Contemplative Waiting

‘Write’ Into the Heart of Your Spiritual Journey

Volume One

~ ~ ~

~ ~ ~

I thought many times of Thomas Merton as I read through these poems: the contemplative waiting becomes an awakening in which the sacred breaks through even in the mundane and ordinary.

 Diarmuid O’Murchu, M.S.C., Author of: Quantum Theology and Reclaiming Spirituality

~ ~ ~

Contemplative waiting is an active process of paying attention, listening and being open to the mystery of life.  This journey into the depths of our being is both wonderful and difficult.  It is a path of paradox –  moving between the tension of knowing and not knowing, believing and questioning, feeling no longer ourselves, yet closer to our authentic self than ever before.  Waiting requires courage and trust.  It is deeply personal inner work that few people can do alone.  Having a companion is very helpful.  A book such as this can be a companion that inspires and informs this inner journey.

John Everard Griffith, Masters of Divinity, Director of Spiritual Directions
