TESTIMONIALS

“Today as in the times of Jesus, the faithful ask of priests, ‘… teach us to pray.’ This book is an answer to people’s desire to pray. Those who prayerfully use it, clergy and laity, will grow in their love for Scripture and grow in a deeper intimacy with the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They will learn how to speak ‘heart to heart’ with the living God.” – Archbishop Samuel Aquila, Archbishop of Denver, CO

“Every summer seminarians from across the country come together at the Institute for Priestly Formation, sent by their bishops, to deepen their prayer life and grow in communion with Christ. In Fr. John Horn’s new workbook Heart Speaks to Heart a similar experience within a review of life, coupled with the blessing of healing prayer, can touch the heart of every pastor and every parishioner concerned about growing in intimacy with Christ and tasting God the Father’s love.” – Archbishop Emeritus Robert Carlson, Archbishop Emeritus of St. Louis, MO

“Anyone who seeks to serve the Lord in sincerity and truth will benefit from this prayerful review of their life before the Lord. Heart Speaks to Heart offers new strength for service through a courageous remembering of one’s life before the healing image of Jesus’ risen, pierced Heart. This workbook-journal offers a valuable service when used in the formation of priestly hearts, providing a formation in personal prayer that is transformative and life-giving. If offered in seminaries, the potential value of Heart Speaks to Heart for the spiritual formation of the faithful cannot be overestimated.” – Bishop Joseph Hanefeldt, Bishop of Grand Island, NE

“This beautiful book developed a method to lead the reader deeper, in a living way, into relationship with Jesus Christ. Its strength lies both in its simplicity and in its prayerful discernment of the ‘how’ which directs the reader towards the ‘Who’ for whom we all long. This practical guide identifies a clear path into the mystery of communion with God.” – Dr. Suzanne Baars, Catholic Psychotherapist, Director of In His Image Christian Counseling Service, Irving, TX

“It brings the reader into the very heart of God. This fine, grace-filled workbook is a thoughtful and beautifully designed tool that allows the Holy Spirit to have his way with each reader. It’s the only way to live!” – Mrs. Adrienne Novotny, Director of the Cenacle of Our Lady of Divine Providence Retreat Center, Clearwater, FL

“The college students I encounter every day have a profound need to experience the truth and power of Jesus’ healing love for them. To say ‘Jesus is Lord of history’ is one thing. To have a lived experience of the truth that Jesus is Lord of every moment of my personal history is quite another. Heart Speaks to Heart offers the reader wisdom, encouragement and concrete tools to taste and see the healing love of Jesus available and victorious in each moment of their life.” – Fr. Scott Traynor, Director of the Broomtree Retreat Center and Director of Continuing Formation for Priests in the Diocese of Sioux Falls, SD

“If we are to win hearts for Christ, we cannot meet their depths with our shallows. This book provides a way to bring the deep cry of human hearts into conversation and contact with the infinite depth of Christ’s healing love. Let all who are thirsty come to the water! When hearts are drawn into conversation and relationship with Jesus, healing always happens. But how can we draw people into that conversation and into that relationship? Here’s your ‘how to’ guide! Thanks be to God!” – Dr. Ed Hogan, Academic Dean at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in the Archdiocese of St. Louis, MO

TESTIMONIALS

“This book will be of help to those who wish to reflect more deeply on their own experience of the Spiritual Exercises, as well as those who guide others in the ministry of spiritual direction. Father Horn shows why the Spiritual Exercises is a true classic.” – Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, S.T.L., D.D. Oklahoma City, OK

“Healing Prayer: Practical Mysticism and St. Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises implements masterfully the mystical practices that aim for a profound personal transformation through the experience of unity with the divine. Through the use of ‘case studies,’ we are offered a window into being drawn by our desires to be fully consumed in God’s desire for us through the deep seeking of both directee and director in the power of the Holy Spirit.” – Jane Guenther, Director of Catholic Renewal Archdiocese of St. Louis, MO

“Father John Horn, SJ, drawing upon the healing dynamics of the Spiritual Exercises, illustrates how the ‘everyday’ and the ‘practical’ provide the very substance of mysticism. The stories and reflections in this book offer tremendous hope and help the reader to see how everything human, brought to the light of prayer, becomes an opportunity for encounter and deeper communion with the Trinity.” – Fr. Christopher Murphy, Director of Spiritual Formation, Pontifical North American College, Rome, Italy

“For more than five hundred years, people have experienced powerful healing through encountering the transformational love of Christ in making the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius Loyola. In this book, Father John Horn, SJ uses real-life interviews with people who have made these exercises in conjunction with delving into the Theology underlying, to allow us to understand and appreciate more deeply the powerful gift that Saint Ignatius offers us in his teaching.” – Sheryl Moran, Spiritual Director and Co-Founder of Bethany Retreat Center, Archdiocese of St. Paul, Minneapolis, Minnesota

“The interplay of human memory and imagination at prayer is healing when connected to the living presence of Jesus. In my counseling, I have been privileged to witness the healing dynamic when psychological pain is allowed to be acknowledged and related to Jesus’ forgiving Heart that is described in this wonderful book. The Examen Prayer described in this work is a primary means through which we can daily access the forgiving, healing presence of Jesus’ Spirit. This work points the way to living in an on-going Pentecost.” – Dr. Richard Fitzgibbons, Director of the Institute for Marital Healing Philadelphia, PA

“With personal testimonies and sharing graces given from retreat participants, and the additional insightful theological contributions from Father Horn, this book is informative, challenging, and encouraging for both the retreatant and the spiritual director.” – Adrienne Novotny, Emeritus Director of The Cenacle Spiritual Direction Certificate Program (affiliated with Franciscan University, OH), Clearwater, FL

The Zygote of Christ & The Mystery of Man

by Francis Etheredge and Elizabeth Rex

A profound exploration of human ensoulment and personhood at the moment of conception, this bioethical and theological work reveals how the mystery of Christ’s incarnation as a one-cell zygote, from the first instant of His conception, can advance and illuminate the mystery of man. Drawing from Scripture, Tradition, Church documents, science, philosophy, and theology, The Zygote of Christ & The Mystery of Man defends human conception and embryonic life as an icon of the Mystery of God’s Creation and the Mystery of the Incarnation of Christ, emphasizing man’s (male and female) personal and relational identity with the Blessed Trinity as well as the mysterious co-participation of man (male and female) in God’s creative love at the conception of every human person.

“Make Your Home in Me is the perfect book for those beginning seminary formation. It approaches the topic of prayer in all simplicity and specificity. As young men move from lives in the culture of games and screens and bachelorhood to the intimacy of hosting Trinitarian love as celibates there can be no better introduction to prayer than Fr. Eamonn’s book. At our seminary we routinely gift all incoming seminarians with this work to great effect for their spiritual direction.” – Dcn James Keating, PhD, Professor of Spiritual Theology and Spiritual Director, Kenrick Glennon Seminary St Louis MO, USA.

“This book has been a foundation of the discovery of prayer for our seminarians.
