Reflection

"Contemplation is a long, loving look at what is real. How often we are fooled by what mimics the real. Indeed we live in a culture that flaunts the phony and lives on wild fabrication. We are so bombarded by the superficial and the trivial that we can lose our bearings and give ourselves over to a way of living that drains us of our humanity. .Caught up in contemplative awareness and rooted in love, we begin to break free from cultural confines and embrace the truth that lies at the heart of all reality: all are one. We must all become contemplatives, not merely in the way we reflect or pray but in the way we live – awake, alert, ready to respond in love to the groanings of creation. Human life depends on our living this way."

Radical Amazement, Judy Cannato
Prayer

Lord, teach me the truth that will set me free.

Action

What does contemplative awareness mean to me?
How can I develp it in my daily life?
