“You see that the presence of God in His creatures is never idle; it acts incessantly, it preserves, it governs.
Beware, then, of stopping at a sterile contemplation of God present in yourself.
Add action to contemplation; to the sight of the Divine presence add the faithful accomplishment of the Divine will."
— St. Ignatius of Loyola, The Spiritual Exercises.
Do you believe mystical experiences are only for the lives of the great saints? Would you be surprised if your neighbor or fellow parishioner experienced a miracle, heard a message from an angel, or felt they had seen a glimpse of heaven? What if one average guy experienced all of these?
God wishes for us to share our experiences with one another. Read the story of one unlikely mystic, Ed Jozsa, an airline pilot from Cicero, Indiana, whose life changed in an instant after a catastrophic car accident derailed his life and nearly destroyed his body. Ed shares what brought him closer to Jesus. He describes the visions that helped him understand his true purpose on this earth and the message he feels called to share with others.
Read his story and ask yourself how God may be working through your life or calling out to you.
