What Modern Contemplatives and Mystics teach me about being a better Christian

We are blessed that today we have so many Christian Contemplative and Mystical teachers that are easily accessible. Here I have a list of those that have deeply touched me. Many share insights and often build on one another.

Thomas Merton, OCSO

Fr. Pierre Teilhard De Chardin SJ

Fr. Thomas Keating, OCSO

Fr Richard Rohr, OFM

Rev. Cynthia Bourgeault

Br. David Steindl-Rast, OSB

Fr. Martin Laird, OSA

Through the course of my continued study of these people's writings and presentations and sometimes their presence I will share how their message moves to be being a better Christian. They and their teachings point to the things that are most true to the Christian tradition and what I believe Jesus lived and taught and the biggest meaning of Christ.
