Book excerpt: Metanoia: A Catholic Book Series, Book Number Two: Prayer and the Tingling Grace is the author’s second publication in a series of Catholic books. In Prayer and the Tingling Grace, the author sets forth his experience with what he calls the tingling grace. The tingling grace is a “grace of prayer,” according to one of the author’s past confessors, a Carmelite priest. As such, this grace has most commonly been experienced by novice monks and nuns during prayer, as a sensible consolation of divine encouragement. However, according to the Carmelite priest, about five percent of lay Catholics also experience it. He is publishing this book to testify and/or witness to this sensible consolation of actual grace and God’s love, sanctification, guidance, and encouragement of ordinary Catholics, in light of the current crisis of faith in the increasingly post-Christian, hedonistic, nihilist, transhuman, and occult West. Finally, this book is part of the author’s lay apostolate of Roman Catholic witness to the reality, power, and transforming/saving Love of God, as well as the author’s response to and promotion of the Church’s “universal call to holiness” (Lumen Gentium) and the “new evangelization” (Novo Millenio Ineunte), in the electronically and globally connected virtual world of the Internet.
