Book Discussion with Pastor Mike During Lent
|
The book is Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer by Richard Rohr, a Franciscan Priest. The book is more about the spiritual life as a whole than about a “how to” on contemplative prayer. Contemplative prayer is the practice of silence and listening. Rohr discusses the gifts that this type of prayer life can bring to the one willing to sit and wait on God in silence. We will meet at two different times starting March 5th/6th. There will be two options each week: Tuesday at 10am in person or Wednesday at 6pm by Zoom. The book can be found on Amazon.com at https://www.amazon.com/Everything-Belongs-Gift-Contemplative-Prayer/dp/0824519957. You can also check local bookstores. Please email the office at: [email protected] to let us know if you would like to be a part of the class.
