- W3204732503 abstract "Reviewed by: Remain in Me: Holy Orders, Prayer, and Ministry by James Keating David Vincent Meconi S.J. Remain in Me: Holy Orders, Prayer, and Ministry by James Keating (Mahwah, NJ: Paulist Press, 2019), 92 pp. If Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI had cast his inaugural 2005 encyclical Deus Caritas Est as a handbook for clerics—a kind of magisterial handbook for priestly formation—it would have looked a lot like Deacon Keating's latest. Remain in Me is a short work whose main emphasis is ultimately something quite large: God as love and his divine invitation for each of his ordained ministers to unite and thus represent the convergence of agape and eros. Recall that memorable line from the Holy Father on the stern-minded tendency to separate love into something human or divine, sacred or secular: Were this antithesis to be taken to extremes, the essence of Christianity would be detached from the vital relations fundamental to human existence, and would become a world apart, admirable perhaps, but decisively cut off from the complex fabric of human life (Deus Caritas Est §7). To combat this kind of senseless separation, James Keating has written a work aimed at the unity of ministries, the unity of one's own psyche, and the unity of loves. Proceeding in five main sections, Remain in Me opens with Spiritual Direction (1–23) and offers sagacious advice for those involved in giving spiritual direction. All the ordained are called to this ministry in one way or another publicly; all the baptized are by extension also called to be able to guide the seekers and counsel the lost. As such, spiritual direction for Keating takes on a multicolored hue, but his best advice is when he teaches deacons and priests that, as we slowly become clerics who are prayer and not simply ones who say prayers, the Spirit can more easily speak through us to the infinite variety of needs and wounds our people bring to us for healing, … the establishing of creative listening in our hearts (19). This chapter ends with very practical points on how to help guide souls who are thirsty for greater trust and surrender in the Lord. Chapter 2, Suffering Temptations (24–38) is an invitation to see not all things necessarily as God's will but certainly as his invitations, citing Newman, to see all as gift. If God is love, he can have no other response to us creatures than that of love, and so even in our sufferings and temptations, the unconquerable love of God is ever present. This is what Keating calls spiritual intimacy, in that it is a way of uniting our most personal and persistent wounds with those crucified wounds which alone heal. The ordained have a special role here: As servants of the gospel, we are always attending to the Word of the Lord and the cry of the poor. Simultaneously, Christ is attending to the cry of the minister's voice. This is the triangulation of consolation that is the clerical vocation: he reveals his love, we live vulnerably in an ongoing [End Page 998] receptivity to his love, and we are sent in this love to pour the gospel into the pain of the needy (35). In Prayer Renewed (39–56) we revisit what we all once knew but have perhaps put behind the business of parish life and the efficiency in simply praying to produce a well-crafted sermon. Prayer is a matter of an I–Thou relationship that demands the same personal presence, investment in time and in the space of being together, that any relationship requires. Here there are no lofty demands but the practical suggestions that to pray well is to be ourselves and to talk to the triune Persons as friends who are more committed to our salvation than we are. Keating is devoted especially to the Sacred Heart of Christ and suggests this symbol of perfect love as a focal point for our desire for communion. The ordained are called to pray in a very unique and public way, and Keating is masterful in representing Holy Orders not as a function but..." @default.
