Let's "Hallow" Our Day-to-Day Work

from The Pocket Contemplative · host Dave Schmelzer

One unexpected outcome of the Christian contemplative life is that, per the Benedictines, we'll discover that the stuff we need to do everyday has the possibility of moving from "that stuff we have to get done" to "co-creating a better world with God." And not just that, but it also then might make our days feel rich and purposeful when they'd been feeling less than that. Christa Connelly helped facilitate a fascinating conversation on the ins and outs of this and she and Dave Schmelzer talk about what it's meant for her and might mean for you. Mentioned on this podcast:Joan Chittister's book The Monastic Heart: 50 Simple Practices for a Contemplative and Fulfilling Life
