There are moments in life that are either too numbing or too
exhilarating, too sad or too exciting for us to absorb. Death and
marriage, loss and victory can overwhelm us. There are times that
are too emotionally demanding or, on the other hand, simply too
common to comprehend: beauty in the midst of tragedy can leave us
speechless; the most meaningful of routines can leave us untouched.
Throughout the highs, lows, and in-between times we need to be
carried beyond the immediacy of the moment to realize the deeper
elements that underlie our lives. Listen with the Heart is a
profound and personal invitation to savor the sacred in everyday
life. Drawing from her formation as a Benedictine sister and her
international experience as a writer, speaker, and retreat leader,
Sr. Joan Chittister connects the ancient wisdom of monasticism with
the modern world. In each chapter she teaches us that rituals-those
formal patterns of behavior that mark the crossover moments of time
and make them sacred-can jolt the soul and wake us up to life.
Through ritual, as Chittister reveals, not only are the moments of
life celebrated, mourned, and noted, but also the sacred elements
in experience are made real. Meditations on and examples of
blessing, light, Lent, fasting, silence, prayer, naming, community,
rituals, music, table fellowship, wisdom, the mystery of death, and
the power of waiting equip readers to make the most of each and
every day. Listen with the Heart is an invitation to all of us to
seek the sacred, appreciate the ups, learn from the downs, and make
the mundane meaningful again.
