to awareness, a call to compassion for the needy, a cry of
distress, and a song of joy. It is a discipline of self-restraint,
a ritual of purification, and a sanctuary for offerings of
atonement. It is a wellspring for the spiritually dry, a compass
for the spiritually lost, and inner nourishment for the spiritually
hungry. from chapter 9
Though fasting is practiced in some form by nearly every faith

intimidating. And it doesn t have to mean going weeks without
food.

approaches, spiritual motivations, and physical benefits of this
ancient practice by looking at the ways it is observed in several
faith traditions. Inspiring personal reflections, helpful advice,

incorporate fasting into your spiritual life.

Own "Poetry and art and music seize upon the human experience in
ways that reveal new possibilities of intimacy with the Divine. In
the way they reach out and grab us by the heart at unexpected
times, they reaffirm that the Holy will meet us when it

fresh language and startling metaphors to describe the world around
him. Beneath the surface of this lovely verse lies a searching
soul, wrestling with and yearning for God. Hopkins writes from a
Christian background, and yet his themes speak to people of all
faiths who seek a deeper understanding of the presence of God in
all of life. This beautiful sampling of Hopkins's poetry offers a
glimpse into his unique spiritual vision that continues to inspire
readers throughout the world. The poems unite his two devotions,
presenting mystical images of Christ in the natural world, which
serve as a window through which you might also begin to see the
Divine Presence in the world around you.
