PROGRESS IN PRAYER
About this Series
This series offers practical insight for the practice of prayer and relationship with God. We’ll distinguish types of prayer and experiences that occur along the various stages of the spiritual journey. As we do, we’ll explore experiences of and progress in prayer that occurs in the prayer closet, both vocal prayer and silent, contemplative prayer; and we’ll consider experiences of and progress in prayer that occurs outside the prayer closet in daily life. In all, we’ll be fostering an enhanced experience of listening for, responding to, and abiding in the inspirations and movements of the Holy Spirit within and without.

REFLECTIONS ON CONTEMPLATIVE LIFE & PRACTICE: WHO IS GOD?
About this Series
Who is God? “When you say God, you don’t really mean God. You mean your idea of God, or, to put it another way, you mean God as not-God. I say that because whatever we say about God is more unlike who God is than saying nothing. And so, where do we begin?” (Thomas Keating).

But where did he go to ascend to the Father? … into the heart of all creation … into the innermost being of humanity … with his victory over death. From there he radiates boundless Love. Explore how we prepare ourselves to receive this infusion of Divine Love moment by moment.

LENT & THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE UNCONSCIOUS
