“How do we develop a consciousness of wholeness in a breathless world of anxiety and competition? How can we overcome narrow individualism by expanding personhood to include all creaturely life?... To live in a spirit of catholicity is to live with deep awareness of God's life everywhere present and filling all things, the life of the whole.”—From the Foreword by Ilia Delio “Catholicity” is a concept that encompasses the entire dynamic of whole-making and diversifying. In this book, Mary Frohlich explores its application to our spiritual lives, that is, how each of us strives to construct a life that bears both the integrity of ultimate wholeness and the dynamism of real-life change, pluralism, and differentiation. She offers compelling arguments that “spirit” is the self-transcending, whole-making impetus that is built into human persons, and that awareness of it is most intense in spiritual events that electrify a person's sense of joyous interconnection with other people, the natural world, the cosmos, and/or God. |
