Christian contemplative practice
is not a method of self-improvement
but of (false) self-forgetfulness.
This Advent season, may you be disavowed
of the heavy garment of false autonomy from God
and given the garment of Christ
that reflects the image of God
in the world
through you.
Amen.
As Ever,
Jonas
Why is this so?.... I get invitations to join a 'centering prayer' community, another from a Carmelite parish lay community who are into contemplative prayer.... Please expound
Amen.
