A Time of Adoration - The Eternal Word
When it comes to decision in your study of the Scripture and the time you begin to secure for your treasury and moments of grace in reflection, a CONTEMPLATION begins to dispense a deriving FORCE OF ACTION! This action is the soul at a FORM OF WORSHIP in reading the Scripture.
Adoration of the MOST HOLY TRINITY takes its course at a natural and corporal form of body language. Prostration, bowing, kneeling performs the action of WORSHIP. The corporal act of adoration reflects the spiritual interior disposition of the heart at the care you have found in a discipline of study. It is a natural course and a supernatural dimension of delivery.
Have you ever found yourself sparked by an idea of creativity that the work of study comes to a completion and a project is completed as a finished product? Study and discipline allows this progression of completion of product. The same happens with the study of scripture. THERE IS A FINALITY! A purpose and FORCE OF CONTEMPLATION that envelopes the soul that is in complete UNION with the WORD that has been studied. You become ONE with the DISCIPLINE!
It is a discipline to find the body in adoration. TO BE STILL and KNOW that I AM GOD is a discipline. Not everyone can be still after a moment of reflection in the STUDY OF SCRIPTURE! In fact the mental state of many who begin this endeavor, interrupt the study and the moment of discipline. A reason to make the moment to read scripture takes over with other reasons and you find the study of scripture never found its way out of the bookshelf that eventually collects dust to the point of no return.
Religious Life makes it a discipline and RULE OF LIFE to study and read scripture. It is integrated through Daily Mass. The Scriptures are read through as a reflection through the Liturgy of the Mass. Daily Mass provides a study as you worship and if you have been enveloped in this worship of Daily Adoration and Eucharist and Mass, you will find the integration of your life in this discipline suddenly a natural breathing course of your corporal act of adoration. It will be INNATE at a natural disposition with no difficulty of penetration what SCRIPTURE disciplines in the STILLNESS of CONTEMPLATION!
There is a CREATIVE CURRICULUM in religious life and formation when coming to the discipline of studying scripture. I say, "Creative" because it is an integration of life and a variety of forms to install the study. We have a marked schedule and through the centuries it has simplified the heart of meeting the intention of integral life forms of adoration. The Charism is different in every rule of life and this is in itself an infinite and BEAUTIFUL aspect of the discipline in reading the BOOK we believe is the ETERNAL WORD!
Carmelite Spirituality brought forth a ROMANTICISM of MYSTICISM. Dominican Spirituality has a CONTEMPLATION of STUDY. Jesuit Spirituality pronounces a SCHOLARLY AFFECTION of Discipline in the STUDY OF SCRIPTURE! Benedictines, Cistercians, Norbertines, Opus Dei and many other charisms addresses the many WORKS of the HOLY SPIRIT reaching so many deliveries of HOW THE WORD is HEARD by the HEART of a PERSON!
What you will find is a GIFT is the WORD speaking and probing the HEART of ADORATION! The end of LIFE is WORSHIP and the Beatific Vision is THE WORD made FLESH in the EYES of the SOUL! Contemplation and Adoration of the WORD will take its IQ through a penetration and the
natural cause of this reflection is INFINITELY beyond the IQ!
At a POINT, no words will make THE WORD well expressed to a number and the CLARITY will take the SPARK TOWARDS A FIRE OF INFINITE and infinite is infinite.
