Contemplative Thought for Living
An
article a week for spiritual growth by Fr. Thomas Keating
A fifth kind of thought arises from the fact that
through the regular practice of contemplative prayer the dynamism of
interior purification is set in motion. This dynamism is a kind of
divine psychotherapy, organically designed for each of us, to empty out
our unconscious and free us from the obstacles to the free flow of grace
in our minds, emotions, and bodies. . . . |

a deeper relationship with God and a contemplative dimension in their
lives.
