DEFINITION

“Contemplation is about waking up. To be contemplative is to experience an event fully, in all its aspects.” (Ronald Rolheiser in The Shattered Lantern)

SCRIPTURE

“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18)

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” (2 Corinthians 3:17-18)

“God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said. ‘We are his offspring.’ ” (Acts 17:27-28)
