The Unknown Is Our Doorway

Join Monk Ryan Rigoli, Monk Thomas Hildebrand, and Alexandra Velickovic for an evening of healing prayer exploring the topic, ‘The Unknown is Our Doorway.’

How do we keep an open heart and mind in the face of uncertainty? 

It’s common to feel anxious, exposed, or intimidated when we don’t know what lies next –– in a relationship, with our health or that of a loved one, in a job, with the state of the world, or even simply in conversation with someone who has an entirely different point of view. Yet by allowing ourselves to become intimate with the space of not knowing (not needing to know, be right, or have all the answers), we can develop a Heart that is truly open to what God is drawing us towards and calling forth within us on how to respond to life, and to others. In essence, a Heart that is able to connect to a higher dimension of our Being is one where grace has an entrypoint into our lives.

Join us for an evening of prayer where our guests share personal experiences, quotes, and readings on how keeping an open Heart in the midst of uncertainty opens the doorway to deep healing, inner transformation, and a space of all possibilities. Healing prayers are offered at the end of the episode.
