We linger in the abode of Christ and never leave.

Getting out of my own way. Shall I go on?

And we forget that. We become disconnected, we lose our center point of gravity, that stillness that allows us to listen to life on a deeper level and to meet each other in a fully authentic and present way.

You cannot talk yourself into it or rouse it by straining at the emotions or by dedicating yourself solemnly to the service of mankind.

This conviction will not come through condemnations, through hating oneself, through calling self love bad names in the universe. It comes only in the awareness that one has no self to love.

Let us peer for a moment into the heart of Saint Paul, to see what his prayer was like.

Here we see that intercessory prayer does not divert us from true contemplation, since authentic contemplation always has a place for others.
