I attended an amazing talk by this lady tonight. I believe there are saints all around us. This lady was down to earth, simply profound, truly awake, and full of divine love.

Submitted by Stephen Kelley on Thu, 10/23/2008 - 19:20

These are from some of the reading for my RCIA class.

Whether we know it or not, we are already in the presence of God and united with God because God is everywhere. Prayer helps us bring to consciousness this precious bond we have with God and his saving love, as Thomas Merton points out: “In prayer we discover what we already have…We already have everything, but we don’t know it and we don’t experience  what we already possess…The whole thing boils down to giving ourselves in prayer a chance to realize that we have what we seek. We don’t have to rush after it. It is there all the time, and if we give it time it will make itself known to us.”

Your true home is in nothingness, in emptiness of all content. You face it most cheerfully when you go to sleep! Find out for yourself the state of wakeful sleep and you will find it quite in harmony with your real nature. Words can only give you the idea, and the idea is not the experience. All I can say is that true happiness has no cause, and what has no cause is immovable. Which does not mean it is perceivable, as pleasure. What is perceivable is pain and pleasure; the state of freedom from sorrow can be described only negatively.
