Fr. Greg Cleveland, OMV, is a native of Chicago and graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in business administration. After working as a marketing manager for a Midwestern railroad company, he followed God's call to priesthood in 1987, joined the Oblates of the Virgin Mary, and attended Our Lady of Grace Seminary and St. John's School of Theology in Boston.
After completing an M.Div. in Theology and an M.A. in Spiritual Theology, he was ordained a priest in 1995. His first assignment was to St. Andrew's parish in Avenel, New Jersey, where he worked especially with the poor, disabled and imprisoned. He obtained certification in spiritual direction from the Center for Spiritual Development in New York City, and returned to Boston to work seven years in seminary formation as rector and novice master.
He is currently executive director of the Lanteri Center for Ignatian Spirituality in Denver, Colorado, where he offers spiritual direction and retreats while teaching training programs in these ministries.
"Fr. Cleveland was my novice master. He taught me the Ignatian way of prayer, led my thirty-day retreat, and prepared me to give my life to God as a religious. Reading his new book, I see that while he is no longer my novice master, he's still the master. His rich reflections and powerful culling of sources in the spirit of St. Ignatius will awaken a deep love for the Lord."

"Awakening Love beautifully marries the spiritual exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola to the biblical Song of Songs in a comprehensive do-it-yourself retreat format. It's perfect for busy people seeking a deeper relationship with God."
-Dr. Mary Amore, Executive Director of Mayslake Ministries
"Awakening Love brings us back to the core truth of all time: Jesus is the greatest good in our lives. Writing with insight, passion, and pastoral verve, Fr. Cleveland shows us how to respond to God's gift with total self-giving that is both appropriate and supremely joyful."
-Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P., Editor-in-Chief, Magnificat
"Fr. Cleveland draws upon an extensive array of saints, Church Fathers, literary figures, and contemporary authors to portray the life of prayer and spiritual growth. In a pressured world that 'lives too fast' (Thoreau), Awakening Love offers a path toward spiritual depth and a renewed relationship with God."
-Father Timothy Gallagher, OMV, author of Discernment of Spirits, an Ignatian Guide to Everyday Living
