Secrets of the Interior Life by Archbishop Luis Martinez - Catholic Spiritual Book, 229 pp.
Bishop Luis Martinez, in Secrets of the Interior Life, declares, "The ways of God are not our ways, and the spiritual life is almost the contrary of what we fancy it." Luis Martinez, the Mexican bishop and mystic whose wise spirituality, rooted in St. John of the Cross and St. Therese of Lisieux, shows you how to enter into an intense, sustained communion with God. Bishop Martinez doesn't offer new rules of prayer or demand that you sbandon the forms of meditation that suit you. He simply reminds you that our God is a hidden God. To find Him, says Martinez, we have to seek Him, but through His ways, not ours. If we do that, the gaze of faith will always find Him right where He hides: in the spiritual desolation that led us wrongly to believe He was far away. Says Martinez: "Once you know how to profit from faith and to live by faith, you will always find God. You will have solved your problem; you will have discovered the great secret of the interior life." Let these pages teach you that secret.
