This simultaneous desire for hiddenness and poverty is essential to a contemplative life. They together set the contours of territory within the inner spirit for meeting God. They together make the soul a fitting and hospitable place for an encounter with God.

—Fr. Donald Haggerty

from his book The Contemplative Hunger

SURRENDER TO GOD

Offering an abundance of insights into the value of silence, deep faith, trust, and interior surrender to God, Father Haggerty also illumines the link between contemplation and love for poverty and the poor, and makes a strong appeal to the importance of prayer as the primary answer to the crisis of faith that afflicts so many people today.
