About Contemplative Ways of Being 1
“This retreat is the first of three. It initially grew out of my pondering the text from St. Paul, 1 Thessalonians 5:17, “Pray always.” Over the centuries, gallons of ink have been spilt attempting to fathom exactly what St. Paul meant by his famous injunction.
My reflection posed the question, “Could we possibly have misinterpreted St. Paul?” Perhaps he didn’t mean always, but all-ways. This prompted me to further examine how to pray in different ways, especially in the ordinary and everyday. Two quotes pointed me in this direction:
“Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.”
– Abraham Joshua Heschel
These Be-ing retreats are simply teasing out how to live in such a way that what we do and who we are inherently praise and glorify the Divine and are therefore prayer.
My hope is that this retreat will awaken you to the truth that it is indeed possible to “pray always” simply by becoming a human being, fully alive.”
