Sinetar influences us with her persuasive mentoring spirit., October 1, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Holy Work : Be Love. Be Blessed. Be a Blessing. (Hardcover)
In this most recent expression of her own lively faith and personal spirituality, undergirded by her profound understanding and simplicity of heart, Marsha Sinetar gently influences us with her beautifully persuasive mentoring spirit.
Through the course of fifty-two weeks we are guided by fresh and soul- provoking insights into our own faith and spirituality, by pertinent Scripture passages which unveil ever new and challenging meanings, and by eminently simple yet profoundly practical spiritual exercises, well within the grasp of any serious reader. The goal of spirituality towards which Sinetar's Holy Work leads us is solidly grounded in our mutual call to holiness, to being holy, to holy work.
What an affirmation of the actuality and benignity of Divine Providence, that our God has called each and every one of us to the great dignity of seeking and actually deepening our sharing in the divine holy activity (work) itself!
From Sinetar, we learn in our hearts what we may - or may not - know in our heads: that our God beckons us to live our individually unique and personal vocation to spirituality, our holy work. It is our vocation to the spiritual life, more accurately called the `life of the Spirit', and this is nothing less than the very Holy Spirit of God working within us. By our sharing in this holy work we become love, become blessed, and become a blessing - not only in and for ourselves, but in and for all others, themselves the work of God's creative holiness and love.
Alas, so many seem to be deficient in, yet profoundly yearning for, that genuine spirituality which transcends, but neither denies nor belittles, our physical/material humanity. Living as what we are, the People of God, we are deeply indebted to Sinetar for this Holy Work of hers, for she mentors us all towards living daily, weekly, and always more authentically, our common and communal holy work, our vocation to spirituality.

In my retirement years I have done much traveling and exploring alone. To be among God's wonders of nature, along with the the helpful inspirations in Holy Work, I appreciate myself more and God as my friend. Thank you, Ms. Sinetar.
