Description

“They should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ” (John 17:3).

In our busy daily lives, we often become so wrapped up with activity or “doing” that we inadvertently reduce God to an abstract thought or intellectual concept. We sometimes lose sight of the beautiful reality that God is truly present among us and deeply desires a loving, intimate relationship with each of us. Even devout individuals may, without realizing it, forget that God is actually a Person—in fact, a Trinity of Divine Persons—yearning to draw close and personally connect to us in love.

In this inspiring book, Fr. Wayne Sattler gently awakens our hearts and invites us to embrace this transformative perspective. He shares how Mother Teresa would prompt her sisters by asking, “Do you truly know the living Jesus—not merely from books, but directly in your own heart?” As Fr. Sattler shares insights and real-life stories, your heart will draw closer to authentically knowing, deeply loving, and faithfully serving the Lord each day, responding wholeheartedly to Christ’s invitation to “remain in me, and I in you” (John 15:4).

Featuring wisdom drawn from Sacred Scripture, beloved spiritual masters such as St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross, and contemporary faith witnesses, this book will guide you to a more lively and fulfilling prayer life and a stronger personal relationship with God. You’ll discover the following:

– Why vocal prayers should be prayed earnestly, with devotion and sincerity
– How to spend quiet and meaningful time with God, as encouraged by the wisdom of St. Teresa of Avila
– How to foster purity of heart, allowing you more clearly to see God’s presence
– Practical guidance in developing within your soul a deeper desire to remain constantly with God
– Ways to attain inner peace precisely where God is inviting you to be in your life

May reading this powerful work renew your joy in the profound truth that God is love—an eternal Trinity of Divine Persons who seek union and intimate relationship with you. As you journey through these insightful pages, your heart will open significantly, your fears will dissipate, and you will encounter a greater experience of authentic love, beauty, and profound inner freedom.
