- More about Touched by God: The way to contemplative prayer
Luigi Gioia's second spiritual book, "Say it to God: In Search of Prayer," was chosen as the 2018 Archbishop of Canterburys Lent Book. In "Touched by God," Gioia explores the art of contemplation, which is a silent and loving attentiveness to God that begins when we are touched by God through Scripture. He shows how this happens concretely in the lives of the characters of the Gospel of John and how contemplation can coexist with doubts, thrive in the middle of struggles, and lead to authentic self-knowledge and compassion for every human being.

Luigi Gioia's second spiritual book delves into the art of contemplation, offering a profound and accessible guide for revitalizing one's prayer practice amidst the busy demands of modern life. Touched by God, Gioia expands on this theme, clarifying that contemplation is not a more advanced form of prayer but rather a silent and loving attentiveness to God, distinct from historical and impersonal spiritual practices. The journey into contemplation begins when we are touched by God through Scripture, becoming aware of his presence within us. Gioia guides the reader through the Gospel of John, using the lives of its characters as a practical roadmap for welcoming God into our lives and engaging with him in meaningful ways. Through his exploration of both religious and non-religious authors, Gioia reveals that contemplation is not a utopian experience but rather a reality that coexists with doubts, thrives amidst struggles, is discovered even in the midst of suffering, dissolves guilt, and leads to authentic self-knowledge and compassion for all human beings. This captivating book offers a transformative path for those seeking to deepen their spiritual connection and cultivate a more profound sense of mindfulness and presence in their daily lives.
