The Hidden Way - Ray Simpson - Bog

Join Ray Simpson in prayer as you follow the hidden way to spiritual life.
Ray Simpson has spent his life following the mystic's path that lies hidden in the midst of everyday life. This path is also the heart of Celtic Christianity: simply following in Christ's footsteps in the ordinariness of life. From this perspective, everything becomes an act of spiritual meaning-getting up in the morning and going to bed at night, going to work and playing with children, suffering pain and rejoicing in pleasure, working together in friendships and families and communities.
Ultimately, the hidden path is the way of love-love of God, love of other human beings, and love of all Creation, including our own selves. Love weaves through all Reality, expressed in souls and cells and societies. Love empowers us to walk confidently, even when the way ahead is obscured, for this is also the Path of Promise. As it leads us through the humdrum details of each day, our earthly lives participate in eternity. As John Chrysostom wrote in the fourth century, "Love brings us heaven."
Knowing One of the hidden path,
Infinite One of the wise heart,
may I learn from night, may I learn from day.
Show me your hidden path.
