Reverence and devotion open the
soul to intimacy with God…
When you pursue a relationship with your soul and God you
are answering a call. You are being called to build your spiritual stamina so
that you can channel grace in this world for this world. Our new monastery, the
world, is in desperate need of the strength of your soul. Caroline Myss, Page 96, Entering the Castle
Jesus challenged us to be in
this world but not of it. The mystics of today try to fulfil Christ’s
challenge. Though some mystics still do enter a convent or a monastery in order
to pursue a relationship with God, many more live in this world as
contemplatives without a cloister. They pursue their ordinary day to day lives
while living out a life of prayer within their souls.
These modern-day mystics are
answering the call of God to channel grace into the world. They see the
desperate needs within the world and they bring them before God in their time
of prayer and praise of the Sacred One.

As they open their souls in
intimacy with God they build up their spiritual stamina. They receive grace
from God in order to channel God’s grace into the world. They live in this
world whole-heartedly and, by living in God and God in them, they understand
the call of God to them is to be an intermediary for God’s grace and blessing
on the world that God has created for us to live in.

Hi Judith,
A few minutes ago I wrote on the same topic. We need to understand God's grace before we can show it.
Praying for more people to "understand God's grace in all its truth".
Blessings,
Jan
