World Without End Quotes

“You can only be healed by being greatly loved”
― O.C.S.O., Thomas Keating, World Without End

“Amazed by the beauty of the stars We have been talking about the inner experience of Centering Prayer and now we’re talking about the overwhelming experience of looking at stars, light-years away. Is there a connection with God for you? First of all, I believe that this universe was created by God. I am amazed at the beauty of it. Sometimes I say: ‘WOW! Father, this is something.’ The Milky Way is said to contain one to four hundred billon stars and the estimated guess is that there are one or two hundred billon galaxies in the universe. To realize that this is my home, God’s home, is awe-inspiring.”

“Is Centering Prayer a kind of purifying of the ego? Yes, in the course of the prayer you get deeper and deeper and the purifications are getting more and more subtle. Your original intentions are purified.”
