Christopher MariclePaperback 2016-07-01
Publisher Description
We understand how trees grow and how dirt, seeds, water, and roots support their life cycle. Christopher Maricle explores a simple yet powerful metaphor from Catherine of Siena-the tree of the soul-as an accessible way to explain spiritual growth. The tree of our soul develops in the following stages: We begin with self-knowledge and knowledge of God. Grounded in the soil of humility, strong roots of love and compassion grow. Our soul expands as we exercise the soul's powers and virtues. We discern what actions our soul should take, and finally we bear fruit. Book jacket.
