Heart to Heart: An Eight-Day Retreat

by Kuenja C Chung PH D, Msgr Richard Mahowald S T D (Foreword by)

Overview

The title of this book, Heart to Heart, is from the eight-day retreat. On the eighth day of the retreat, Fr. Chris, the retreat director, gave me three scripture passages and the "Contemplation to Attain Love" to pray. The theme of the day was God's promise of hope. He said that these prayers were "heart to heart" and recommended I pray with my heart rather than with my thoughts. I didn't understand clearly what that meant, but it became clearer to me when I finished the three scripture prayers. It was a beautiful and perfecting experience, which transformed the troubling prayers in my mind into prayers that were heart to heart.
