Spirit7

Welcome to Spirit7,
a place on the Web
to find spiritual nourishment
and comfort.

Dear Friends,
There is no more exciting adventure
than to be on a spiritual path.
My journey led me into darkness
where I found myself and my God.
I am eager to share what I have learned.

The theology here is centrist,
seeking common ground
between the progressive and the conservative.
We wish to be open to all who genuinely
and thoughtfully seek God.
I hope you enjoy these offerings.

As a brother,
Father Bob Traupman

Take time to nourish your soul and lift your spirit!

Many of our readers look forward to the Arise
      reflection / letter for lay people as it arrives monthly
      in the mail.
These reflection / letters provide many varied topics in
      contemporary spirituality from a Catholic
      perspective.
Won't you take a look at one or two
      of the back issues of Arise available below to see
      if they can nourish your spiritual growth?
For our priest-browsers, there are also several back
      issues of the For Priests Only newsletter.
Perhaps you will select one or two issues, print them
      out, and put them aside for bedtime reading or for
      some nourishment to start your morning.
