Walking Together: Discovering the Catholic Tradition of Spiritual Friendship

by Mary Deturris Poust (Author)

Discovering the Catholic Tradition of Spiritual Friendship Addressing a growing modern hunger for deep soul friendships, popular Catholic New York columnist and Our Sunday Visitor blogger Mary DeTurris Poust looks honestly but hopefully at today’s culture, where people feel increasingly isolated despite the advent of myriad gadgets designed to keep them “connected.” In ten practical chapters, Poust explores issues such as commitment and acceptance, the virtues that make for a lasting friendship, the importance of listening, open communication, and praying together. Readers will find here the guidance and encouragement to take the next step in developing spiritual friendships in their lives, one of the basic necessities of spiritual life. Not surprisingly, there are many references to and a great love for St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal.
