The Presence Group

A contemplative group who meditate and study together.

July 19, 2020 The Presence Group Zoom Meeting

We met today at 3 p.m. and will do for future meetings. We’ve changed our time to accommodate a member’s Pacific Time Zone schedule since her parish began in-person church services this morning wearing masks and social distancing. It was interesting to hear about.

We had several interesting discussions in and out of our current book, God of Love, by Mirabai Starr. We mainly talked about the section called “The Doorkeeper and the Dad”, pages 145 to 152 +-. It’s a section on forgiveness. We all had something to say about how that formidable action continues to be in our lives.

For next week we’ll read Indwelling Presence: The Feminine Face of the Divine p.153 plus.

Several books were named during our conversation and members present wanted to have the list emailed.
Here they are:
What Do We Do With Evil, by Richard Rohr
Living Presence, by Kabir Helminski
Guidelines for Mystical Prayer, by Ruth Burroughs
The Universal Christ, by Richard Rohr
The Holy Longing, by Ronald Rolheiser
Holy Listening, The Art of Spiritual Direction, Margaret Guenther

Put them in your likely candidates for the next book list. That is an open list of course. Feel free to add your favorite.

Have a safe and healthy week.
