Thank you, Mark…when I first started practicing Centering prayer years ago, it was a relief to me to read Thomas Keating referring to “repentance” as changing our sight…where are we looking for happiness & fulfillment and “sin” as our separation from God.
As a Catholic, these explanations surely seem more in line with who Jesus is & His mission here, as you have so well described🙏🏼
Mark, This adaptation of your 2017 sermon is what I need to hear in Advent 2025. Every sentence speaks to me. Thank, thank you, thank you! your brother, john mcmahon
Yes! Thank you so much for this, dear Mark! Having just experienced a kind of metanoia after a long, dark night of the soul, I’m seeing this advent preparation as a “deeper way of falling into compassion”, as today’s contemplation by Fr Richard puts it. I’m so grateful to have you both in my life!
