22 January 2023 | Third Monday in Ordinary Time | Menlo Park, Calif. This week, I share about our silent retreat with Bishop Daly of Spokane, Washington, and the first days of the spring semester, with comprehensive exams right around the corner. We also begin our new series of Carmelite conversations on St. Teresa of Avila’s Interior Castle. What does it mean for the soul to go within itself, even to the innermost room? Opening music: “Shalom lakh, Miryam,” sung by Harpa Dei, 2021. All rights reserved. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/in-your-embrace/message
