In the first of these, some time in the early 1970\u2019s, my friend\u2019s son, perhaps only four or five years old, said to his mother one day after church, \u201cMama, what\u2019s happening up there in front behind the fence (the altar rail) is what\u2019s <i>really REAL<\/i>, isn\u2019t it?\u201d His child\u2019s innocence enabled him to perceive the real presence of Christ in the bread and wine in a way that most of us struggle to ever know. In the second instance only a few years later, I was attending a meeting of Episcopal religious orders held at one of the more traditional convents. We gathered for Eucharist in a small chapel, and the celebrant wanted to remove the free-standing altar rail so that we could all gather around. An elderly nun was serving as thurifer, and she simply could not bring herself to step into the sanctuary proper across the line where the rail had stood. At the time, I was appalled that she was so locked into the \u2018old\u2019 way of doing things. Now I realize that her actions (perhaps unconscious, but nevertheless genuine) were rooted in an awareness that our souls must be sufficiently prepared to cross that sacred threshold into the Heart. Would that the rest of us (especially we clergy!) had the humility to recognize the sacred ground of the <b>Altar. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>For the <b>Altar<\/b> within the Sanctuary is the preeminent symbol of the <b>Heart<\/b>, where God dwells, the site within the human soul wherein the most profound and exalted contemplation of the Holy Trinity may occur, and it is the destination to which everyone is called.\u00a0 St. John Chrysostom says, <i>\u201cFind the door of your heart, and you will find the door of the Kingdom of Heaven\u201d <\/i>and <i>The Philokalia<\/i> calls the Heart:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cthe spiritual centre of man&#8217;s being, man as made in the image of God, his deepest and truest self, or the inner shrine, to be entered only through sacrifice and death, in which the mystery of the union between the divine and the human is consummated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And so, in this arrangement of praying the psalms week by week, over a four week cycle, we will find ourselves on Saturdays focused on the kind of <i>Holy Dwelling<\/i> best exemplified by the <i>Theotokos<\/i>, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the original sanctuary of our Lord, as well as on the fullness of virtue and purity to which the soul gradually ascends.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, our prayer through the psalms brings us to the praise and worship of God for the ultimate expression of <i>Holy Dwelling<\/i> in the <i>Resurrection of Christ<\/i>, as well as giving us hints of <i>theosis<\/i>, in which as St. Maximus the Confessor says:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cWhen, urged by love, the mind soars to God, it has no sensation either of itself or of anything existing. Illumined by the limitless Divine light, it is insensible to all the created, just as is the physical eye to stars in the light of the sun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yes, this is the \u201c<i>really, Real<\/i>\u201d that only an innocent child\u2014or a holy saint\u2014could recognize. Even so, the wonder is that every time we make our way up that long aisle, though the choir, to the altar, and receive in our own hands and mouths the Body and Blood of Christ, we, too, know the \u201c<i>really, Real<\/i>\u201d; we, too, enter in to <i>Holy Dwelling.<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>HOLY DWELLING<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>CONTEMPLATION OF THE HOLY TRINITY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Holy Dwelling<\/i><\/b> finds the Soul increasingly dwelling within her heart, and now, even the mind is quiet and \u2018naked\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Holy Dwelling<\/i><\/b> brings the Soul ever nearer to the goal of her journey in God. Now, she experiences an ever deepening illumination and contemplation of all that is, seen and unseen.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Holy Dwelling<\/i><\/b><b> <\/b>brings the Soul to contemplation of the Holy Trinity, moving beyond mere words <i>about<\/i> God, to the wordless silence of the heart in pure adoration.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Holy Dwelling<\/i><\/b> is found as the Soul enters the sacred altar of the heart, the Kingdom of Heaven, the place where God alone dwells.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-7\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-7\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th

In 2004, I took solemn vows of Silence, Solitude, and Simplicity as an Anchorite as the fullest and truest expression of my vocation and life in God. My contemplative prayer life is focused in the Eastern Orthodox tradition of Hesychasm, or the Prayer of the Heart, utilizing the \"Jesus Prayer\", and (as best as I am able) the ascetical tradition of \"The Philokalia\". My theological and liturgical perspectives, while profoundly shaped by the Anglican tradition and the \"Book of Common Prayer\", are rooted in the eternal truths as expressed in the creeds and liturgy of the ancient Church.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.holydwelling.com"]}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/holydwelling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/holydwelling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/holydwelling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holydwelling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holydwelling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=504"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/holydwelling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":531,"href":"https:\/\/holydwelling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504\/revisions\/531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/holydwelling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holydwelling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holydwelling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
