This collection of spiritual exercises by Archbishop Bruno Forte guide readers into a prayerful encounter with Jesus through a blend of lectio divina (divine reading) and Ignatian spirituality. Drawing from the Gospel of Mark, Archbishop Forte combines biblical scholarship and spiritual insights to help readers contemplate Jesus' obedience, self-denial, love, courage, and trust, and consider their own lives, choices, and attitudes against those of Jesus.
