“The infinite is inside of us” - with Ronald Rolheiser

from Spiritual Wanderlust · host Kelly Deutsch

What do the mystics mean by “divine union”? Why is suffering such a big deal for them - and what role does it play in our contemplative path?Today I have joining me a fellow spiritual Wanderluster, Fr. Ronald Rolheiser. Fr. Ron is a professor, retreat leader, award-winning author, and serves as president of the Oblate School of Theology. One reason why his writings are so popular is that he is able to speak in very human language, which I deeply appreciate. His books include The Holy Longing, The Restless Heart, Sacred Fire, and Wrestling with God.Join us for a conversation about mysticism, longing, divine union, the role of asceticism, and what a true contemplative looks like.
