We have fallen out of belonging. Consequently, when we stand before crucial thresholds in our lives, we have no rituals to protect, encourage, and guide us as we cross over into the unknown. For such crossings, we need to find new words. What is nearest to the heart is often farthest from the word. This book is an attempt to reach into that tenuous territory of change that we must cross...
In sharing words of profound grace and wisdom, master storyteller John O'Donohue—author of the international bestseller Anam Cara—offers in Benedictus blessings to shelter us as we confront the many challenges we face on our journey through life.
We are living in an anxious world—a world so often dominated by unwelcome change, unhappiness, uncertainty, and even despair. Now, more than ever, we need this collection of blessings and thoughts, covering areas such as Beginnings, Desires, States of the Heart, Callings, and Beyond Endings—it is a vision of hope and belonging for this sometimes troubled world.
There are blessings in this book—for birthdays, anniversaries, deaths, and many more. Some are long, some are short, but all touch the heart.
