Father Thomas Keating
the monk who sits in silence with the healing heart
Rest in God’s love—it’s simpler than you think.
For many years, I lived the rhythm of prayer and work in a monastery, but it was the quiet between the words that taught me the most. I’ve spent my life pointing people back to the presence that’s already within them—no effort, no agenda. Just rest. I’ve laughed with countless souls in retreat halls and found that the healing begins when we stop trying and simply let go.
What I'm Into: Divine Office at dawn, the Cloud of Unknowing, retreat halls, soft laughter, incense in stone chapels
