In This Interview, Sister Joan Chittister and I Discuss…
Her book, Radical Spirit: 12 Ways to Live a Free and Authentic Life
How words matter
That experiences matter
Humility as the cornerstone of spirituality
The sanctification of the humble spirit
Self-superiority in American culture
Be who you are, know who you are, respect others around you and take your place in the human race
Humility is having an accurate picture of who you are
Her take on AA
How holiness is the same everywhere
That narcissism is a disease in our culture
Being willing to face yourself
How self-deprecation and self-aggrandizement are really the same things
Not thinking about yourself all the time
The burden of self
That we’re looking for freedom
Obedience as she defines it – it doesn’t mean we submit our souls to an authority figure. It’s grounded in the Latin word which means “to listen”
How each of us grows into the ability to listen
Endurance and Stability
That you can’t rush your own development
We become to be of service to others
How nothing of value spiritually comes overnight
The role of community in one’s great breakdowns in life
