WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF HEAVENLINESS
+ This is a post on the style of The Way of Prayer as we
continue to explore Heavenliness through the lens of the 12 styles of the Mandala process created by Edward Bastian. There are 3 more Mandala styles to explore
after this: Reason, Relationships and Wisdom. After that, we move on to the 9 Attributes of Heaven.
+ Prayer is sitting
in the silence until it silences us, choosing gratitude until we are grateful,
praising God until we ourselves are a constant act of praise.
-- Father Richard Rohr,
OFM
This was the Gratefulness Word for the Day on November 16, 2015.
+ We have met this amazing teacher of prayer before. See SE62
which was offered when we were practicing humility several moons
ago. Father Richard leads the Center for Action & Contemplation. He
offers daily inspiration
and illumination which is well worth considering if you are looking for
such a daily dose on the internet. I
invite you to browse through the website and
seek inspiration, illumination, and ideas for your contemplation, meditation
and prayer life. Maybe you just want to see all the great books he has
written. Also, he is a Spirituality & Practice featured
Living Spiritual Teacher.

Path: An InterSpiritual Process by Edward
Bastian are listed in SE206.
