I love this: “The work before us is the same work given in Sufi teaching and Christian contemplation alike: polish the heart. Endure the unknowing. Stay in love when love feels costly.”
This is what we learn when we experience God in any of Its many forms. Then comes the hard part of staying in love when it feels costly. Now is such a time for sure 🙏
Enjoy your coffee today! I was musing on the 99 Names yesterday as Ramadan begins today. You've inspired me to look through the lens of Mary Magdalene -- this is a beautiful pairing! As always, thank you for your generous shares! ♥️
How is it that adding Sufism to anything pretty much always makes it better? It's like ... curry powder. Brilliant and full of flavor and healing.
This reminds me of Rohr's suggested use of YHWH in meditation. "YAH" on the inhale, "WHEY" on the exhale. Thank you VMB for the reminder.🖖
Thank you for this! Makes my heart happy 😊
This is so beautiful and must be savored again and again. Thank you.
I love this writing and practice. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful practice.
Thank you! This is really helpful. I get more and more intrigued by Sufism every time I encounter it.
Beautiful 💕🫂💕✨
Your words give Me
The courage to continue 💕✨⛓️💥
Yes!
Beautifully drawn—seeing Mary Magdalene through the 99 Divine Names illuminates the shared depths of mysticism across traditions.
Beautiful!
