To be a mystic is to be comfortable with uncertainty. A mystic experiences God in a way that moves beyond words. A mystic anticipates guidance that comes through relaxing the thinking process to allow for apprehension of God. Mysticism is fluid.

[JimCvit]

Never give up! Ever! No matter how hard to find it to pray, pray! When you experience nothing, God is closest. If you give up today, you’ll give up tomorrow and you will have an even harder time starting again. Never stop!

I'm listening and learning.

Friendship with Christ. Sts. Theresa and John of the Cross advised heavily we do not focus so much on the experiences or "mysticism", as they can lead to error in reason and imprudence. The focus is seeking to please God at all times in honoring this friendship. The benefits of this prayer life will abound. The Carmelites embody this.

Lectio and prayer of examine were my intro to the Catholic church as an evangelical missionary. They led me to reading the mystics. Which connected with my heart

I just finished the 3 ways of the spiritual life by Rev Garrigou-Lagrange, he leans heavy on the words of St John of the Cross. It blew me away, a local priest loaned it to me... so as a catechume I was surprised to see this video in my feed. Thank you!

What a rich tradition following in the footsteps of Jesus …. Praying to God in the spirit. A distant foretaste of Heaven …

I just talk to Jesus and I concentrate on his presence and on my feeling deep inside. Its like I have a door I can always open. I have experienced very amazing things and I even get a lot of miracles. Most my miraculous prayers are answered and come to me around 3PM when I say and pray the devine mercy prayer. Yu have to keep trying than it clicks suddenly. Jesus opens the door on you. In Bible says if you go to him the veil will be lifted. Your heart inside becomes so overwelmed by his presence. It is so beautiful!Some times you cry so hard and it feels very heavy. God wants to show you the deepness deep inside of your heart.

Thank you Father, sometimes some particular methods of prayer just don’t work for me or even rob me of my interior peace, so I’m glad you mentioned we aren’t bound to these and can put them aside.

I encountered the Diary of Saint Faustina and I believe I found it later in life when I was ready.

I have been a mystic, in a participatory way, for near to a decade now and through the eastern practices, both Orthodox and non-Christian, had tremendous results; but as I settle into my faith, form up my theology, and focus on a path for ministry, it has become more mysty with time.

[JosephOdell]

A thousand times yes! Thank you, father. I've been meditating on this through the writings of Fr Garigou Lagrange (sp) and Fr Paul Murray. I've been trying to share these insights with my confirmation candidates without being overly technical, obscure, or daunting. Methods are always imperfect but are great for forming a starting place. I'll be borrowing from this video heavily. Thanks again!

[SeekersofUnity]

Very much appreciated this thank you brother 🙏🏼

[bottlethrower]

Thank you! Always wondered exactly the definition of Catholic mysticism

[cronkitepercussion]

As a longtime amateur Buddhist coming back to Catholicism, the biggest challenge is making God personal.

[emaldagodomon]

Thank you for this, Fr. Gregory. For the next video, could you please explain about Monasticism and how it is still relevant in our time?

[whymustinamethischannel]

Very similar to the eastern techniques. Praise God!

Meditate on and contemplate His Passion and surrender your will completely to Him. “There are few souls who contemplate My Passion with true feeling; I give great graces to souls who meditate devoutly on My Passion.” (Diary of St. Faustina, 737).
