In His Spirit

Nothing will change your life more meaningfully than developing a vibrant and consistent prayer life. Prayer is at the core of the Christian life, but most people have never really been taught how to pray in deeply personal ways. Listening to the Holy Spirit is at the center of prayer, but most of us struggle to recognize the difference between the Holy Spirit speaking to us and the thousands of ideas that float through our minds each day. By reading In His Spirit, you will have a new awareness of all things spiritual. You will see how our modern culture is influencing our efforts to grow spiritually. It is a fascinating look at two models of spirituality viewed from the perspective of the New Testament.

Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Fr. Hauser was the oldest of six children. He entered the Wisconsin Province of the Society of Jesus in 1955 and was ordained a priest in June of 1968. Fr. Hauser had a bachelor of arts in philosophy and a master's degree in American history from St. Louis University, and a doctorate in religion and religious education from The Catholic University of America. Fr. Hauser had a long career at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, as a professor in the Department of Theology. From his earliest days on campus in 1972, Fr. Hauser proved to be a source of spiritual inspiration to Creighton students. His inauguration of the candlelight Mass and his taking on of the directorship of Creighton's programs in theology, ministry, and Christian spirituality were in keeping with what he always felt his fundamental calling was: to help all people recognize God's presence in their lives. He was the author of three books: In His Spirit: A Guide to Today's Spirituality and Moving in the Spirit: Becoming a Contemplative in Action (both available from Wellspring), and Finding God in Troubled Times. In his writings, Fr. Hauser examined the topics that Catholics discern on a daily basis, including spirituality in our world today, the unique role of the Holy Spirit, and understanding the suffering humans experience.
