Fr. Thomas Keating

He was a wisdom teacher who taught me the virtues of humility, detachment, acceptance and surrender to what is, and respect and love all of creation. Thank you, Fr. Keating for giving so much of yourself to the centering prayer community, and for modelling for us how to live the contemplative life in this world. May God hold you tenderly in His loving arms for all of eternity.

Learning Centering Prayer from you was the changing moment of my life. I will always be grateful for your kindness and sincerity that I received in your conference with Fr. Rohr.....go in love to your next journey......

A wise spiritual leader has died and his life is being celebrated today, at this very hour in St. Joseph's Abbey Spencer where a funeral mass is held. I am very thankful for having been able to interview him in 2015 and work together with him on his last book 'World Without End'. He guided me through his ideas that have made a difference to so many people around the world. Dear teacher, a sincere thank you. We'll miss you.
