Being With

What if we thought of our spiritual community as a spiritual habit?

Could it be that “doing more” is actually standing in the way of “being with”?

What if the reward for following Jesus…is Jesus? What if gazing upon the beauty of the Lord was its own reward? Welcome to the power of contemplative prayer.

Where is your emotional home? What if it was Jesus? And what if you practiced his presence so that everywhere felt like home?

We tend to think of our baptism as our day of choosing. But today…and every day…will we choose Christ or ourselves?

Recognize what God has done through Christ–the only source of power. Respond with love to become all that he called us to become through His power. And seek to imitate, so that we might bring up “little Christs.”

Be with your rabbi. Become like him. Do what he did. This is discipleship.

Everyone follows someone. The question is: who is your rabbi? And how can anyone tell?
