Listening in Stillness
Cultivating a contemplative presence for God involves daily practice of spiritual disciplines in solitude.
Because the journey cannot be completed alone, we also practice and learn with a community
of supportive friends. This, for us, is the inward journey: "practicing the Presence of God for personal transformation." Serving in Joy! a response of serving by bringing the Presence into our service. We serve through our chosen vocations and through shared missions. We seek compassionate service with the world. This for us is the outward journey |
