We close our 20th Anniversary year with the Winter 2025 Caravans newsletter account of our joyful participation in the Center for Action and Contemplation’s October ReVision conference. And we honor the new generation of contemplatives who give us hope for the future. Tessa offers thoughts on “the desert as resistance” and ten key practices for living contemplatively.
Do you enjoy listening to podcasts? Caravans includes links to recent interviews with Tessa and Fr. Dave. We reflect on our long lives and lessons learned on our way through the desert.
If you’re looking for a contemplative way to celebrate the Advent season before Christmas, read Tessa’s wonderful “Christmas in the Desert” in the latest issue of Living City, the magazine of the Focolare Movement in North America.
As Advent begins, I ponder the wonder of waiting for the light of Christ’s birth through the darkest days of the year. And I re-commit myself to hoping and trusting, with G.K. Chesterton, that
The midst of the earth is a raging mirth
And the heart of the earth a star.
