There’s so much noise. Everything can seem like a distraction. Distraction, in fact, seems our oxygen. When was the last time you saw people talking on an elevator? We seem to plug in everywhere. We have earphones and screens and don’t evenlook up, never mind find time for silence. Our hearts need quiet. How are we ever going to pray otherwise? How could we ever possibly know God’s love and will, and the truth about ourselves and the world without resting in Him?

Resting in Him. What does that even mean? In A Year with the Mystics, popular National Review journalist and commentator Kathryn Jean Lopez, who writes and speaks frequently about faith and public life, and prayer and the Church, offers readers a tour of the magnificent variety of mystical writing in the heart of the Church. Featuring reflections from both household and contemporary names like Saint John Paul II, Mother Teresa and Edith Stein, as well as titanic historic figures such as St. Catherine of Siena and John of the Cross. The words of these holy men and women of prayer are presented in accessible doses ideal for daily prayer amidst the seemingly all-consuming busy-ness of life.

Each page is an invitation to enter more deeply into the life of faith. What does the road to union with God look like? What is a dark night? What is true love of the Trinity? What is this Church as bridegroom business?

Mysticism is not some foreign and remote life of prayer for poets and saints in heaven; rather, it is the call for every Christian to draw more deeply and profoundly from the heart of Christ in prayer.

A Year with the Mystics is a tour, a retreat, and a love story in which God seeks you out. With the small commitment of a few minutes a day to prayer with mystic saints and other holy ones, you will be making time for communication and peace in the heart of the Trinity. Your faith will grow and you will see that the life of a contemplative in the world can be yours; it can become for you the air you breathe and a wellspring of renewal in your life as a Catholic, rooted in the sacraments.

This beautiful Premium UltraSoft gift edition features two-tone sewn binding, ribbon marker, gold edges, and designed interior pages.

Inspiring, a good way to start your morning

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

I've been reading this daily for over a month and I expect to read it and reread it daily for quite some time. I am pleased at how often the timing of the readings seem inspired or at least highly appropriate to my challenges. The first I read (moving to the numerical day of the year) was right on the money for troubles an adult child was facing, and the author's surname was a variant of my own. All of the readings are worth considering and the commentary and suggestions for further thought have been helpful to me. Highly recommended.

Classical spiritual direction and inspiration!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

I was immediately drawn to this book, and it surpassed my high expectations. I’m extremely grateful to Kathryn Jean Lopez for compiling classical mystical wisdom presented in such a beautiful book worthy to pondered as a prayer book. An investment in this book is an investment in your spiritual life that will pay dividends for years. This is the type of book that is passed down from generation to generation. The book would make a perfect gift for priests, religious, and lay faithful everywhere. I keep mine on my nightstand and open it daily and am enriched by each reflection. An excellent work not to be missed.

A Gorgeous Book With Great Quotes for Meditation

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

Absolutely beautiful book and well constructed. The quotes are long enough to get a good idea of what that particular saint/mystic was trying to say. I like the idea of not having the month and day printed out, just presented as "Day 1" or Day "137" although that is personal taste. It was actually better than I expected and should be able to withstand hard use and still look nice. Some of the mystics I've never heard of as well, that makes it refreshing. Expensive, but in my opinion it is well worth it.

For beginners in prayer and all seeking greater intimacy with the Lord.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

Ms. Lopez presents a wide variety of quotes and reflections to make the spiritual life of the mystics achievable for every sincerely seeking soul. I’ve delighted to learn about little-known saints and to read new powerful bits from well-known heroes of sanctity. The format brings together her own words, with quotes which reveal the intimacy of relationship with the Lord, along with a brief prayer- perfect for enhancing a robust prayer life or helping to establish one. The book itself is beautiful and a treasure that I look forward to returning to each day.

Lovely prayer companion

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a lovely prayer companion to pick up every day and read or to occasionally pick up and scan the pages for what speaks to you. Short prayers, scripture passages, quotes from saints guide the reader to a closer relationship with God. I loved it so much, I bought four more to give as gifts.

Lovely Devotional

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

Absolutely stunning on the outside and wisdom of the Saints flowing to the soul on the inside! Kathryn Jean Lopez did a lovely job with tying together quotes from various Saints, questions to ponder and succinct prayers —all under one cover. I suggest you buy two: one to keep and one to give away as this devotional makes a great gift! 😉

Every day prayer

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

I read it every morning. It helps me to start my day in a good way.
During the day I am reminded to love my neighbor from what I read earlier.
I am also reminded from the writing of others that God loves me and us.
And no matter our lot in life He is with us to depend upon.

Excellent, beautifully bound book. I gave it to 3 friends for Christmas. All 3 thanked me & commented on the lovely leather binding. I am reading the kindle version & find it to be inspiring. I re-read most of the devotionals.
