Spirituality is that deepest yearning of the human heart to be
satiated with love, contentment and profound, quiet joy. It is the awe
of that which cannot be grasped or described, however noble the attempt
of learned philosopher, anointed clergy or gaunt mystic
. It is the "still, small voice" that murmurs within when
the mind sheds its cares and the body stops its mad, hurried, daily
gyrations. Spirituality is the practice of liberating the
spirit within to soar towards the Spirit that holds all in loving
embrace. And while in that embrace of prayer, to sing the
soul-song of praise, to drink deeply from the Living Water, to sit in
the Presence and to listen to the voice of the Beloved.
The call to spirituality is of all those faith
traditions that seek the Divine. Its history is recorded in Holy
Scriptures and in the living stories of the holy ones throughout the
ages.
The Spirit says, "Come."
The Divine Bridegroom says,"Come."
Let that within respond,
"Here I am. Speak, LORD, for my spirit is listening."
