Born the fourth child of a family of minor nobility and the great-nephew of Voltaire, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was a well-respected scientist and a Jesuit priest who tirelessly pursued the connection between science and religion. He felt that “only through purity of heart and not pure science, is one able…to discover, with certainty, a creator behind the forces of nature.” Seek Christ in all of creation. A mystic and visionary, Pierre’s spirituality unites what seems to be contradictory experiences—intellect and adoration, science and religion, evolution and creation. Pierre believed that creation was not a single act, but a process that has never stopped; a great continuous gesture which spans across the totality of time; the universe is clay in the hands of the Creator, molded into the infinite possibilities that lay before us. Ultimately, it is here, with open hearts to the world around us, that we find the fundamental energy and the manifestation of God in the universe—love of Christ, love of neighbor and love of all creation. Enjoy your time with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and be prepared to be surprised as you journey with one of the most engaging spiritual figures of our time.

Each volume contains: • A brief biography of the saint or spiritual leader introduced in that volume • A guide to creating a format for prayer and retreat • 15 meditation sessions with focus points and reflection guides This volume, 15 Days of Prayer With Thomas Merton, will lead you, over a period of fifteen days or maybe more realistically, fifteen prayer sessions, to a place of prayer where a stronger relationship with God is possible. Follow the footsteps of Thomas Merton. This simple, Cistercian monk was one of the most humane and engaging spiritual figures of the twentieth century. He was a man of paradoxes: of words and silence; a contemplative involved in the fight for social justice and a man of solitude who, by keeping himself in the background, sought to deepen the fundamental human experience. Ultimately, he was a man with only one goal: union with God and communion with humankind. Develop a contemplative spirit. One of the most prolific Cistercian authors, his teachings are drawn from classic and monastic spirituality. His approach is characterized by this quotation from his seminal work, The Seven Storey Mountain: “I don’t want to speak to you as an author or a narrator, not even as a philosopher but simply as a friend.” Above all, Thomas Merton sought to deepen the fundamental human experience through union with God. One word sums up his effort: contemplation. For him, the greatest need of today’s Christian is inner truth, nourished by the contemplative spirit. Enjoy your time with Thomas Merton and be prepared to be surprised as you journey with one of the most engaging spiritual figures of our time.

Follow the footsteps of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. A Carmelite nun who joined the convent at the young age of fifteen, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux lived a cloistered life of obscurity. Though she preferred hidden sacrifice during her short life, her words, her legacy and her “little way” have made her one of the more popular saints of today. Live the “little way.” Thérèse’s road was one of suffering, smallness, spir¬itual childhood, abandonment to the benevolence of the Lord, trials of faith, periods of painful spiritual barrenness and a life devoted entirely to love and to the Church. She felt within herself the music of holiness and she let it resound in her heart until it made her whole life an offering of love. Her “little way” or “way of love” would unify her life. She sums up her graced philosophy in this way: “To live in love is to live Your life, glorious King….[It] is to look upon the Cross as a treasure….[It] is to sail tirelessly, sowing peace and happiness into all hearts….” Enjoy your time with Saint Thérèse of Lisieux and be prepared to be surprised as you journey with one of the most beloved spiritual figures of our time.

Follow the footsteps of Saint Bernadette of Lourdes. Born into a humble family which fell into extreme poverty, Saint Bernadette of Lourdes was only fourteen when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to her for the first of eighteen visits near Lourdes, in southern France. A woman of faith, purity and innocence, Saint Bernadette maintained a state of childlike innocence throughout her short life and believed that God is Love and that he never stops calling us from our sin. “Pray for the sinners.” An obedient and humble girl, Bernadette was asked by Mary to “pray for the sinners.” She heeded the Blessed Virgin’s words and lived a life of humility and sacrifice. Although Bernadette endured the painful disease of tuberculosis of the bone, she served a faithful life as a Sister of Notre Dame until her death in 1879. Throngs of spiritual pilgrims still visit her incorrupt body and seek her powerful assistance in heaven. Enjoy your time with Saint Bernadette of Lourdes and be prepared to be surprised as you journey with one of the most engaging spiritual figures of our time.

With Saint John of the Cross, Teresa became an influential spiritual director and left for posterity a series of classic writings, including The Way of Perfection and The Interior Castle, her fullest statement on prayer and contemplation. Pray without ceasing Saint Teresa, as spiritual guide and director, places prayer at the center of our relationship with God. She recognizes the different kinds of prayer that may sustain us over the course of our lives, not only the mystical prayer for which she is best known. In addition to steadfast trust in God, Teresa insists upon intellectual engagement and good judgment as cornerstones of the holy life, objectives this 15-day journey will help you achieve. Saint Teresa of Ávila will be a faithful mentor in your spiritual education.

Showing no aptitude for a manual trade, he joined the Carmelite Order in 1563 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1567. Under the influence of Saint Teresa of Ávila, John worked to revive the primitive monastic rule, often against the wishes of religious authorities. Despite periods of imprisonment and banishment and almost continual harassment, John persisted in his advocacy of monastic reform and wrote many of his greatest poems and other works under extreme duress. Achieve union with God John of the Cross is best known as one of the Church’s great mystical theologians, and the central theme of his mysticism is that through a life of pure faith and love of God, the soul may attain union with the Divine. As your retreat master and companion, John challenges you to become like Christ — to be wounded and suffer with Him, to be consumed by His presence — and thus to be emptied of self, to be purified in heart and mind and finally to be overcome and transformed by His love. The ultimate consequence of your 15-day journey with John of the Cross may therefore be the deep mystical union with God that John placed at the center of the Christian life.

While living in Milan he came under the influence of Saint Ambrose and was baptized in 387. He became a priest in 391, a bishop four years later and produced an extraordinary body of writings — including the Confessions and the City of God — generally considered foundational in the history of Christian thought. Best known for his brilliant intellect, Augustine was also blessed with mystical insight into the Christian mysteries. Encounter Christ, the Eternal Word Saint Augustine shows us Christ but always in ways that are new, fresh and unexpected. “If you see love, you see the Trinity,” he tells us, and “Christ was born so we may be born anew.” Augustine weaves a rich tapestry of Christian thought, incorporating the Church, the sacraments, the Blessed Mother and above all the Trinity but never loses sight of “Love, the Fullness and the End” — divine Love manifested in Jesus Christ, the Eternal Word made flesh for our salvation. Here, then, is a 15-day journey into the very heart of Christian faith.

Transformed by this experience, Sister Faustina received a vision of Jesus in which she was instructed to produce the Image of the Divine Mercy. Encouraged by her spiritual director, she began to compile a diary of her mystical experiences and thoughts. Sister Faustina died of tuberculosis in 1938. Divine mercy revealed Saint Faustina Kowalska lived a spirituality that was founded upon a love for the Eucharist and strengthened by trust in the mercy of God. Jesus gave her the Chaplet of Divine Mercy with the instruction that she share this prayer with the whole world. Faustina reminds us that God’s mercy finds its completion in the sacrament of penance, which brings the healing that broken souls require. Deep devotion to Mary also inspired Faustina to a life of humility, purity and love for God. Praying with Saint Faustina will lead you to the joy and comfort that can only be found when you trust in God, seek His mercy and reflect that mercy in your life.
