Divine Intimacy written by Fr.Augustine Kolencherry SAC

The Book Divine Intimacy written by Fr. Augustine Kolencherry SAC who possess Doctor's Degree in Theology, He is very spiritual and a zealous missionary always inspired by the Charisma of St. Vincent Pallotti.
Divine Intimacy is a handbook meant to lead the reader to contemplate the face of the Lord. Pondering the Word of God we reach the vision of the Godhead. Meditation on the mystery of the Lord’s Passion, Death and Resurrection led the holy mystics to be lost in the bliss and sweetness of the Lord. An authentic method of prayer is one that is rooted in the person of Jesus who was in constant contemplation of the face of the Father especially in silence and solitude. This book reveals the treasures of the personality of Jesus whose mysteries unfold in our contemplation. In the Eucharist, the eternal victim offered, eaten and adored will throw light on us and enrapture us in its splendour and majesty and will set our hearts afire.
