Nowadays, many of us find ourselves complaining we are too busy, wishing there were more hours in the day.
We all need moments and places of sanctuary.
Inspired by BBC2’s "The Monastery" Grace has invited John Chapman of St Hugh’s Northolt to helpus reflect upon and apply some of the elements of Benedictine spirituality.
grace this Saturday 14th Jan – 8pm
that sounds wonderful. Sadly, I’ll be on my way to the states then, but am really sorry to be missing it…
Grace is an aspect of the Love of God which is most like the state prevailing in the Unity of truth. It is the world’s most lofty aspiration, for it leads beyond the world entirely. It is past learning yet the goal of learning, for grace cannot come until the mind prepares itself for true acceptance. Grace becomes inevitable instantly in those who have prepared a table where it can be gently laid and willingly received; an altar clean and holy for the gift.
Blessings
That really does sound good, wish I could get up and down to London easily to attend that one!
