Mystics

From now on, regard this life as a desert through which you pass until you come to the Promised Land, the Jerusalem which is above, the land of the living. --St. Augustine
 
We are all called to be mystics in Christ Jesus. A Mystic is someone who has a nagging sense of the invisible Other. We wait for a world that is invisible. We worship a God Who is invisible. We believe more in what we don't see than what we do see. In fact, what we see is many times in opposition to what we know. We are passing through a world of death we see, into a world of life we have not seen. We pray daily to our invisible Father, we ask for the prayers of our invisible family in heaven, and we press on to an invisible reward that lies ahead. We are mystics in Jesus Christ.
