The Interior Carmel: The Threefold Way of Love (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781998492398)

"The more we are emptied of ourselves, the more we are filled with God. This presents in its essence the whole process of the spiritual life, with its polarity of negative and positive phases, or, as the Chinese would express it, the Yin and Yang aspects. This polarity between nature and grace, man and God, is patent in all the Beatitudes, of which the first is: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. This constitutes the starting-point of the way of love, and gives, as it were, a bird's eye view of the whole way."

Finally back in print after fifty years, this book will resonate with anyone seeking to understand the spiritual life as a dynamic process. Written from a unique perspective of a completely Chinese and completely Catholic scholar, The Interior Carmel offers both a roadmap for personal growth and an intellectual framework for understanding the inner workings of love and sanctity. Dr. Wu's intellectual and spiritual journey exemplifies the harmony between his Chinese heritage, his Catholic faith, and his profound dedication to service. -from the foreword by Vincent L. Wu, Jr.
