Emotions such as anger or sadness or desire arise within us, often without our directly willing them. But we are still free to choose how we respond to them. How can we better understand our God-given emotions and manage them so that we gain the emotional equilibrium and healthy balance we need to take charge of our lives, grow closer to Christ, and share in the joy of his love? In this insightful and easy-to-read book, Catholic therapist Art Bennett and his wife Laraine explain how our emotions affect us and how our thoughts, attitudes, and behavior can affect our emotions. In a conversational and non-technical way, the authors address these and other questions: What are the effects of temperament and our past experiences on our emotional health? Can we trust our feelings? When do our emotions become destructive? How do past emotional wounds affect our present-day emotional balance? - Outlines the Catholic understanding of emotions. - Uses real-life examples of people dealing with emotional issues. - Helps us see how managing our emotions can lead to healthier relationships with others as well as growth in virtue and a closer relationship with the Lord. - Includes questions for reflection and prayer at the end of each chapter.

Millions of people today are looking for healing. Whether it is healing of bodily ailments, emotional ailments or spiritual ailments, all these can be a burden on us. Jesus, during his life time, healed people from all kinds of disease - body, mind and soul. Even today, people come to Jesus looking for a miracle healing and countless have their prayers answered. However, if you are expecting a miracle, it takes more than just asking. One factor is the action of faith. The Bible clearly shows this in the story of the paralytic brought in through the roof by four men. "And when Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "My son; your sins are forgiven." {Mark 2:3-5} This scripture-based therapy helps us build up our faith as we implore God's healing grace. Another important factor is our ability to forgive those who hurt us. Forgiveness is crucial for inner healing. The ability to totally forgive, gives us a feeling of total freedom. The prayer formula in this book guides us through the process. The Catholic Prayer Therapy for Divine Healing is a scripture-based prayer guide for anyone seeking spiritual, emotional and physical healing. Like its counterparts in the series, it has been in use for over a decade and has been instrumental to countless miracles. This is the first time I am publishing it in the book form. If you would like me to pray along with you, or have a testimony, send me a message through the email at the end of the book. May God Almighty hear and answer your prayers. Amen.

Spirituality and religion are fundamental to all human cultures. Yet in the helping professions, whose shared objective is to promote human well being, questions of spirituality have often been avoided. Now we are increasingly realising that scientific materialism and individuality have failed to meet enduring human needs for meaning and connection. Evidence mounts for the importance of spirituality for prevention and intervention in times of crisis, distress and illness. Many professionals find themselves ill-prepared to respond to the spiritual needs of their clients, and to negotiate encounters with people from unfamiliar faith traditions. Spirited Practices shows how it is possible for professionals to think critically, and be open to spirituality at the same time. Professionals and teachers from diverse faiths and fields of work, including social work, health, psychology and ministry explain how they have integrated spirituality into their work. Spirited Practices is inspiring reading for anyone in the helping professions seeking to develop a spiritually aware practice. 'It invites us to look honestly at ourselves and our own practices through learning about those from other professional and faith backgrounds.' Richard Hugman, Professor of Social Work, University of NSW 'A much needed forum for practitioners from diverse professional and spiritual backgrounds to address the challenges and rewards of spiritually-sensitive practice.'

New - 3rd Edition!There is an ordinary path to holiness. Not common! Not usual. But simple, and true.It is not easy to hear whispers in a chaos of noise - and Truth comes in whispers.It is not easy to see Truth right before one's eyes, while looking for figments of imagination.It is not easy to grasp the firm anchor, racing with the crowd in stampede for escape.Bright, clear, unmoving and eternal - Truth exists! And He calls us into the holy, into the beauty, into the True - but we have to learn to listen so as to hear. We have to learn to walk all over again, as a learner - a disciple - following the true Teacher, no matter the cost. Jesus brought Truth, and it is here, and it is free and it alone is freeing. Why then is there so much confusion? Why so many "opinions" and so little certainty, or lasting happiness, or deep peace? Why? Many are too busy to really listen and be surprised by Truth! And learn, and follow His way to holiness.How do we work out our salvation? What ought we anticipate, and likely meet, on this journey through - and to - life? If we know the purpose of our life, do we have the wisdom we need to attain that purpose, even through the trials and temptations we are sure to encounter? We are called to holiness, and Jesus is the Way!Many holy saints have found in Him, the ways of His way. There is an "ordinary path" - many have walked it, and their wisdom has been treasured in His Church for centuries. Many seekers, however, have yet to find this path, and many contemporary teachers and spiritual guides have failed to teach this path, even to today. This ought not be.There are today many new attempts to renew, awaken, invigorate and vivify the Church and her members! There are many program packages, including guides, books, videos, training manuals, leaders, and so on. Many of these new programs promise much, but deliver little that is lasting, because they lack the depth, the wisdom and the unction that is needed for this task! They look for new insights, but fail to see what is there already, in the traditional wisdom of the Church.Persons sincerely seeking holy Truth, eternal Truth, no matter the cost, need God Himself to guide them. The wisdom, depth and unction that is needed was found by the holy saints, and embraced by the holy saints, and lived by them. Their examples, their writings and experiences are the foundations of the "renewal program" that the Church needs, and that you and I need personally, to grow in the life of Christ. He the Lord will guide us, in His Holy Spirit, if we will avoid the latest innovations that come and go, and receive instead, and cling tenaciously to all that is proven, trustworthy and true.This book presents the traditional Catholic spirituality that has been tested and proven in the lives of the saints. Our spiritual life develops and grows in a way not unlike our physical, emotional and intellectual lives. There are stages of human growth, stages common to our growth both in natural human life and in supernatural spiritual life. We have an "interior" life ordered to our calling to true, personal communion with God the Holy Trinity. That interior life is intended to grow, develop and mature. And if we will follow Truth, we will find all that we seek. This book is offered to help the sincere seeker find, and grow, toward the "all" He created us for: beatitude in Him.Author:R. Thomas Richard, Ph.D., has earned degrees in ministry and theology, as well as in physics. He has taught at the college and high school levels, has served as a Protestant pastor, and in missionary work among migrant farmworkers. After returning to the Catholic Church and earning a graduate degree in Catholic theology and ministry, he began work in religious education and especially the formation of adults. He is author of the book, The Interior Liturgy of the Our Father, and serves the Church today with his wife Deborah in adult faith formation.

Many of us struggle to understand and receive food as a natural gift from God. Some of us eat too much food. Or we eat too little. Often, we eat without gratitude, without charity, without respect. But, as award-winning author Emily Stimpson Chapman explains in The Catholic Table, with a sacramental worldview the supernatural gift of God's grace can transform and heal us through the food we make, eat, and share.

Review'It is in the person-centred approach that [Kaitlyn] has experienced a gate-way into the world of spiritual reality with all its unknowns and challenges. With meticulous care the reader is guided into this terrain with exemplary skill and no little passion. The result is a book which serves as an admirable text for those in training as well as an invaluable resource for seasoned practitioners who are perhaps less familiar with the role of the person-centred therapist as a spiritual companion. Readers will also be inspired by encountering an author who often writes in a style of rare beauty and expresses complex thoughts with exquisite clarity. The pages on 'soul love', for example, constitute one of the finest expositions of this compelling subject that I have ever read. To study this book is in itself to undertake a therapeutic and spiritual pilgrimage which may prove transformative.'From the Foreword by Brian Thorne, Emeritus ProfessorProduct descriptionAt one level, this book is an impassioned plea for the field of counselling and psychotherapy to take more seriously the spiritual dimension of human existence and to 'put the soul back in psychotherapy'. At another level, the book constitutes an in-depth exploration of a spiritually oriented person-centred approach which is based on an integrative therapeutic model called the core self model. The author traces the journey of the self through the stages of life and looks afresh at the process of becoming a person that Carl Rogers first described over fifty years ago. In so doing she draws not only on humanistic person-centred theory and practice, but also on the truths to be found in the world's major spiritual traditions. Finally, on a more practical level, she considers what it might mean to be a spiritually oriented person-centred therapist and discusses the key principles involved in working effectively with the kind of spiritual issues clients may bring to therapy. She also explores the concept of 'soul work' and considers how this might be incorporated into person-centred therapeutic practice.

Mindfulness has come a long way from its days as an obscure Buddhist meditation technique known only to monks and a few New Age enthusiasts to what it is now-one of the hottest new spiritual practices of our day. It's being used by people of all ages, from all walks of life, for everything from gaining self-awareness and inner calm to treating PTSD and other anxiety disorders. Corporate executives, Hollywood stars, medical doctors, teachers, secretaries, and even clergy are avidly embracing it. But what exactly is this practice? Where does it come from and how did it become so popular, so fast? And what about all the media hype surrounding its much-publicized effectiveness for our mental health and well-being? Even more important, is this practice compatible with Catholicism? A Catholic Guide to Mindfulness attempts to answer these questions in a concise but compelling exploration of one of the most intriguing psycho-spiritual movements of our time.
