Wavering in Quest of the Kingdom Which Cannot Be Moved
$29.00
We use the energy of emotion, pain or contrition for our converse with God. We begin to pray according to our need, for example, for forgiveness of our transgressions and the healing of our heart from the pestilence of sin. Keeping this humble attitude, we pour out our heart before God to the end, and we receive His consolation. Then, we even forget how our affliction began; only the consolation of prayer remains. In this way, we derive profit from every event, whether positive or negative.

Book Presentation: Wavering in Quest of the Kingdom Which Cannot Be Moved
We repeat the judgment of the Son of God in our life every time we accept some mortification for the sake of God’s commandment: this mortification becomes life-giving, and the result is victory over death. Saint Peter says that such suffering in accordance with the commandments of God has true glory. Therefore, we should not be afraid to be vulnerable for Christ’s sake, because He takes revenge by becoming our Rewarder, and His reward is life in abundance, the life of Resurrection. Christ says, ‘Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world;’ those who suffer for God’s commandments share in His victory.

‘Walking in Quest…’ is another precious gift from The Community of St John the Baptist. Here are helps to stay steady even when we are tempted to be unstable. In fact, instability becomes itself a gift where we can begin again in thanksgiving and repentance, communion continues with His living Presence. Father Zacharias gives us holy foundational wisdom that brings hope and fresh energy. He writes, ‘Monasticism is the inheritance of a state’, these writings help us ‘in the world’ to at least attempt to imbibe such a state, by His grace and mercy.
There are many questions relating to obedience in monastic life and I found Father Zacharias’ gracious answers applicable to the wider challenges of local church life.
So, here we have a book that nurtures the soul in its pursuit of God: yet does not flinch from the dynamics of walking in obedience to our brothers, sisters and overseers. We are reminded our core is an unshakeable Kingdom where we worship One who loved us to the end.

A humbling joy to read. An encouragement to keep us ascending towards God, though we may falter at times. To revist themes and to discover another depth in meaning. The teaching is sectioned in small incremental headings to allow for the reader to stop and reflect. Truly our Lord provides for those who seek Him in their hearts desire.
