“Contemplative practice… is fundamentally about a change in consciousness that enables the practitioner to see and participate in the very nature of Christ. It is a bold way of saying “yes” to the profound invitation of Ephesians 3:18-19… that rooted and grounded in love [you] may come to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ—that you may be filled with the very nature of God.”
