Contemplation & Beyond

Some of us believe that contemplation is the keystone of an integrated life consisting of work and/or other meaningful activity, an ongoing relationship with God (however you may define God), and relating effectively with others: friends, family, co-workers and others in your community and in the world.

In addition to being a forum for discussing the above...(more)

Fr. Thomas Keating is in the Hospital

maryw said Sep 9, 6:42 PM:
 

Hi all –

I just received the following note from our local Contemplative Outreach (centering prayer) coordinators today:

We received an email from Gail Fitzpatrick Hoppler today, that Fr. Thomas Keating is hospitalized in Aspen.  He has blood clots on his lungs and is being evaluated for treatment.  Please remember him in prayer, and please contact each member of your prayer group, asking that they pray for him.
 
I imagine that he is taking this in stride, accepting all with quiet grace.

Thanks for any prayers, metta, healing vibes, etc., that you are able to offer.

Mary

Thank you Mary for letting us know.   Yes, I am sure he is taking this in his stride, and I will pray for him.

Thanks, Jayne and Clare and all.

The latest is that he's waiting to hear from his doc about some procedures that might help him. He remains in good spirits.

Peace,
Mary

Update –


Fr. Thomas had a filtering procedure done that will keep other clots from going into his lungs. He's said to be in good shape and is expected to return to the monastery in a couple of days or so.


Cheers,
Mary
