WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE
OF DEVOTION
+ The analogy of
the building of an interior temple, a temple of the heart, as a house for the
Divine is a useful description of the work involved in creating the inner life,
a living spiritual life.
-- Regina Sara Ryan in Praying Dangerously
+ I think this is a very illuminating and intriguing
idea. I think I can get devoted to
building this “interior temple.” I think
I am building this temple and am enjoying it right now in many ways.
Many of the great cathedrals took decades and even centuries
to build. Many builders participated in
building these exterior temples which many people now find so beautiful and
useful.
The Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona is a great
temple which has been under construction for decades and will be under
construction for decades more. But it is
already beautiful and useful. The photo was taken inside that amazing building during our 2013 visit to Barcelona. Breathtaking inside and out. And so are you.
You are so beautiful and useful. Keep building.
What kind of images and ideas come to mind as you build
your interior temple? Maybe you could
share some images and ideas with your fellow builders (also known as Spiritual
Explorers).

practice or any practice. And, I have
