devotion is ignored and is directly applied with no
discernment process, distortions can, and do, occur. Using various
insights from the fields of theology, depth psychology,
anthropology, and spirituality, Clarke explores the historical
narrative behind many popular devotional practices and surveys the
principles of the ritualistic expression of their prayer practices.
Informed by the Church’s doctrine, he addresses the
misconceptions, superstitions, misapplications, and misalliances
behind some of these devotions. A strong linkage can often be
discerned between faith expression and national origin; this gives
space to a strange mixture of political and ecclesial influences,
and often leads to a cultic following. The author reclaims the
original fire of the creator of the particular devotion. Finally,
the author offers some helpful and healthy devotions for the
present historical context. Making a case for the need for an
embodied and prophetic spirituality, he then re-presents much-loved
devotions through that lens. These tools for adaptation will be
clearly spelled out and accessible to anyone seeking to deepen and
enrich their engagement with the divine. â€
