Contemplative Thought for Living

An article a week for spiritual growth by Fr. Thomas Keating

Transforming
the Heart
of the World

Contemplative Outreach has never been stronger, yet we have never been so much in need of support. As Contemplative Outreach moves into the 21st century, we are struck by the deep longing of people around the world who express a spiritual hunger for a deeper relationship with God and a contemplative dimension in their lives.
