Fr Thomas, you probably are watching us here..please pray for us. I am awed with so much wisdom and fruits of deep contemplation! Thank you for leaving your legacy

This brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful life he lived. May he rest in eternal peace.

If any man ever deserved to be canonized it is father Thomas Keeting. If he isn't a saint then no one is

[Barbara-gvvw]

So grateful I found this, this morning

[redlightrambler]

God has pushed me from a bible beating christian who was refined by fire 10 years ago to an acceptation of so much more than “the belief that chirst existed.” My new awakening has been so intense and fast and full of tears and fear and pure anguish. Thank u so much for documenting/sharing this. Transcending duality through Jesus Christ is something I could never imagined but answers every question and doubt I ever hid from. I love u all.

One of the most inspiring talks I ever heard, from a man of such light and love. I am so grateful and feel so blessed to receive these words!

What a beautiful soul. I can only imagine what a reception he had from God. The joy and love and bliss he received from our lord.

[jacqueline]

Oh how I love this man. I discovered his writings at a time in my life when Depression seemed to have won and God had taken a backward seat. I found hope and a renewed sense of God’s purpose in my life. RIP

Truly beautiful teachings. This is more or less identical to what we Theravada Buddhists, and especially us in the Buddhist Forest Tradition, practice.
The seeds of teachings like this are indeed spreading and sprouting and growing with ever increasing speed.
May you all find peace within 🙏

"If we really love God, we don't have a care in the world."

Just hit the right button when I need it the most.

I've watched this video several times. Today what hit me was "allowing God to love us". It seems that is the only thing we need to do and the rest will fall into place. I am grateful for this child of God Fr. Thomas Keating.

Fr. Thomas, what a gift you are and will remain. Your love literally flows from your eyes to the heart.

[elohisa]

Father Thomas how right you are! You have changed my Christian walk and the direction I kept looking in and not finding any deep answers. You are an inspiration to me, you are a Light unto this dark path that at times makes no sense at all if not the comfort that someone like yourself has gone ahead of us in the like of St Theresa of Avila and St John of the Cross to keep that light shining. Thank you thank you thank you. Pray for us if your Spirit is allowed to do so by our Lord Yeshua. How the Angels must be rejoicing for your return, whilst here on earth you are very missed. I wish I met you years ago. BLESS YOU

I am so grateful for these videos of Fr. Keating. I miss him so very much.

[Beatrice.Ndungu]

It takes great effort to do nothing. ❤️ Do nothing and be in the presence of Presence. Thank you Father. Rest in peace. ☮️🕊️

I can't put into words how grateful I was to watch this yesterday with all around the world, tuned into the memorial. To all who put this together, my immense gratitude.

[heartsky]

Father Thomas' writings have had a wonderful impact on me. Was introduced by Ken Wilber and his writings about Integral Christianity.

[pattersondsmccd]

I loved his response about coming home -- something like, "Well, I hope I already am home!" Thank you!

Father Keating has left us with such a rich legacy in his recordings, in his books and videos. In watching this video, it feels like he left "himself" with us too. Praise God
