Understanding the Mystics
Mystics have plumbed the depths of both suffering and love and emerged with compassion for the whole suffering world and a learned capacity to recognize God within themselves, in others, and in all things. If we can read with an attitude of simple mindfulness, the insights the mystics share can equip us with a deep and embracing peace, even in the presence of the many kinds of limitation and suffering that life offers us. From such contact with the deep rivers of grace, we can live our lives from a place of non-judgment, forgiveness, love, and a quiet contentment with the ordinariness of our lives. https://cac.org/understanding-the-mystics-contemplatively-2015-07-19/
