What Discipline is Right for You?

“It is part of our formation in a listening spirituality to find which practices, at this time in our lives, are most supportive of our inward listening for the word, the guidance, the challenge, the reproof, the love – or simply intimations – of God’s presence. These can take many outward forms. It is a matter of some listening and discernment to find those which are right for us at any given moment.”

— Patricia Loring, 1997
Listening Spirituality, Volume 1

What makes you feel close to Spirit?
