Breathed into Wholeness: Catholicity and Life in the Spirit

 “Catholicity” is a concept that encompasses the entire dynamic of whole-making and diversifying. In Breathed into Wholeness, Mary Frohlich explores its application to our spiritual lives, that is, how each of us strives to construct a life that bears both the integrity of ultimate wholeness and the dynamism of real-life change, pluralism, and differentiation.

She offers compelling arguments that “spirit” is the self-transcending, whole-making impetus that is built into human persons, and that awareness of it is most intense in spiritual events that electrify a person’s sense of joyous interconnection with other people, the natural world, the cosmos, and/or God.
