The Purpose of Life - Laurence Freeman OSB

An insightful exploration of the nature of meaning, love and healing, that make us look at our life's priorities.  Is it success or meaning: is it quest or nest?  "Perhaps the best context in which we can evaluate meaning," Fr Laurence says, "is death."  Against that horizon our experience of meaning, he says, is inextricably connected with love.  Love enables us to escape from the prison of the ego, the place of loneliness and isolation.  And a regular practice of meditation, he says, could lead us to a greater sense of meaning.  As we open ourselves to the love of God within ourselves, we come to harmony and integration with ourselves, and therefore with others, the world, the universe, and with God.
