I love it. <br /><br />closet casehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875118885424455084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849085441847013288.post-89281597872663372982016-02-13T11:18:53.534+08:002016-02-13T11:18:53.534+08:00Hi,

Both me and my husband are catholics and attend Sunday mass at the gayest Catholic Church in the US. Although we're both cradle catholics, we're also liberal and progressive and we have decided with clear discernment and prayer that we are not bounded by what the Vatican says---in turn we branded ourselves as cafeteria catholics--- we pick and choose what dogmas/church teachings are helpful to us to be more closer to the divine (God, the Ultimate Mystery).<br /><br />I'm following your blogposts from time and time and I was intrigued by your recent post about Ash Wednesday and your mention about Mindfulness. Well, I will invite you to try Centering Prayer ( a form of Christian Contemplative prayer) that invites you to a deeper relationship with God. Vocal and loud worship are just one form of prayer---there is a deeper kind---contemplation! If you're familiar with Teresa de Avila and John of the Cross and the book---the Cloud of Unknowing. Teresa de Avila just perfected it in a sense that when she prays silently, she's resting in God. No words, no apparitions, etc. Just pure resting in God! Centering Prayer is not that well explained (maybe) or not disseminated immensely in the Philippines. There's a big group (I think) in Makati.<br /><br />Think about it and maybe God is calling you to a deeper kind of relationship. <br /><br />God bless.Olivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849085441847013288.post-80662616414621439872016-02-13T00:02:03.239+08:002016-02-13T00:02:03.239+08:00May the force be with you in having a sin free day...May the force be with you in having a sin free day :) I find that hard to do myself haha :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
