FOREWORD Fred Schloeman has made us a precious gift by sharing the fruits of his prayer prompted by the presence within him of the Holy Spirit. Through his faithful prayer, at Mass, in daily meditation and other ways, the Holy Spirit disclosed to him a new identity as a holy child of God. Fred in his book shows us how to re-imagine our own lives as well as God's own child, with all the new spiritual possibilities that come with it. Pope Benedict XVI when he beatified Cardinal John Henry Newman highlighted as does Fred the role of imagination in our religious life. It is prayer that opens us up to our imagination to the vast vistas of God. I personally have been enriched by reading this spiritual chronicle. Reverend Monsignor Charles M. Murphy, S.T.D.
