{"product_id":"9781612613246","title":"Catholic Spiritual Practices: A Treasury of Old and New","description":"How did the maestro advise the young violinist?  There is a story of a young violinist who had an audition at Carnegie Hall. As she hurriedly exited the subway, she was momentarily disoriented. To her relief, she saw an old man with a violin under his arm and thought that surely he would know.  “Sir, can you tell me how to get to Carnegie Hall?” she asked.  “Practice,” he said, with a grin.  It’s the same way with Catholic spirituality–growing in faith is all about practice.  This collection by today’s most respected Catholic writers offers a compendium of these practices, traditional and contemporary, that can enable us to sustain and grow a vibrant spiritual life. This must-have volume will quickly become a trusted companion for an entire lifetime of engagement with the beauty and richness of the Catholic faith.
