I talk to our old friend Fr Jeffrey Kirby, a parish priest in the Diocese of Charlston, South Carolina (apologies to both Carolinas - I think I said North Carolina in the interview!).
Through his latest book, he hopes to introduce the idea that we are all called to be mystics, and this is something that is available through the Church’s great tradition of prayer and spirituality to everyone. You don’t need to be a Carmelite to be mystic, it is available to us through our approach to the everyday tasks of life and worship at our parish church. His book leads us to this point with easily applied practical steps.
