Seeing with the Heart

About this book

"Here is my secret. It's quite simple: One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes." -The Little Prince Respected Jesuit educator and spiritual director Kevin O'Brien invites you to recognize the opportunities to uncover your meaning and purpose as you navigate the turbulent river of life. Seeing with the Heart is a tour de force that weaves together the author's personal experiences, the 16th-century wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola, and the insights of sages, poets, artists, and storytellers through the ages. O'Brien reveals how we can realize our potential by embracing our struggles with courage, our questions with curiosity, and our destiny with boldness as we tap into our deepest desires and live lives of authenticity. Journeying through this book, with its inspiring prose and practical spiritual exercises, will cause a dramatic shift in your perspective. Your day-to-day life will be transformed by a better understanding of who you are and what you are called to be, as well as by a closer relationship with God and others. As O'Brien writes, "If we persist on the journey, with its signposts in the form of questions, we might discover something remarkable: this God whom we seek and question is actually seeking us more." What do you seek? Seeing with the Heart will help you discover the answer. 2024 ACP Excellence in Publishing Awards, First Place: Spirituality 2024 Catholic Media Association Book Awards, First Place: Spirituality Classical
