Awakenings: Prophetic Reflections
“A story of integration, that of a prophetic woman ever seeking liberating justice for her church and her world. . . .”
—Diarmuid O’Murchu
One of the most popular and influential spiritual writers of our time, Benedictine Sister Joan Chittister is also one of the most challenging, addressing pressing issues of church and society. Here are two dozen of her best and most representative essays on Women in the Church, Seeds of a New Spirituality, and the Monastic Vision. Wise and prophetic, they provide a wake-up call and a guide to anyone seeking a more authentic life.

Mary Lou Kownacki, also a member of the Benedictine Sisters of Erie, is former executive director of the Alliance for International Monasticism, USA. She was honored by Pax Christi USA as their Pope Paul VI Teacher of Peace 2006.
Mary Hembrow Snyder, an Erie Benedictine Oblate, is professor emerita of Catholic Theology & Religious Studies at Mercyhurst University.
My Theology: An Evolving God, An Evolving Purpose, An Evolving World
The God that we were brought up on is not big enough to be God. To be both religious and spiritual, modernity must be able to absorb the notion of a cosmic and evolving God. This notion redefines the place and purpose of humanity itself. The old notions of who is in charge, who is superior and whose theology is paramount is in a state of flux. Unless, or until, this new vision comes into play, directs our hearts, guides our business, underlies our technology, the world itself is not ready to understand or survive the horizon of Newness on which it stands.
Joan Chittister OSB is one of the most influential religious and social leaders of our time. For more than fifty years she has passionately advocated on behalf of peace, human rights, women’s issues, and church renewal. A much sought-after speaker, counsellor and clear voice that bridges across all religions, she is also a best-selling author of more than sixty books, hundreds of articles, and an online column for the National Catholic Reporter.
