Description
This book reflects a personal journey that any of us may have experienced. Like many, I struggled with the complexities of life, the many challenges we all face every day. Spirituality has played an extraordinary role in my life. It has helped me deal with complexities and challenges; it has helped me learn, value life, build relationships, find peace, make decisions, deal with suffering, find meanings, and heal my soul. Spirituality has helped me to grow, mature, and be happy. Although many spiritual experiences have marked me, a couple of them had particular relevance. When I was 18, a monk of a Benedictine monastery in country-side Argentina shared a small book, The Way of the Pilgrim, a jewel of Christian spirituality. This book introduces ceaseless prayer, silent prayer, meditation and contemplation, great sources of peace and daily spirituality that became part of my life. During my ‘30s, I discovered Saint John of the Cross. His works continued the contemplative journey that The Way of the Pilgrim initi-ated. Saint John presents a complete spiritual journey, appreciating God’s presence in the creation and our lives, leading to knowing and loving him. When I turned 40, I decided to dedicate my life to understanding the impact of spirituality on our lives, especially on the lives of vul-nerable and suffering people. I wanted to follow a real-life, practical, concrete approach rele-vant to everyone living in the real world dealing with the complexities of life. This required ample study and research: I completed three doc-toral dissertations, three master’s degrees, and three postgraduate programs in spirituality, philosophy/ethics, economics, manage-ment, international business administration, and finance. This book is the outcome of that journey.
