Download The Transformation of Suffering: Reflections on September 11 & the Wedding Feast at Cana in Galilee AudioBook Free
Within this audiobook, Father Thomas Keating explores the tragedy of September 11 from the point of view of Christ-consciousness and its own continuing emergence on the globe. Even as he details the attacks of this day as the culmination of all of the previous century's growing assault and disregard for life, he shows us how to identify the resultant anguish as a manifestation of the agony of Christ on the combination that is expanded to all mankind. In the next 1 / 2 of the audiobook, Father Keating tells the story of the Matrimony Feast at Cana in the gospel of John. Here, the normal is juxtaposed with the extraordinary, for it reaches this feast that Jesus executes his first magic, turning normal water into wine and thus disclosing his divinity to the people. How can the joyful history of Christ's first magic address our anguish in the wake of September 11? Both situations display the potentialities and likelihood of Christ disclosing himself within the world. As Jesus' divinity became visible even in the humble setting of the matrimony feast, so normal people's lives can be transformed by the global connection with Christ's incarnation, hurting, and resurrection - having us to new awareness, understanding, and love.
