30 Days to a Vibrant Spirituality
By Fr. David KnightBy special arrangement with Twenty-Third Publications
(Participation fee: $5.00 per household)About the Theme
Saints make the spiritual life look easy—and also out of reach for most of us. But Fr. David Knight says nothing could be further from the truth. In this special 30-day online retreat opportunity, adapted from Fr. Knight's 30 Days to a Vibrant Spirituality, Fr. Knight lays out practical steps to enrich your prayer life, get more out of Mass, deepen your relationships, discover what’s mystical in your life, and get to know God as deeply and passionately as God wants to know you!
This exclusive online opportunity consists of 30 daily reflections, posted on our blog and available when ever and where ever it is convenient for you. Use the reflections for personal prayer, journaling, or discussion with family members, friends or colleagues. This is one of the most practical and potentially life-changing online opportunities we have ever offered, and is well worth the investment of 30 days participation.
From the Introduction to the original 30 Days to a Vibrant Spirituality
This booklet is about the "nuts and bolts" of daily spirituality. You won't find a booklet that
presents more simply and concretely what you have to do to grow to the fullness of life that is
the perfection of love.... At the same time, you will not find many booklets that will take you as
deeply into the mystery of living the Christian life....
Christian life is a mystery--the mystery of sharing in the divine life of God. You can't really
experience Christianity until you have some awareness of living on the level of God. And this
is an experience you keep growing into all of your life.
God is a mystery; you don't know God until you get some idea of the mystery of what and
who God is. So yes, this...will take you into mystery. But it will do it so easily, so simply,
that it won't hurt at all.
-- Fr. David Knight.
