The Seven Steps on our Pilgrimage in Prayer Series: First Step - Renew, Episode 1

Centre for Applied Carmelite Spirituality (CACS)'s Podcast · 2024-07-03

In this series, there is a beautiful ensemble formed by the Sacred Scripture and the Sayings of Light and Love of St. John of the Cross. Fr. Alex and Susan take hold of the riches in these two holy resources to help us as we pilgrimage to God in prayer. It is consoling to hear John of the Cross say that as we search for God, God is searching for us even more than we can imagine. We seek God to be renewed and God seeks us to renew us. Both God and we are on this pilgrimage, moving towards each other. The heavenly story of the Lover and the Beloved is summed up in the renewal that brings the beloved ever closer to listening to the heartbeats of the Lover.
