Mystic of the Month
|
Who we are is given to us. We do not even earn it. It is a free and holy gift. The paradox is that we must stop, feel, and grow silent in order to receive the gift of ourselves, even while we still hang on to the belief that things are all up to us, that we are in charge.

Our Lenten invitation is to slow down and invite silence into our daily lives. Mystic of the Month, Gunilla Norris (1939- ), author 19 books including Inviting Silence, encourages us to “return to the sacred self which lies buried under all our hyper-activities.” She counsels that moments of silence may bring us back to our senses. She encourages seekers of every spiritual persuasion to enter the deep and abiding qualities of silence that are the bedrock of spiritual experience.
We reflect on readings and prayers inspired by our mystic of the month each Tuesday morning during Contemplative Sit.
