Mysticism-the direct encounter with God-is not just for spiritual prodigies. Rahner famously observed that the Christians of the future will be mystics-or there will be no Christianity. It was the experience of grace in all the humdrum activities and routines of our lives that he called "the mysticism of everyday life". With readings for Advent, Lent, and the other liturgical seasons, these sermons, prayers, and reflections offer spiritual nourishment for the whole year.
