Episode 40 - Becoming an Ordinary Mystic, Part 1

This is a podcast you won’t want to miss! Steve interviews Father Albert Haase - a friar, priest, and author and a man who has a wonderful accent and laugh. His book “Becoming an Ordinary Mystic” is the focus of the podcast, which is all about learning to cultivate a life with God where we draw close, listen, and respond moment to moment. It was such a great conversation that it went way over our usual time, so we made it into 2 parts!

We continue the conversation on Benedictine Spirituality with Sister Mary Colleen. It’s an emotional and deep conversation on discernment and the four movements of rhythm; work, study, prayer, and leisure. As you listen, ask these questions: what is speaking to you, and what stirs in you as you listen? Share your answers at podcast@pottersinn.com, we would love to hear from you as you take the steps toward a life of rhythm.

What is Benedictine spirituality? And how can it be a model in our chaotic, confusing, fast-paced world?

Today Steve is talking with Sister Mary Colleen Schwartz from Benet Hill Monastery, a Benedictine Monastery in Colorado Springs, CO that follows the teachings of St. Benedict. St. Benedict recognized that prayer, work, study, and leisure, while in community, could create a mechanism to seek Christ authentically. Listen as Steve and Sister Mary Colleen unpack what that means for each of us, and how to live an integrated and contemplative life.
