★After the great response to his latest titles and the celebrated Biografía del silencio, Devoción, the new work by Pablo d’Or, rises as humble as it is profound above the unequivocal vocation of definitively transforming its readers. This is a new step towards integral meditation.

In the world of the spirit there are no frontiers; the absence of frontiers is what is properly spiritual. A mystic of today can feel a mystic of any past, feel and go through his doubts and searches, be it of his tradition or of another, and recognize him as a true brother. Pablo d’Ors reaches this conclusion, as simple as it is universal, through two literary gifts that are bound together in this book: his delightful version of The Way of Pilgrim, a classic of orthodox spirituality and devotional literature, followed by his Brief Essay on Devotion, where he gathers the main teachings on self-knowledge that he extracts from his study of the Pilgrim, arriving to the conclusion: “Devoción is the book I need to give to the world at this moment. A small contribution as a new step towards integral meditation, because the spiritual experience is essentially the same in any time and place.”

Pablo d’Ors
(Madrid, 1963) is a spiritual master with thousands of followers all over the world. In 1982, after a year in New York, he had a mystical experience that led him to join the Claretian missionaries in 1983 and, in May 1991, to be ordained a priest. After a period in Honduras and years of study in Rome, Vienna and Prague, he received his doctorate in theology in 1996 under the guidance of Elmar Salmann. In 2000, having taught dramaturgy and theological aesthetics at various universities in Spain and Argentina, he published his first book of narrative, El estreno, and began his career as a literary critic and columnist. In 2005, due to a conflict with his hierarchical superiors, he was relieved of his position. After a voluntary withdrawal from ecclesiastical life, during which he began to practise meditation and wrote his novel, Lecciones de ilusión, in 2006 he returned to the diocese of Madrid as a hospital chaplain. In 2010 he founded, as a fruit of his Zen discipleship, Buscadores de la montaña, a spiritual training seminar oriented towards interreligious dialogue. In 2012 he published Biografía del silencio a landmark in the history of Spanish essays, with more than 350,000 copies sold and translated into the main Western languages. In 2013 he met Franz Jalics, his teacher. This decisive encounter led him, in 2014, to found Amigos del desierto, a network of meditators, as well as, in 2017, Tabor, a monasticism project in the world. In 2015, he was appointed by Pope Francis as cultural advisor to the Vatican. Author of more than a dozen titles, he currently gives conferences and meditation retreats.
