Everyday Mysticism: How to Encounter God in Your Daily Life

De: Anthony J. Ciorra

"In the days ahead, you will either be a mystic or nothing at all." (Karl Rahner)

Join Fr. Anthony Ciorra, of the world’s leading living experts on Christian spirituality, to find the mystic inside you.

Find God in the midst of daily life through this powerful course. These inspiring lectures will give you a deeper understanding of the mystical experience. In particular, you will explore one form of mysticism: "everyday mysticism," as it was called by 20th-century theologian Karl Rahner.

As Fr. Ciorra demonstrates, we are called not to be extraordinary mystics but extraordinary human beings who experience God in ordinary ways. We often think of mystics as superhuman persons who have paranormal experiences such as visions, ecstasy, and stigmata. When you look closely at such saints as Thérèse of Lisieux, however, you will see that to be a mystic is to occupy the core of human experience. As you explore the mystical writings of such inspiring figures, you will discover that there are both common threads and clear differences. In doing so you will see how God is a mystery who can never be fully defined.

Fr. Ciorra's presentations will lead you to a deeper appreciation of how you are already a mystic. Discover your own inner mysticism today in this inspiring yet practical course.

This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide.

Profound Reflections from a True Teacher

Fr. Ciorra is one of those people who was born to teach. He distills ageless wisdom into understandable bites that directly apply to your everyday life. Listening to this program was soothing and gave me much needed time for reflection during a turbulent time.

Everyday mystic

Not crazy about the job Christian aspects. A little too liberal. Ok I guess for the non traditional

Food for thought for your spiritual journey!

This was a wonderful presentation on the bliss of accessing the Infinite, the Other...if you are a person who's recovering from formal religion, do not be put off by the simple fact of Ciorra's use of "traditional" elements in the material...it's an organic whole, a true and fresh meditation. Absolutely recommended!

Insightful and practical

I've listened to several of Fr. Ciorra's courses and retreats by Learn25. This is one of his very best. In this series, Ciorra unpacks mysticism, demonstrating its relevance to Christian faith in general and to our individual lives. His presentation style is warm and inviting by also information-packed and well supported by his command of many sources. I highly recommend this series.

Thought- Provoking and Inspiring!

Bravo, Anthony Ciorra for this thought-provoking and inspirational nourishment for the journey to God. Listened twice and most likely will listen again!
