Hidden Poetry Within offers the laity a unique framework, one that allows them put words around the considerable extent of their spirituality. It helps them to recognize and articulate the many facets that comprise it, giving them sound reasons for embracing more than the often-heard expression: "I'm not holy enough." The framework-simple in style and comprehensive in design-is built around the acronym REALL, which identifies five essential aspects of the spirituality of the laity: their Relational, Existential, Authentic, Life-giving Communion, and Liturgical life, with each being developed in detail. While many thousands of laity across the globe are engaged in the transformation of people's faith and life-formally and informally-for the Christian betterment of others, and are well qualified for their various tasks, many appear unaware of the expansive nature of their spirituality-the what of it, the where of it's growth, and how it comes about; its nature, its multi-faceted contexts, and the practices that promote it. Many desire a deeper understanding of their spirituality. They deserve better, and this book offers to provide that. It is written as much for the clergy as it is for the laity-there are many aspects of the vocation and mission of the laity that may be appreciated more adequately by the clergy as they read its pages.
