APOPHATIC SPIRITUALITY:
The spirituality of the mystery of God as something we cannot picture or imagine because God is always greater than us. It acknowledges our inability to adequately describe God. Through it God is known by what He is not. Also known as the via negativa or the way of descent, it is sometimes called negative theology.

What is spiritual direction and my spiritual direction? What are my “blind spots” and how can I uncover them? What keeps me from all the spiritual riches Christ has for me? How can I better understand where I am in my spiritual progress?
Daniel Burke’s Navigating the Interior Life will give you the tools you need to understand how and why we grow and die in the spiritual life and what we can do about it.
Most of us have questions about spiritual direction. What is it? Is it for me? What if I can’t find a spiritual director? These questions and more are well answered in Dan Burke’s book. The Lord is clearly calling all Catholics into a deeper union with him. This book, in a style which is both inspiring and practical, provides some of the Church’s most important wisdom about how to respond to this call.
