The Treasures of Fr Thomas Keating with Marie Anne Best

Joining me to discuss, understand and unpick the treasures that Fr Keating has left us is Marie Anne Best. And Marie Anne has worked in various capacities with Contemplative Outreach. In recent years, probably the last 10 years of father Keating's life, she was the project manager for all his latest works of production, whether it be books or video production series and his teachings.

She has been instrumental in working very closely alongside Fr Keating. So there is no better person to discuss his legacy and who Fr Keating was and the integrity he brought to everything that he did.

Welcome, welcome, welcome
I welcome everything that comes to me today;
because I know it is for my healing.
I welcome all thoughts, feelings, emotions, persons, situations and conditions;
I let go of my desire for power and control
I let go of my desire for affection, esteem, approval and pleasure;
I let go of my desire for survival and security;
I let go of my desire to change every situation, condition, person, or myself.
I simply open myself to the love and presence of God and God’s action within me.
