Description

In the tradition of Christian mysticism, including Bernard of Clarivaux, Gregory the Great and Ambrose of Milan, the well-known Cistercian Abbot, M. Basil Pennington, shares his reflections on the bible's most challenging mystical text. In this extraordinary volume, Pennington is joined by the profound Jewish artist, Phillip Ratner, whose inspired works call forth from Pennington, not only mystic prayer and rich analogy, but also the deepest sentiments that are common to every mind and heart. Pennington gently indicates practical steps that can be taken to fulfil the aspirations we often push aside or ignore out of frustration. Enriched by Jewish and Christian faith, the drawings and meditations speak to every person desiring to connect with their own humanity and their deepest, most human longings. It is a story of love - human love aspiring for the Divine.
