This book, Ardent Adventures & Fish Tales, has not been written for general publication or profit. If anything it is a personal autobiography intended for the personal use of my family and a few valued friends. If by chance it ends up in the mainstream I would be honoured if it elicits some measure of interest. The book is a collection of my own personal stories of ardent adventures and fish tales specifically involving my sons and dearest ones as they have been part of my adventures, and written as my legacy for my grandchildren, their grandchildren and so on down the line. If they so choose I want them to be able to learn a few things about my life and perhaps get a feeling for who I was as a person. I have so many unanswered questions about my dad and by writing these books my intention is to give those who come after me some perspective of who I was.

New - 3rd Edition There is an ordinary path to holiness. Not common Not usual. But simple, and true.It is not easy to hear whispers in a chaos of noise - and Truth comes in whispers.It is not easy to see Truth right before one's eyes, while looking for figments of imagination.It is not easy to grasp the firm anchor, racing with the crowd in stampede for escape. Bright, clear, unmoving and eternal - Truth exists And He calls us into the holy, into the beauttiful, into the True - but we have to learn to listen so as to hear. We have to learn to walk all over again, as a learner - a disciple - following the true Teacher, no matter the cost. Jesus brought Truth, and it is here, and it is free and it alone is freeing. Why then is there so much confusion? Why so many "opinions" and so little certainty, or lasting happiness, or deep peace? Why? Many are too busy to really listen and be surprised by Truth And learn, and follow His way to holiness. How do we work out our salvation? What ought we anticipate, and likely meet, on this journey through - and to - life? If we know the purpose of our life, do we have the wisdom we need to attain that purpose, even through the trials and temptations we are sure to encounter? We are called to holiness, and Jesus is the Way Many holy saints have found in Him, the ways of His way. There is an "ordinary path" - many have walked it, and their wisdom has been treasured in His Church for centuries. Many seekers, however, have yet to find this path, and many contemporary teachers and spiritual guides have failed to teach this path, even to today. This ought not be. There are today many new attempts to renew, awaken, invigorate and vivify the Church and her members There are many program packages, including guides, books, videos, training manuals, leaders, and so on. "Church renewal in a Box Prepackaged - everything you need " Many of these new programs promise much, but deliver little that is lasting, because they lack the depth, the wisdom and the unction that is needed for this task They promise new insights, but fail to see what is there already, in the traditional wisdom of the Church. Persons sincerely seeking holy Truth, eternal Truth, no matter the cost, need God Himself to guide them. The wisdom, depth and unction that is needed was found by the holy saints, and embraced by the holy saints, and lived by them. Their examples, their writings and experiences are the foundations of the "renewal program" that the Church needs, and that you and I need personally, to grow in the life of Christ. He the Lord will guide us, in His Holy Spirit, if we will avoid the latest innovations that come and go, and receive instead, and cling tenaciously to all that is proven, trustworthy and true. This book presents the traditional Catholic spirituality that has been tested and proven in the lives of the saints. Our spiritual life develops and grows in a way not unlike our physical, emotional and intellectual lives. There are stages of human growth, stages common to our growth both in natural human life and in supernatural spiritual life. We have an "interior" life ordered to our calling to true, personal communion with God the Holy Trinity. That interior life is intended to grow, develop and mature. And if we will follow Truth, we will find all that we seek. This book is offered to help the sincere seeker find, and grow, toward the "all" He created us for: beatitude in Him.
The prayer given us by Jesus - the Our Father - is the perfect and complete prayer, and more.It is the standard; it is the norm for all our prayers and our life of prayer. And still more.The prayer, the Our Father, prayed and lived in the Holy Spirit, guides us step by step in the spiritual, interior journey to Eternal Life.The Our Father leads us from our very beginning, first awakened as Christians, to the summit of the maturity of Christian discipleship - to blessed communion in God the Holy Trinity. We need such a prayer, because we need to truly encounter, and meet, with God.This prayer is simple enough for a child and yet deep, intense and profound enough for a saint. It is easily kept in memory Yet it cannot be exhausted of its meaning and significance to us in a million lifetimes. The Our Father deserves a lifetime of meditation and it bears fruit for those willing to be open to its wisdom.The Our Father reveals, in its brief form, correspondence with the holy wisdom of traditional Catholic spirituality. This traditional spirituality has been followed for centuries in the Church by her saints, and is known as the "Three Ways" - the Purgative, the Illuminative and the Unitive stages of the interior life. The spiritual insights of Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Bernard of Clairvaux, and many other saints are found enclosed in this simple prayer.The structure of the Our Father, further, is seen to correspond with the structure of our Holy Mass - the very "source and summit of the Christian life." Thus the Our Father is a guide into perfect worship of the Holy Trinity. The Our Father reveals the will and the work of God in us - and as His divine work, inviting us to a saving participation and cooperation with Him, it is rightly called "a liturgy" - an Interior Liturgy at work in the praying human soul.
Lectio Divina is an ancient and time-tested method of listening to the Holy Scripture. It was developed long ago in monasteries, but has been received and gratefully practiced by Christians for many centuries. It is a way of listening to Scripture so as to hear the divine Author; of listening to the words so as to hear the saving Word. Lectio Divina has been recommended to the Church today by Popes St. John Paul II, Benedict XVI and now Francis for all in the Church - clergy and laity alike. Although found more commonly among Catholics, all Christians could find in this simple discipline a completely Biblical path of discipleship. As the title indicates, it is simply a way of meeting Jesus in the holy word. This edition is a small book, but it presents the practice of Lectio Divina in its practical application as well as in its spiritual heart and substance. We the Church need what we can learn from Lectio Divina And the world needs us to learn it, to know it and to live it. R. Thomas Richard, Ph.D., has earned degrees in ministry and theology, as well as in physics. He has taught at the college and high school levels, has served as a Protestant pastor, and in missionary work among migrant farmworkers. After returning to the Catholic Church and earning a graduate degree in Catholic theology and ministry, he began work in religious education and especially the formation of adults. He is author of The Ordinary Path to Holiness and The Interior Liturgy of the Our Father, and serves the Church today with his wife Deborah in adult faith formation.
