In this sermon we talk about spiritual transformation of learning how to see. We consider how the envious laborers and power-hungry disciples are focused on first-half of life questions (thank you Richard Rohr). We consider how maturing into the second half of life (which has nothing strictly to do with age) is about moving away from the mode of self-interest, individualism, consumerism, etc. and towards a real posture of love and joy in God’s creation. In the end, we see this journey of learning how to see as the real work of contemplation that Jesus has always called us to.
