Learoy Rodrigues talks about his new book Reimagining Your Faith Journey.
What made you write this book?
In the last few years, I have seen my spiritual life evolve in various ways. My approach to ministry has also taken on a different quality. For instance, from being more work-centric or action-centric I can see how the Lord is calling me to be more person-centric and God-centered. Hence this book. It contains musings on how God invites us to constantly personalise and reimagine our fascinating journey with the Lord.
Will you share two or three insights you have written about in this book?
The book is built on the premise that a faith journey evolves over time. It is never static. It has movement. It has dynamism. In the book, I have tried to explore variables that can possibly impact our journey of faith. These include, understanding creative tensions we must grapple with, appreciating the process of spiritual evolution, knowing where healing lies, cultivating a spirituality of involvement, letting perspectives unfold, etc.
Who, do you think, will benefit a lot from this book?
Lay people I think will benefit the most. The language is simple, mostly conversational in style, and hopefully accessible. I have used a lot of Jesuit terms but have also tried to explain these with illustrations from daily life. Religious priests, seminarians, and sisters will also relate with a lot of the content.
Fr Learoy Rodrigues, SJ (BOM) is currently the Dean of Studies here at the Mumbai Juniorate.
