Roc O'Connor, SJ offers readers and fellow disciples, a pilgrimage of the spirituality of being an authentic searcher. This volume is not a quick page-turner. It is not an informational manual. It is a graced invitation coming from a well-traveled soul into his experiences of Faith and prayer, which he shares from his well-prayed spirit. It is written as a heart-to heart invitation for those seeking \"Authentic Intimacy.\" \u003cb\u003e- Larry Gillick, S.J., Director of the Deglman Center for Ignatian Spirituality, Creighton University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eMass Divisions \u003c\/i\u003easks how good Catholics can profess oneness in Christ yet still choose divisiveness over communion. Where do these divisions come from? How can we surmount them? In his important new book, Roc O'Connor, SJ, a talented theologian and legendary musician, explores the human condition to uncover a new yet challenging place for encountering Christ-in the very places that we disdain and reject in ourselves: in our inadequacies and insufficiencies, which you might call the side effects of our mortality - the source of our divisiveness.
