The spiritual journey may be viewed through the prism of life experience and the meanings and virtues that involve many core elements, which are often difficult to see and discern in everyday life. An Introductory Guide to Spiritual Maturity unmasks the concept of mature spirituality as the response of human freedom to the impulse of the Holy Spirit within us all and that which is all around us. For Christians, this encounter involves the person of Jesus, not as a historical figure of the past, but as the resurrected Lord in the present.
Father Tom Heron is a Philadelphia Archdiocesan Priest. His first book, We Are All Called, explored the topic of spiritual maturity.
