CONTINUING
The contemplative dimension of the Gospel manifests as an ever-deepening union with Christ and the practical caring for others that flows from this relationship. It reveals the deeper meaning of Christ's life & teaching.
Theological Principle # 7
So that they may all be one; just as You, Father, are in me and I in you, may they also be one in us.
John 17: 21

When I was walking in the mountains with the Japanese man and began to hear the water,
he said, 'What is the sound of the waterfall?' 'Silence,' he finally told me.
