Infinite Horizons – Scripture Through Carmelite Eyes

In Infinite Horizons, the author examines themes from Scripture relating to the spiritual life: prayer, including the example of Mary and the priestly prayer of Jesus; the mystery of human suffering; and prayer with the Holy Spirit. There is also a helpful introduction to lectio divina, with guidelines for practising it individually or in a group. All this is viewed ‘through Carmelite eyes’: not just through those of the author, but primarily those of five major Carmelite saints – Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Thérèse of Lisieux, Elizabeth of the Trinity and Edith Stein – whose lives and writings contain valuable insights which can enhance our understanding of Scripture.
