    About this ebook

    You can only go so far for so long before you find the limits of yourself. For Phileena Heuertz that moment arrived, mercifully, around the same time as a sabbatical to mark her twelfth year of service with an international organization working with some of the most vulnerable people in the world. Activists often see contemplation as a luxury, the sort of thing necessarily set aside in the quest to see the world set aright. But in Pilgrimage of a Soul we see that contemplation is essential—not only to a life of sustained commitment to the justice and righteousness of God, but to the fully human life that the Holy Spirit beckons each of us to. Tracing seven movements from a kind of sleepfulness to a kind of wakefulness, Phileena shows us that life is a journey that repeats itself as Christ leads us deeper and deeper into our true selves and a truer knowledge of God. This revised edition includes practices with each chapter, as well as questions for group discussion and individual reflection.

      An excellent read for anyone who is longing for a journey of self-realization in Christ and finding out their place of divine feminism. Since I was not able to relate to many aspects of the book, it did not speak to me in a way to garner 5 stars, but am sure others would greatly benefit from it.
    • 5/5
      This book can change lives. It is deeply experienced and beautifully written. Perhaps best of all for a book on contemplative spirituality, it is grounded in Scripture, Tradition, community, action, and experience in contemplative disciplines. I think it would be particularly powerful for women, and there are four or five I want to recommend it to (or buy it for).
