A Sacred Voice Is Calling Personal Vocation and Social ConscienceApril 30, 2006 By Collegeville Institute John Neafsey Maryknoll, NY, Orbis Books, 2006 Visit this title on the publisher's website » What does it mean to find and follow our personal calling? How do we distinguish between the “still, small voice” of our authentic vocation and all of the other competing counterfeit voices in ourselves and in our culture? Specifically, how do we balance the inward listening to our hearts and the need to listen with our hearts to the realities and needs of our world? Drawing widely on the wisdom of saints, sages, and the traditions of spiritual direction, Neafsey describes a path to living in the place, as Frederick Buechner has put it, “where our deep gladness and the worlds deep hunger meet.” John Neafsey, PsyD is a Staff Psychologist at the Heartland Alliance Marjorie Kovler Center. He is a member of the Collegeville Institute Seminar on Vocation Across the Lifespan. Like this post? Subscribe to have new posts sent to you by email the same day they are posted.
