" Spiritual contemplation is the practice of being fully present—in heart, mind, and body—to what is
in a way that allows you to creatively respond and work toward what could be.

'For many, contemplation is prayer or meditation, a daily practice of deep listening to better connect
with ourselves and divine love. It can very well be learned that contemplative prayer helps us sustain
the Truth we encounter during moments of great love and great suffering long after the intensity of these
experiences wear off. Contemplative prayer is the way we work out the experiences that words elude,
how we learn from them and bravely allow ourselves to be transformed by them, even when our normal
modes of thinking can’t make sense of them.

'Contemplative prayer is a practice for a lifetime, never perfected yet always enough. Each time we pray,
our habitual patterns of thinking and feeling will inevitably interrupt and distract us from deep listening,
but it is through our repeated failings that we encounter God’s grace and experience a transformed mind.

'The contemplative mind is about receiving and being present to the moment, to the now, without
judgment, analysis, or critique. Contemplative “knowing” is a much more holistic, heart-centered knowing,
where mind, heart, soul, and senses are open and receptive to the moment just as it is.
'This is how you come to love things in themselves and as themselves. You learn not to divide the field of
the moment or eliminate anything that threatens your ego, but to hold everything—both the attractive and the unpleasant—
together in accepting...all things, here in the now.”

the leading or guidance of the Holy Spirit.'

"After years of going alone without God as part of my life, I am thankful
of the past two plus decades of having God as part of my life, and the importance
of earnestly striving for spiritual discipline...believe it!


'And I now know that spiritual discipline being of great value in finding some
harmony in this restless world. I can only hope that others come to realize the
significance of this truth. Only with perseverance shall this be attainable.'

High school valedictorian who gave faith-filled speech reveals motivation: ‘Jesus told me to write that.'

"I was so elated over reading this story I had tears!
I hope the CC community reads the story.
'And I commend this young lady for being a witness for Christ and God bless the classmates for
standing with and by her for sharing her faith. In this troublesome world, this is rare,
especially
of one so young.

'This being a rare example of witnessing for Christ our Lord. Led by the Holy Spirit, many appear
unable to grasp the significance of the Holy Spirit upon one's life...it has to be lived!


'And never doubt what can be learned from a life being influenced through inspiration of the Holy Spirit.'

'Praise God'

"God is a comforter, but not in physical presence yet. His comfort comes through the spiritual presence,
which has the power to impact our mental and physical presence. A physical “rod and staff” are not there,
but the spiritual disciplines of faith, hope, and love that come through the Spirit are. That is where our comfort comes from.

'These things are not just for us to enjoy; they are for us to share. God is a comforter because of His nature as a Father,
which is to respond to us and guide us through these disciplines so we can then use them to comfort others.
All of these character traits support the functionality of service."

"The nature of God, being of a spirit shall always be a daunting task to even remotely hope to comprehend.
And being with this truth has obviously obscured sound
understanding, thus many choose to replace
reality with academic and materialistic worldly perceptions, which only tends to disfigure the nature of God."

"If you can take your troubles as they come, if you can maintain your calm and composure amid pressing
duties and unending engagements, if you can rise above the distressing and disturbing circumstances in
which you are set down, you have discovered a priceless secret of daily living. Even if you are forced to go
through life weighed down by some inescapable misfortune or handicap and yet live each day as it comes
with poise and peace of mind, you have succeeded where most people have failed. You have wrought a greater

achievement than a person who rules a nation.'

'And being in God's care shall be of great significance."

"Without a right relationship with God, our relationships with others will not be right, either.
The cause of the world’s problems is that man needs to be reconciled to God. We will never love our neighbor
as ourselves if we do not first love God with all our heart, mind, and soul. All of man’s best efforts toward

world peace will fail as long as men are living in rebellion against God."

'Since God has come to us and intreated us to receive his gift, let us recognize the great gift God offers.
Let us take hold of it gladly, with gratitude!'
