In the summer of 1995 Mary Earle returned from a vacation
feeling refreshed and restored from her time away. A few days
later, all that changed, when she was rushed to the emergency room
with a case of acute and life-threatening pancreatitis. Being ill,
she discovered, forces you to learn to live in whole new ways, ones
often marked by limitation and fragility.
As a priest and spiritual director, Earle began to explore ways
in which her own prayer life might help her build a different
relationship with her illness. Using the Benedictine practice of
lectio divina, or sacred reading, she began to "read" her own
illness, and discovered a way of befriending and helping to
heal--if not cure--her body and her life.
In Broken Body, Healing Spirit, Earle introduces this strategy
to others who are hungry to find ways of living more fully despite
chronic or serious illness or pain. Her practical, step-by-step
approach to "reading the text of our illnesses," and learning to
listen to what our bodies are trying to tell us will be of help to
those who are currently suffering with disease or limitations, as
well as to those who are caregivers and counselors.
