Perhaps the world is saved one act, one click, or one post at a time.
When we do ordinary things with great love, as Therese of Lisieux counseled, we bring beauty and healing to our companions on the Internet and to the planetary mind. The omnipresent God is as near as the next key stroke, the next post or response to another's online comment. We need a whole-person spirituality grounded in a sense of the holiness of all creation and reverence for life, despite the conflicts that characterize our world-and given the amount of time most of us spend online, we need to include these activities in our spiritual lives.
Bruce Epperly guides his spiritual Internet manual with the wisdom of the Christian mystical tradition. These insights, both ancient and modern, help us to claim our vocation as God's companions in healing the world-through the vehicle of social media and other online interactions. Each chapter's dialogue with a mystic concludes with a spiritual practice that enables us to discover, in the spirit of the patriarch Jacob's exclamation, that "God is online, and we did not know it."
