"The call of the monk, and hence humanity as a whole - insofar as there is an archetype of the monk in every human being- is to open to one's eternal potential in God, in the the new creation whose center is Christ " Bede Griffiths. St Benedict describes the monastic life as a search for God. This search is gone on from the beginning of human history. People everywhere are seeking for an ultimate meaning and purpose in life. In a world where meaning and purpose often seem to have been lost. How can we find God in the world today? What answer can Christianity give? Is there within the Christian tradition a path to the Supreme a way of direct experience God, that is what people are looking for today?
In this talk Bede Griffiths invites to reflect on the message Father John Main has left us as a way to discover for ourselves the tradition of this wisdom, the knowledge of God through love.
