Pierced by a Sword by Bud Macfarlane Jr.

Once I got started, evrything else had taken a back seat to this book! It was the most inspiring book I have ever read, and that says so much. One afternoon an appointment was running over, so I brought it inside and began to read it. I was working on four or five other books at the time, so Pierced By a Sword would take an indefinate back seat to even my junk mail. I remember looking at the thickness of the book (about 550 pages) and thinking that if they were giving it out for free and it was the author's first book, it was probably not worth my time. She told me it was a Catholic fiction novel and she was given a dozen of them for free. com to the page of that same book.This book given to me by a friend.

We end up believing it's the only reality, and our lives shrivel.' Quoted from Everything Belongs, The Gift of Comtemplative Prayer by Fr Richard Rohr.

If we don't find liminal space in our lives, we start idolizing normalcy. In sacred space the old world is able to fall apart, and the new world is able to be revealed.

It's the realm where God can best get at us because we are out of the way. Get there often and stay as long as you can by whatever means possible. The old world is left behind, but we're not sure of the new one yet.

We have to move out of 'business as usual' and remain on the 'threshold' ( limen, in Latin) where we are betweixt and between. 'We have to allow ourselves to be drawn into sacred space, often called liminality. We are all called to find that sacred place within which brings Life. We believe that all persons, beloved by our God, are called to grow in Christ, thus becoming a fuller member in the community at large, making the Body of Christ on earth more complete.
