Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound realm of the mystical life, a state of spiritual awareness characterized by a tangible sensation of God's presence within the soul. The author navigates the historical and theological landscape of this concept, drawing upon the insights of renowned mystical writers such as Alvarez de Paz, PÃÂ re Lallemand, and St. Teresa of Avila. The text explores the nature of mystical contemplation, distinguishing it from ordinary prayer and emphasizing its transformative power. It addresses common misconceptions surrounding the mystical life, such as its perceived incompatibility with active ministry and the belief that it is reserved for a select few. The author delves into the dispositions necessary for cultivating a receptive ground for mystical grace, including perseverance in mental prayer, the habit of recollection, humility, and mortification. The book also clarifies the distinction between desiring mystical contemplation and actively seeking extraordinary spiritual phenomena, such as visions or ecstasies. Ultimately, this book illuminates the path towards a deeper union with God, offering guidance and encouragement to those who seek to embark on this transformative journey. It reveals the mystical life not as an unattainable ideal, but as an invitation extended to all who yearn for a profound and intimate connection with the Divine.
