Delve into fresh spiritual classics

The Spirit dwells in each of us and is expressed in myriad ways. The church treasures this rich diversity as “refractions of the one pure light of the Holy Spirit,” as the Catechism of the Catholic Church puts it. Too often erased historically, the experiences of women haven’t always been allowed to shine as brightly, however. And so we lift up writers such as Monica Coleman, Gloria Anzaldúa, Mary Oliver, Jung Eun Sophia Park, and Phyllis Tickle, renowned spirituality author who died on this date in 2015. Read one of these or another author whose particular “refraction” resonates with your own.
