This noted spiritual writer, Fr. Maloney here demonstrates how the indwelling Trinity calls us to ecstasy through the transforming power of intimate love. Described here are personal and sacramental methods for emptying ourselves in order to allow the inner light of the Divinity to fill us and radiate from us. The book explores the ways our communication and communion with God deepens our self-knowledge and expands our capacity for obedient love. Fr. Maloney explains the power and the cost of abandoning ourselves totally to the ever present God. This abandonment transforms us into the body of Christ on earth and unleashes the power of God in the world. Following the insights of Meister Eckhart and others, the author illustrates the importance of being truly “womanly” in our receptivity to the infinite power of the Spirit.
