    “The mystic is not somebody who says, “Look what I’ve experienced. Look what I’ve achieved.” The mystic is the one who says, “Look what love has done to me.” . . .  There’s nothing left, but the being of love itself giving itself away as . . . the concreteness of who you simply are.

    -James Finley

  • Rector's Bible Study

    Rector’s Applied Bible Study meets twice a week: Wednesday morning at 7:30am and Sunday morning at 9:15am. During this time we dive into the bible stories and look for ways that we can use what we find in our own real-life stories. Why “Applied”?  Our aim is to Apply the fruits of our study to our actual, everyday lives.

“Contemplation is a vivid realization of the fact that life and being in us proceed from an invisible, transcendent and infinitely abundant Source.”

-From ‘New Seeds of Contemplation’ by Thomas Merton
