Sobornost

The Russian concept of sobornost, a deep unity of mind, heart, and soul, is one of Catherine Doherty’s greatest contributions to Western spirituality. It is based on a deep, respectful listening to the other and to the Holy Spirit. Because the Holy Trinity, the perfection of unity, lives in the heart of each baptized person, this oneness with God and each other is a journey on which we are each invited, a goal towards which we can and must strive. In our polarized world, rife with divisions among nations, within cultures, in our families and in our own hearts, sobornost is of timely importance.

“Sobornost is a prophetic call for the 21st century. Catherine offers the world the wisdom of the Christian East in discovering that unity within the person, with others, and with creation is nothing less than mirroring the unity found in our loving and compassionate Triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Her insight into the practical aspects of our relationships will enlighten and enlarge our minds and our hearts.” — Rev. Michael Winn, Our Lady of Winnipeg, Holy Eucharist Ukrainian Catholic Church

“Leaders, families, and communities would benefit tremendously from this book. Sobornost might not be a word that many use in everyday conversations, but it is one that I hope can penetrate the hearts of many people.” — Jeff M. Lockert, President of Catholic Christian Outreach
