Fr. Thomas Keating explores the mystery of the cross. It is not only a means of forgiving us our sins but also an invitation to allow God to love us. When everything is said and done, the cross is pure gift filling us with life, light, and love. It is a gift that calls us into divine, eternal life.
Fr. Thomas ends this talk by leading the community into an experience of Centering Prayer.
